Drive//Shaft

This game is great
Just like its trailer
It was made in one week
The game, not the trailer

You drive really fast
But it's hard to see
You drive late at night
So it's not easy

Your friends can play too
It's a race to the ball
Get there first for a point
It's a fun time for all

So give Drive//Shaft a go
There's no reason to wait
It's only a dollar
You're going to do great

Developer's Note

Hi, I'm Alex Schearer the founder of Spotted Zebra Software. I've been making games for a while, but always in two dimensions. I wanted to learn how to make 3D games and decided that making a game a week was a good, challenging way to do so.

Drive//Shaft is my first week long game. You're driving a fast car late at night on a deserted island, and you're goal is to collect as many mysterious glowing orbs as possible. The problem is there are other people on the island, too, and they're all better drivers than you! Drive//Shaft is a simple game which is fun because driving fast at night is fun, and because physics based, online gameplay is fun.

I'm releasing Drive//Shaft for one dollar so people can join me in this crazy game-a-week adventure. If you'd like to share your thoughts, please leave a review or post to the Steam forums. If I get enough feedback I will improve the game based on what player's want.

Thanks for reading this; I really hope you enjoy the game!
