New mobile games pop up every day, and today, we’re shining the spotlight on Drive, Not Dive, an exciting arcade game that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Created by indie developer Vikas Pawar using Buildbox, this high-stakes, high-score chaser has players balancing a car on a narrow plank, with no room for error. It’s simple, but it’s not easy!
It’s currently ranked Top 100 racing game in the US App Store and was recently featured.
So, let’s check out Vikas Pawar’s Drive, Not Dive!
Drive, Not Dive – Dodge, Balance & Survive
Download Drive, Not Dive on the App Store now and put your reflexes to the ultimate test!
In Drive, Not Dive, your goal is to keep your car balanced on a tilting plank by tapping left or right. One wrong move and your car goes flying into the void before the timer runs out. It’s game over. The longer you stay on, the higher your score climbs. Along the way, mischievous coins appear, and grabbing them triggers surprise effects. You might get a breather with frozen time or find yourself dodging a missile that drops from above.
The twist? Some effects will help, and others? Not so much. It’s a game of risk and reward, and each run feels unique. These coins also unlock new cars for your garage. With over 15+ unlockable vehicles, you can switch things up with everything from a classic sedan to a quirky off-road buggy.
And if you’re feeling a little impatient, there are optional in-app purchases for faster access to some cool rides.
As for the visuals, Drive, Not Dive embraces a minimalist art style. The background is simple, and the car and plank are straightforward, leaving you to focus entirely on your balancing act. The clean design and vibrant color palette keep things fresh without distracting from the action, while the lighthearted soundtrack adds some fun to the high-pressure gameplay.
There’s even a fun challenge called “Race to 509,” going on now with players competing to score 509 points. If you’re in the mood for a game that’s quick to play but tough to master, this game is a must-try!
