What is Driving Is Hard?

This single-player driving platformer has you steer Jeff's wheeled bathtub over steep terrain across seven worlds. Falls can cost you progress, and you can choose Easy or Hard mode. Jeff's story centers on his self-doubt and his father's expectations.

For you if...

  • +you like physics-based driving that rewards precise control
  • +you enjoy searching difficult courses for collectible soaps

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike losing progress when you fall
  • −you want cooperative driving rather than a solo challenge

What players say

82% of 264 reviews are positive

Players praise the driving challenge, but many describe it as frustrating and patience-testing. Some say Easy mode is still difficult.
