What people love about it
- Nobody sits out. The whole group plays at once instead of taking turns.
- Chaos scales. More players means more rescues, pile-ups and arguments.
- Easy to start. Invites from a friends list, no complicated setup.
What feels familiar
- 1–8 players online in one lobby, invited from your Steam friends list.
- With eight solid cars on one route, the climb turns into traffic: bridges, pushes and pile-ups on narrow planks.
- Mixed-skill groups work: strong drivers can rescue, bridge and push the rest up.
What’s different
- It’s a co-op climb, not a minigame collection: one shared route to the summit.
- No checkpoints, so a fall really matters.
- Real driving physics with solid cars, so how you help (or ruin) each other is physical.
- Steam Early Access from October 26, 2026, on Windows PC.
If your group wants short competitive rounds with a winner every few minutes, a party minigame collection may fit better. If you want one long shared climb, this is it.
