SPIN TIRES

Level Up 2011 Version

Spin Tires is an off-road driving game, based on Havok Physics. Focused on simulating heavy trucks and set up in fantastic nighttime environment, it features realistic and unique terrain/mud deformations, advanced water simulation, interactive and detailed foliage, and complex game lighting. The killer feature is believable physics simulation supported by fancy graphics, and the weakness is probably lack of carefully designed gameplay, so approach Spin Tires as a sandbox.

Gameplay
Your goal in this Spin Tires version is to collect and deliver packages scattered across the map to warehouses. Use Navigation mode ([F1] by default) to find your current objective. You can also evacuate truck to a starting position in Navigation mode, but if at that time you have package loaded, you will lose it. After you deliver a package, truck addons and additional vehicles are unlocked in truck garage. You start with Kamaz truck, which is a typical highway truck. After you deliver 3 packages, Kraz is unlocked, which is a full-wheel drive heavy vehicle. With it, you can deliver all remaining packages. Vehicle cant be damaged in Spin Tires, nor can it sink in water. Spin Tires silently saves game state when you close it, and you can resume game from any point by selecting Play/Continue in Main Menu. Selecting Play/Start erases game progress and starts a new game.

You can drive vehicle in two modes: - Automatic gearbox, with differential unlocked - Manual gearbox, with locked differential Unlocked differential in Spin Tires means, if any of wheels hang in air, force wont be applied to other vehicle wheels, and it wont move. So, when you drive over rough terrain, or stuck in mud use Manual gearbox. To do so, press [F] (by default), and drag gearbox handle to a position you need with mouse. Note, that with manual gearbox, brake ([S] by default) wont make vehicle reverse you need to select reverse gear manually. The same way, acceleration ([W]) wont make vehicle move forward while reverse gear is selected. You can also force acceleration pedal with manual gearbox. To do so, click right mouse button that would lighten the tiny lamp of gearbox handle. Vehicles dont move fast in Spin, so dont let this frustrate you in a way, this is limitation of technology used by the game.
