The Path of the Sloth
Slowdrive is a game about long way home, but actually it's about your driving skills. The sleepy sloth left his home because of a butterfly effect (literally) and now he wants to return. Road home is divided into very short (from a few seconds long) but tricky stages. To complete this hard path you have to hone your driving skills and learn every track.
Most tracks have multiple routes (remember: the shortest is not always the fastest) and some even contains moving platforms. Physics model is not quite arcade so watch your speed!
Game has some visual car customization, but there are no performance upgrades - only your skills can improve the results.
Features
- 60 short but challenging levels
- Unlockable visual car customization
- Hidden collectible on every level
- Ghost of your best result
- Top-10 best results with ghosts for each level
- Cute sloth
- Controller support

Very goodf
Brilliant Game! Couldn't spend a better 5 bucks. If you're a Track Mania fan, you'll be able to jump right in on this one. Creative "puzzle" type game play, with multiple routes to take for each race. It's up to you to find the fastest line. Soft and fun graphics, runs very smooth with a keyboard, didn't try a controller.
Quite cool game if you want to try and speedrun driving. Unfortunately it is not very optimised at higher resolutions.
Trying to get the three stars through trying to get the best racing lines, keeping the wheels planted and figuring out the best route makes this game a fun challenge.
A nice visual style to.
Hell yea! It's not a game for 100s of hours (although, who knows), but it's great fun!
I picked it up for 1.5 or something on sale. It's worth more than that, maybe even the full price.
I am having a blast with it, challenging myself, trying to get high in the ranks.
Not much explaining is needed I guess. The store video's speak for themselves. Don't expect more than what you see there. You could call it a 3D precision platformer even. Don't let the title fool you, this is not an easy game (although, if you have enough LFS experience, you should do fine).
Fiendishly difficult to get the 3 stars on some levels, nice relaxing music and a Stunt Race FX kind of vibe. Nice!
I really like it!! It reminds me of the first Trackmania, when the series had shorter levels that we're more about "solving" levels (finding the optimal route, that often involved finding shortcuts) than just going super fast and doing crazy stunts.
"Solving" the tracks was what I loved about the first Trackmania, and Slowdrive really brings back this feeling.
Another great thing is that a lot of the tracks are split in 3 sections, that you each race separately, before racing them one final time, all connected into a longer track. What's great about this is that combining the three tracks together presents them in a new way, the shortcuts you found on the short tracks might not be optimal for the longer track, so you revisit tracks you've already completed, but you need to race them differently.
It took me about 15 hours to get all the medals (also taking time to climb up the ranks! I'm currently 7th in the overall leaderboard). Some of the medals are pretty challenging to get, but they're all doable! All of the tracks are pretty small, most taking between 10 and 50 seconds to complete.
One great thing is that, not only there is a leaderboard for each track, but there is also a global leaderboard for all the tracks combined! And the leaderboards are accessible directly on Steam. It's the first game I see that uses Steam's leaderboard feature.
I see some people complain about the physics, but honestly I think they're great, I haven't had any problems with it. I think people simply need to learn that if you do a jump with a car, it's not a good idea to land with your wheels already turned to the side and the gas pedal all the way down because of course you will lose control, but that's not a bug, it's just how cars work.
I found two small bugs, but nothing game breaking. The acceleration at the start of a level isn't always constant if you wait at the start of a level before pressing the gas pedal, but simply hitting the gas before hitting the retry button fixes it, so it's not really a problem (but it would still be nice if it was fixed though). Also, you can customize your car, but for some reason the decal pattern you select doesn't get saved when you quit the game.
Other than those small glitches, I'm having a blast! I highly recommend it if you miss the smaller, more puzzlely tracks from the first Trackmania!
Sweet and challenging game, where there are no car upgrades, just your driving skill against a time limit on small circuits or bits of circuits, can be played in short sessions
A vibrantly minimal cel-shaded arcade racer where the only power-up is your determination and the road ahead is an obstacle course. The car handles like a go-kart on pavement but all bets are off once the terrain gets bumpy.
3 / 3 stars
I have barely played this game (so far), and within 20 minutes of gameplay, I can already say with full confidence that this is truly an amazing indie game. The graphics are beautiful, the music in the background is calming, the mechanics of the game in general (the way in which the vehicles operate) is just amazing. While this can be perceived as slightly repetive, since you need to complete levels to move onto the next level, don't be discouraged!! Due to how fun the game mechanic is, and how beautiful the graphics are, you'll forget that you're repeating levels over and over again. TL;DR: This is a great little indie game well worth the money. It is fun, cute, and might give you a slight adrenaline rush.
Slowpoke Trackmania with primitivistic nintendish artstyle. If you like racing the same track hundred times in a row trying to cut that split second off, then hooray! Now you can spend even more time doing that. Physic model is unrealistic with drifting that has no relation to under 50 km/h speed in real life. Also game crashes literally every time you try to close it.
You know the drill; you see an inexpensive Steam game that might be a bit of fun for a few hours. Launch it, start to play….and next thing you know you’re FORCING yourself to quit because you suddenly realize how late it is and how much your fingers are starting to hurt. Wait, that’s NOT part of the “drill”! But it just may be SLOWDRIVE. (Certainly was for me!)
Slowdrive is an exceptional game, (as the current 100% rating confirms) and at an exceptionally affordable price The premise is a rather contrived one, but well in keeping with the amusing concept of a slot driving to find a new tree branch to hang from. Were Slowdrive simply a driving game it would be enough, but it isn’t just a driving game. While driving, players may choose to follow the marked roadway, or may take obvious (and even HIDDEN) shortcuts, or a combination of both. On many levels the roadway may be enough for a one-star completion, but discovering unmarked jumps or off-road areas may be necessary for a better score. Each level offers one, two or three stars based on successful completion, and stars collected unlock new areas.
Despite owning dozens of Steam driving and racing games, AAA and indie, never have I seen a game where the winning (or losing) time may so often need to be measured in 1,000ths of a second. Literally, the difference between success or failure in Slowdrive can occur in less time than is required to blink.
But while Slowdrive IS certainly a driving game, it’s also often a “launch the car like a rock” game, and a “fly through the air precisely” game, and a “ride a frictionless platform” game, and a “drive on two wheels” game, and a “try not to be crushed by huge blocks” game, and a “drifting extraordinaire” game. If it can be done in, around, to or about a vehicle, Slowdrive likely includes it. And having done all that, you can also choose to do it from a driver POV, as well as find hidden leafs(sic) on EVERY level to be able to change the color of any one of five cars. (Cars are unlocked by completing areas, but all cars perform identically.) Slowdrive accepts controllers, and apparently even wheel controllers, which is remarkable for such a small game.
In choosing to play Slowdrive, you have chosen to play a driving game, a platformer, an amazing physics-based game, and so much more. While it can reach some very difficult levels, there is always enough material available to provide numerous, and varied choices. No driving game I know of offers as much variety and entertainment as does Slowdrive.
Thank you.
As with most Steam games, offline time in Slowdrive is not tracked.
Cheap and colourful game where you as a cute sloth in shirt drive a very slow car. This may sound relaxing, but it's not. It's difficulty is straight out of hell. Looks can be deceiving, I guess.
If you decide to give it a go - be ready to drive the same 30 seconds tracks over and over again until you perfected every corner and stunt, or be unable to unlock anything and progress anywhere. This game is for patient sloths.
Also first person view included for maximum immersion (and even higher difficulty).
A fun twist on the classic time trial format, deceptively simple but plenty of challenge involved in unlocking everything. Will be sad when it's all finished!
A fun little time-trial game, where you try to reach the end of a short obstacle course as a sloth driving a sedan. The car has a lot of momentum, so getting the right line and adjusting your brake and throttle to make turns and climb hills can be quite challenging.
Love this game! Reminds me of Mario Kart time trials on the Game Cube. Trying to strive for the extra 10th of a second! My only wish would be being able to configure the keys.
Fun game where you try to reach the finish line as fast as possible with challenging levels. The levels are short which makes it fun to keep trying again for that 3 star time and not frustrating. Some levels have clever routes you have to find to get fast enough time for all 3 stars.
All 60 levels have a hidden leaf you can collect somewhere, these unlock paints and achievements. Also on top of the three stars you can collect for each level, there is also "golden wheel" which is the ultimate goal for getting all three stars while using a cockpit view.
Also bonus points for the game because it has a bosozoku C210.
Fantastic time trial arcade racing game with plently of challenging yet short levels. There's a ton of replayability when it comes to topping your own time on a specific track, and i've found myself spending upwards of an hour just to perfect my time to get onto the leaderboard. I'm 6 hours in without even finishing all the levels.
This game strikes a perfect balance between fun and innocent / frustrating and competitive.
I haven't played much, but I really like what I've played. The art style is simple yet oddly satisfying and the driving physics have depth.
It's like... your car controls like shit, but you know you can make it do magic. It's so satisfying when you pull off a sweet drift and blaze across the finish line. You'll feel like Vin Diesel in a sports car. But you're just fucking a sloth. Brilliant
It's another indie puzzle game with minimalist graphics but this time, you take control of a car which I think is very nice. The puzzles and unlockable are fitting for a driving puzzle game but that's all it really is. The later puzzles get really tough and it does get repetitive after a while but the game are aidded with the Steam achievements to help you complete the game.
If you, like the protagonist and like myself, have ever been a sloth who's trying to find their way home after being lost due to manifestations of chaos theory - then you should play Slowdrive.
However, don't let the awesome aesthetics and pleasant music fool you. This is a racing game. I have little experience with those and I'm struggling with every level.
Fun and challenging, it's worth a try even for the uninitiated, and my guess is that pros would enjoy it too.
