Things on Wheels

In Things on Wheels, players control remote control cars in racing competitions. Many races have a non-linear track design, where the player can choose from pathways that may branch to shortcuts or secrets. They can collect one of four power-ups (freeze, shield, static shocker, or speed boost) that give temporary abilities.

Single-player mode has players race against a CPU player. Outside the game, players may use a sandbox mode to freely learn tracks, their layout and controls of the cars.

Following the completion and release of Mad Tracks (2006), and its port for the Xbox Live Arcade, the studio began development of the project. Its innovation in the racing game genre was the non-linear track design. Some concepts and gameplay mechanics like camera setting and track editor were considered but scrapped in the final game. While the reason for the latter was unknown, the first studio couldn't find its useful purpose in the game. Microsoft Windows' version of the game was planned to be released along with Xbox 360 version, but it was cancelled for unknown reason.

Things on Wheels received mostly negative reviews from critics. According to Metacritic, the game has a "generally unfavorable" rating of 41, based on 11 critics. Jack DeVries of IGN criticized the game's CPU players' faultiness and stated the single-player campaign was "boring" with a "poorly written" story.

Graphics were mostly viewed negatively by multiple critics. Jack DeVries of IGN expressed that he saw other Indie games looking better than TOW, by the time when it was released. The darkness of it was also criticized by Brett Todd of GameSpot, as it would "often obscure track hazards". Jeuxvideo.com described it as "bland and tasteless, and the scenery has no style whatsoever. It's truly ugly, both in a technical and artistic sense."
