Brought to you by the mobile developers at Caravan Interactive, go, car, go is a physics-based game for the nerdy kid in all of us.
A deceivingly-simplistic premise, users can build a car and test it on a variety of courses. Users are given the necessary tools to build their vehicles and allowed one push at the beginning of each level, and will progress to further levels if their car makes it through the duration of the course. The full version of the game includes 48 levels split over 4 worlds, each more challenging than the last.
Additionally, "sandbox mode" allows you to compete with other users for best distance in the Game Center. The catchy tunes are a product of Kevin MacLeod.
How to play: Drag each piece (blocks and wheels) to its desired placement. Use as few wheels and blocks as you desire, bearing in mind that your cars weight will affect the inertia required to make it roll over any obstacles on the terrain. Choose between straw, wood, or stone blocks. When you are done, push play to set it on its course.
Go Car, Go!
