Getting started with Drive It

Overview

Drive It requires you to pay attention to your partner while traversing through the obstacle course in a two-seater car.

This Roblox experience has two distinct roles: the Driver and the Steerer. The Driver can accelerate or move the vehicle in reverse but has no directional control. In contrast, the Steerer can only control the lateral movement of the car, but they can’t move the vehicle forward or backward on their own.

This results in a relatively straightforward obstacle course becoming downright treacherous as the game demands perfect coordination between both players. The path is rough and requires precise control over both the car’s momentum and direction. Naturally, this results in the game being rather difficult for friends and random companions alike.

Aim for the next checkpoint as you make your way through the different obstacles to clear the course and reach the very end.

Gameplay mechanics

• Two-player cooperative platformer: The game requires two players to work together and clear an obstacle course. You can start a game by interacting with the pods in the lobby, where the first player to join is always the Steerer. The Driver’s position is locked by default unless a Steerer is already present in the connecting pod. Once both players have entered the pods, the game will begin, placing you on the map in your respective roles.
• Clearing the obstacle course: The key to victory in the obstacle course is to move slowly and deliberately. This is particularly true for the Driver, whose acceleration or deceleration timings dictate the team’s movement through the course. You can make the course significantly easier if you have the means to communicate with the other player. Consider getting on a call if you’re playing with a friend to maximize control over the vehicle and avoid veering into the abyss.
• Checkpoints: Checkpoints are scattered across the game world, punctuating the different progress stages. Upon death, you will be sent back to the previous checkpoint, acting as a safety net and preventing you from starting over after an unfortunate death. There are three main Checkpoints that separate the different maps: Grassy Adventure, Snowy Hills, and Sandy Shores. Once you reach these Checkpoints, you will be able to teleport directly to them from the hub.
• Cars and Crates: You can unlock new cars and vehicle types through Crates. Crates can be opened using Coins, the game’s main currency, or Robux. The further along you make it in the obstacle course, the more Coins you will be able to collect. Obtain as many as you can to unlock new cars and see which suits you the most.
• Premium features: The game offers various gamepasses to purchase, along with Coin Packs. Gamepasses offer QoL features like increased car speed or higher Coin yield, making them rather valuable. Note that these features can only be obtained using Robux.
