A race route can change while you’re driving it in Acceleration City. This 3D driving game combines racing, stunt challenges, and open-world exploration with a programmable robotic companion called CoBot. Players choose a vehicle and travel through a city containing roads, ramps, elevated platforms, and hidden collectibles. Instead of relying only on driving skills, they can use their robot to create new routes and reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Racing and Exploring the City

Acceleration City offers two main activities: completing races and exploring the environment. Racing challenges involve navigating tracks with turns, jumps, obstacles, and checkpoints. Players must control their speed and choose suitable routes to reach the finish line. Free exploration allows them to drive around the city without following a specific track. Different locations contain collectible creatures called Minanimals, some of which are hidden on rooftops or behind obstacles.

How the CoBot System Works

Each vehicle comes equipped with a CoBot that can perform programmed actions. Players can assign commands to keyboard buttons or connect actions to colored trigger zones on racing tracks. The robot responds by creating objects that help the vehicle overcome obstacles or perform stunts.

Available gameplay features include:

•         Cars and other vehicles with different handling characteristics.
•         Ramps that help vehicles reach elevated areas.
•         Platforms for crossing gaps and reaching new locations.
•         Boost pads that increase vehicle speed.
•         Programmable CoBot actions activated during driving.
•         Hidden Minanimals scattered throughout the environment.

Players can experiment with different command combinations. For example, placing a ramp before a gap allows the vehicle to jump across it, while a boost pad can provide additional speed before an obstacle.

Controls and Game Progression

Players use WASD or the arrow keys to drive, accelerate, brake, and steer. The CoBot’s programmed actions can be activated through assigned controls. Successful driving requires controlling speed, preparing for jumps, and using the robot at suitable moments.

Acceleration City does not follow a traditional story campaign with mandatory chapters. Progress comes from completing races, finding collectibles, and exploring new sections of the city. Players can return to previous locations, experiment with different vehicles, and modify their CoBot commands to discover alternative solutions to driving challenges.
