Drive UP: Together co-op, pushing and car physics
Every car in a Drive UP: Together lobby is a solid object, so up to 8 players can park across a gap as a bridge, push a friend over a ledge no single car can clear, or shunt a stuck car free. The same controls can also tap a rival off the edge. Momentum is the core skill: too little and you slide back, too much and you overshoot.
How the driving works
| Physics detail | Effect described by the developer |
|---|---|
| Braking | Weight shifts forward |
| Too much throttle | The back end steps out |
| Crests | Suspension compresses, then unloads on the way down |
| Steel ramps | Tires can lose grip at the worst moment |
| Falling | Height lost is height you must climb again |
Stuck upside down
Cars can get wedged between beams or inside pipes. The two options Gamevato describes are waiting for a friend to line up and push you free, or resetting the car and climbing again.
Getting a lobby going
Invite friends from inside the game (added in v0.1.1) or from the Steam friends list, pick a car color, and start. Gamevato says no driving skill is needed because the first hill teaches the basics. Controller support is listed as partial.
