Deck13 Spotlight is thrilled to announce its partnership in publishing “Pocket Wheels,” an exciting new blend of racing and platforming crafted by the talented solo developer Florian Wolf. This imaginative game is revving up for release on platforms including Windows PC (available on Steam and GOG), Xbox consoles, Switch, and both generations of PlayStation, slated for a 2026 debut. Enthusiasts can already get a taste of the action through a playable demo available on Steam.
“Pocket Wheels” invites players to step into the exhilarating world of childhood imagination, where toy cars come alive in a journey that mixes the charm of a 3D platformer with the high-speed thrills of a racing game. Drawing inspiration from the beloved 90s collectathon genre, the game allows players to drive a toy car packed with intriguing capabilities such as jumping, gliding, and a nifty grappling hook.
The adventure unfolds within the vast and varied landscape of a fully explorable house. Collect coins as you navigate through the uniquely themed rooms, each boasting its own set of race tracks, challenges, and hidden treasures. The toy garage is your hub for upgrading to new vehicle models, each one offering distinct advantages that will be necessary to conquer different terrains and objectives.
Pocket Wheels elevates the gaming experience with special abilities that add depth and creativity to gameplay. Leap over obstacles or glide across the room to discover new paths and secrets. The inclusion of a grappling hook provides an edge in maneuverability, allowing for stylish navigation across the household.
Exploration is at the heart of Pocket Wheels. In this gigantic world seen from a toy car’s perspective, common household items transform into formidable challenges. Equip AR glasses to unveil new perspectives and uncover a multitude of fresh obstacles and objectives. However, beware of the ever-roaming Roomba, a hazard in this delightful miniature world.
Get ready to embark on an adventurous journey through this whimsical house, where every room promises new surprises and endless fun. Stay tuned for more updates as Pocket Wheels prepares to roll onto your favorite gaming platforms!
