An amazing bargain.

I like simple puzzle games and driving games. The main play mode of Offroad Mania sort of combines the two. Short levels with three items to collect. I play the levels on hard where you have to collect all three in one go. It's a fun little challenge each time out and there's 300~ levels. Plus there's other game modes too. All with a developer that has been active throughout the game's lifespan. Definitely a labor of love.

The driving simulation side of things is a mixed bag. It's mostly well designed but the controls on gamepad are hard to tune in just right for my personal preferences. Even though there are unique torque curves for each vehicle, a simple gearbox and stuff like steering speed settings to play around with; Everything feels a tad snappy or punchy. Especially the throttle. Which can be bothersome in a methodical rock crawler. But I try to think of it as part of the challenge.

Always revisit it every few months for an afternoon to see what's new and/or replay a few challenges. Great bargain, competent game, and devoted dev.
