Each controller is a monowheel motorized rocket. You have freedom to race and perform freestyle jumps and maneuvers in VR using the physics principle of sports like snowboard, skate and motocross. There is also a Multiplayer Soccer Arena totally physics-based where players can score awesome goals.
Open World Map
Throttle Powah is in early stages of development but has a big open world map with lot's of tracks, ramps, soccer arena and crazy circuits.
It will be better, most 3D models and Texture are still placeholder or work in progress.
Multiplayer
Connect to 3 different servers: North America, Europe and South America. Play together, chase, release smoke in their face, race online and score your time on online leaderboards.
Concept
There are almost no VR racing games out there that makes use of the controller to transform the player into the vehicle, so Throttle Powah was born to fulfill it's destiny by presenting what can be done with VR technology.
Platform
Throttle Powah is currently working on HTC Vive and Oculus.
Hardcore
It's also directed to experienced VR players and can cause motion sickness (especially while using grip buttons to perform freestyle maneuvers).
Bugs and Glitches
- Wheels will sometimes visually flick, it's a known bug, but nothing really serious.
Tips
- Stand Up, it's time to immerse yourself.
- Turn your body to where you want to go, try to forget the headset cable.
- Time your boosts, the moment will come when you'll miss having more, trust me.

This is an extremely fun and very unique game!
I saw it while browsing some VR titles and was hooked. It looked so fun to play. The races seemed cool and the stunts I saw in the trailer were amazing! I figured its only 5 bucks and I've almost got that much value watching the trailer 3 times back to back. So happy I grabbed it! Racing around was a blast just zooming around these crazy hot wheels like tracks trying to balance going as fast as I can without launching my self off one of the turns! The stunts took me a few minutes to kinda figure out how to time the spin grip button but once I did I was having the time of my life!! I spent the next good chunk of time spinning and barrel rolling all over those snowy mountains having a blast! I ended my session tonight by jumping into the online servers and did a race. I saw after that I have #9 in one of the race leaderboards on the steam page. So if any of you guys that used to play happen to see this just know that its time to come back and defend those titles or I'm going to slowly climb to the top of all of them!! See you guys in there hopefully!!
Also for what its worth the soundtrack is SO GOOD! "The Spin Wires" get a good spotlight in this game and for good reason! I love the tracks "Aren't You Worried" (from the trailer) and "Girls Like You"!! The "I Love It" cover is fun too lol. I've already added them to my Spotify playlists!!
The game is original, and made me clench my butt more than a few times, its fast, easy to get the hang of, and has great performance.
I really liked the method to move around, it "feels natural"? like the physics are very well done, i loved exploring the racetracks and just following it to see where it took me...
But other than a big racetrack, and a rocket league arena, there is nothing to do...
I get the game is a multiplayer racing game but... there are no other players, it could be turned into a single player exploration game, give me random, go there, grab that, bring it over here, add upgrades to the boost or whatever and id love it.
Right now its an empty desolate land, but great agile movement the map while empty really was worth "exploring" as in doing the full lap... its really big and challenging at parts. The races would be great if i could find other people to race.
Im recommending this because i got it on sale like 90% off iirc, and i consider that that price was too low. But at the same time the full price feels too high.
early access - not finished and it`s dead by now.

Game description key-points: moto-hands or hands on wheels
Overview: totally missed expectations.
it is not explained what where and how
First camera does not align with the wheels to provide a frame or core ...
turning is a mess
multiple times player felt down the canion, nothing to there and no way to get out... that`s a joke.
The controls take a little to get used to. But once you got it they work great. It´s a very innovative and unique locomotion method and i had much fun exploring the world an pulling off some cool stunts. If you want more speed and action in VR support this innovative idea!
Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
I actually got this game on sale for $2.99 USD and thought that was a great deal in the Steam Summer Sale 2018. Little did I know this game's price would go even further down to .89 cents in the Steam 2018 Winter sale. Well, I finally got around to playing it and yes, this is an easy recommend at .89 cents. I'm not sure there is a better paid game lower than this pricetag.
I would call this an open world racing game with very few actual goals, other than having fun and trying to get good timed scores on the tracks that do show up every so often. You basically have motorcyle hands that thrust you forward and then you get 5 boosts to propel you even faster or jet you into the sky. You get more boosts by keeping your hands on the road. You can even perform some tricks in the air by mastering or at least cajoling the pressing of the grab button, although I personally found it finnicky at best. Either that or it takes a truly skilled master to consistently do a trick.
You have a huge game map to explore and discover. This game is definiteiy the older spiritual brother of the great game, Jet Island, but nowhere near as polished or as fun. However, for .89 cents you're getting a pretty nifty game at a very discounted price. I had fun, but you should also know this game is limited by its design.
Sometimes it feels like there's nothing to do. Other times, you feel like an absolute rockstar for finding a way to jump from one course to the next seemlessly and flawlessly. Courses go sideways, up, down, with huge gaping holes in between, that you'll have to figure out how to navigate. There's even this rocket league inspired game in the middle of the map that you can play online with others ... if you can get it to work and if you can find anybody else online. Yup, you guessed it, there really isn't anybody online so your best bet is to have a friend who owns this game too.
Sale Price Rating 7/10.
I wanted to like this game. and it has good promise, but there is a huge lack of anything to do. I got bored after less than 5 minutes. now that jet island is out, no need to play this game.
I can't not speak highly enough for the originality and the promise of this game and the immediate fun of it. There is alot of unfinished garbage seemingly thrown together in VR to make a quick buck. This ain't one of those games. Give it 15 minutes and you'll immediately see what I mean.
The first time I booted it up, I had a smile on my face for a good 10 minutes. The overworld is huge and fun to explore. Just that alone is worth the current asking price.
The recent update makes the overworld huge and even more fun to explore.
Also, if you have a friend or two with VR or can form a group online, that's where the real fun begins. It's just a great relaxing game. All it needs is a bit more structure.
The mechanics are brilliant and very, very well executed. Give it a chance. You'll likely be very surprised.
Things I've love to see:
1. A trick mode that starts a timer and you can see who can get the most collective air time in a certain amount of time.
2. An "elimination" mode, especially if they could add some power ups like Twisted Metal or Mario Kart.
3. A button/menu option to automatically teleport to the start of the current race.
Overall, though this is an excellent start.
If you're more experienced in VR and not so easily impressed, this will bore you within minutes. At no point did I feel like there was any sense of weight to what I was doing... the physics just felt off. I've played a LOT of VR games and even make my own with Modbox, and this was surprisingly lame. This should be a 99 cent app, not $10 or even worth the $3 sale price I paid. Lack of any major update to a paid EA game, so take that into account as well... this is probably all there will be. They shouldn't have released it so unfinished like this. Refunded.
Edit: The very next day there was a large update, however it seems to only address the amount of content and nothing about the game feel. I don't feel connected to the ground... I don't feel like both wheels truly control you... I feel like I weigh 10 lbs instead of 400 lbs like a human being strapped to giant wheelie arms would! You can add more levels, content, or waste time playing with ball physics, or you could spend more time making the underlying game more satisfying to play!! Right now I feel like I'm playing a budget title on Google Cardboard.
So far I've seen two of the biggest mistakes you can make on EA:
1) releasing a very unfinished product, charging for it, then making people wait months for any real news or progress.
2) focusing on content first, and gameplay and game feel second. That's ass backwards, and any good game developer knows it.
Throttle Powah lets you control two wheels with your motion controllers which is a nice concept. It's refreshing and a lot of fun when you try it for the first time.
Anyway there is only one quite small open world map with different circuts. Not a lot of replay value after half an hour of exploring the map...
The game also looks and feels very unpolished in it's current state and since it was released about two months ago there were no huge updates or anything that would have been mentionable.
It's just not worth the current price tag of 9,99€ if you'd ask me.
I recommend to wait for a sale of at least -50% or wait if there going to be some huge updates because for me this feels like one of the many EA games that will never be completed...
Although content wise it currently may be a little weak, I really enjoyed this game. It is a lot of fun being able to hop on the various tracks and speed your way through the environment! The half pipes and ability to do "tricks" is also quite fun once you get the hang of it. Definitely worth the $10 price tag and once more content is added it will make the purchase that much more worthwhile!
I had low expectations for this game, given it's somewhat dull graphical style, but holy cow, it's insane fun. I didn't even play multiplayer, just was zooming around. Fantastic mechanics, highly recommend this.
As far as the idea is cool and I like it a lot, I was unable to find a single playa for this game to race with... I'd like to recommend, but for now - no.
7.7 out of 10
Wow what a ride, love it. Totally original and just works great in VR. As of now it's just a big sandbox stunt park with lot bits to explore, ripping around the place around is really intuitive the controls are easy and responsive. Kids will love this. Ran for 20 mintues and had a little motion sickness, but that's me and this type of locomotion, not the game the FPS is a solid 90.
Even at this early stage it's a lot of fun and well worth the asking price. A fantastic example of "could only work in VR"
This is the kind of thing I like to experience in VR. The gameplay is inovative and works very well.
Played about 1h at first try: fooling around in the environment and in the soccer field, then did a few races.
Hope this will be well polished, because the potential is huge.
First time on, 1.2 hours. Original concept that works. , great feeling of speed, lift, and traction. I'll probably dream about it.
If you were a fan of any skateboarding games such as the early Tony Hawk Franchise or SKATE then this is the game for you. It's so much fun flying around and doing crazzy air tricks. You will fail more often than you succeed but when you land them you feel lika a fucking god. For the moment there is no voice chat in-game but this is the official Discord https://discord.gg/BY6UjK. The dev said the in-game voice chat should arrive pretty quick but the discord is still great for finding people and the Dev himself to just go online and play with everyone. The game is great in single player but it shines in multiplayer.
I highly recomend this game to any one who enjoys racing games, freestyling, or crazy movment in vr. This game gives you true freedom of movment in VR. I am surprised I didnt get sick playing this game. I get motion sick easy, but this game handles that very well. The only thing that i get a little sick from is the freestyle. But thats easy to avoid. I get so addectid to getting the best times in the races. And it seems like the developer is very active with updates.
Great game. Love the locomotion. I don't get sick, but this was very smooth and I felt in control.
Air boosts are sick. Can't wait for more maps and content.
Please add voice chat too, only could wave at people, would be fun to talk to them.
Pretty original game. While driving through the green hilly terrain I suddenly remembered the stunt quarry from Motocross Madness. Even if you have a strong stomach for motion, be wary of the grip which I thought was the "fall down and roll around" button but after watching the video more closely it's for doing tricks. I haven't tried out the soccer multiplayer yet, but it's the closest thing I've seen to rocket league vr.
I made it through most of the terrain in the map, but I've still got a ways to go before I have the controls mastered so that will keep it fun for a while.
edit: after a long time, this got an update! Feels even more like Motorcross Madness now that is has some courses to race through. Jet Moto is another good comparison, especially when spiralling up a ramp that's circling a 200 foot tall animal horn sticking out of the ground. I'm not optimistic about ever playing multiplayer but has some pretty good tracks to cruise along, and not too many blind drops that send you flying off the track.
