While it\u2019s still early in development, things look to be progressing well on the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unfamiliar, <em>Buck Up and Drive<\/em>, it\u2019s similar to <em>Out Run<\/em> if it was taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/reviews\/review-buck-up-and-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">its furthest extremes<\/a>. You not only race against time, but you also flip the hell out, performing absurd stunts that look like your car got stuck in the level geometry, and the physics don&#8217;t know how to cope. There\u2019s also drifting and rail-grinding, the normal sort of thing you\u2019d expect from a racing game. It was part of my list of 2021 games you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/six-awesome-games-you-might-have-missed-in-2021-gems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">might have missed<\/a>, which is what I did before just making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/zoey-handleys-top-10-picks-of-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">usual top 10 list<\/a> every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If you thought the first game was nuts, the sequel will be sure to drive you up the wall!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/gamedev?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#gamedev<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiedev?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiedev<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiegame?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiegame<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GodotEngine?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GodotEngine<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ofIUYX4UuI\">pic.twitter.com\/ofIUYX4UuI<\/a><\/p>&mdash; F\u00e1bio Fontes (Art Commissions Open!)

I\u2019m not sure how that\u2019s possible, but F\u00e1bio Fontes obviously has the answer: driving on walls. Do you remember <a href=\"https:\/\/marvel.fandom.com\/wiki\/Spider-Mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Spider-Mobile<\/a> from the 1970\u2019s <em>Spider-Man <\/em>comics?

I\u2019m not sure why, but I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Buck Up and Drive 2<\/em> is built in the Godot Engine, probably because Fontes had a falling out with the GameMaker Engine following their move <a href=\"https:\/\/fabiofontes.itch.io\/buck-up-and-drive\/devlog\/284161\/regarding-the-games-long-term-plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to a subscription model<\/a>. Thankfully, the billboards have returned for the sequel. Some players complained about the original game\u2019s common use of pride flags as billboards, so in response, Fontes added a \u201cPride Flag Billboard Toggle.\u201d When toggled, it simply adds more pride flags. Respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Buck Up and Drive 2<\/em> is coming to PC.
