Open Drive Brings Inclusive Racing to Mobile Gamers
Breaking barriers in mobile gaming, Open Drive enters early access on Android as more than just another racing title. Developed collaboratively by accessibility pioneers SpecialEffect and Sun & Moon Studios, this innovative game redefines what playing "your way" truly means.
Custom Controls for Every Player
What makes Open Drive revolutionary is its adaptable control scheme. Whether you prefer touchscreen, keyboard and mouse, specialized switches or traditional controllers, the game molds to your preferred playstyle. Notably, it introduces groundbreaking eye gaze technology that lets players steer simply by looking left or right.
This technological leap opens racing adventures to gamers who've previously faced exclusion due to physical limitations. The eye-tracking functionality works seamlessly across all four immersive environments: high-octane Stunt zones, blistering Speed tracks, slippery Snow circuits, and peaceful Meadow routes.
Play at Your Own Pace
The gameplay adapts to your mood as much as your abilities. Feel like leisurely cruising? Collect orbs while exploring vibrant landscapes. Want adrenaline? Push Roadsters to their limits or pull off death-defying jumps with Tricksters. The adjustable speed settings ensure everyone finds their perfect racing rhythm.
Early Access Features
Currently available through Google Play's early access program, Open Drive automatically recognizes and optimizes settings for whatever control method you choose. Switch Access users will find full Android integration, while touchscreen players can toggle between 'Precise' tapping mechanics and 'Classic' directional controls.
While the eye-tracking function isn't fully implemented yet, the summer release promises this game-changing accessibility feature will be available free of charge. Each control scheme offers multiple customization options, ensuring players with different abilities can fine-tune their racing experience.
