Windy Route
Read full descriptionHide full description
Windy Route is a co-op survival driving game. Your car is broken down in the middle of an endless desert road — repair it piece by piece while fighting off the dangers of the wasteland, then drive as far as you can before it breaks down again. FEATURES • Endless Desert Road — Every run is a race against distance. Push your best km further with each attempt. • Repair Your Car — Find and reattach all 7 car parts (doors, hood, trunk, windshield) scattered across the world to get moving again. • Fight or Flee — Zombies, armed raiders, and wolves roam the wasteland. Arm yourself with pistols, rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles, or just outrun them. • Day & Night Cycle — The desert gets a lot more dangerous after dark. • Tornadoes — Random tornadoes sweep across the road, lifting and throwing cars and players. Keep your eyes on the horizon, steer clear, or take shelter inside a building. • Manage Your Resources — Keep an eye on fuel, food, and ammo. Running out in the middle of nowhere is never good news. • Loot & Sell — Scavenge valuables from the road and sell them at trading posts for coins. • Customize — Spend your coins on cosmetics: hats, sunglasses, backpacks, car paint, and more. • Play Solo or Co-op — Host or join a friend's game with a simple code, or add friends and invite them straight from your friends list, and take on the road together. • Checkpoints Every 5km — Rest stops and bridges mark your progress up to 30km and beyond. • Leaderboards & Achievements — Compete for the longest route and unlock achievements as you play. How far can you make it?
