Pocket Wheels @ Gamescom 2025... time for a demo update! 🆕

Pocket Wheels @ Gamescom 2025


I'm incredibly happy to announce that Pocket Wheels is part of this year's Indie Arena Booth Gamescom lineup 🎉

From August 20 to 24, I will be at the Deck13 Spotlight Indie Arena Booth in Hall 10.2.
If you are planning on being there, I would love to chat!

For this occasion, the demo's content has been doubled...


To make the game more accessible for first-time players, I've added a quick and fun tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanics in an intuitive way!

Once you've mastered this new section, you're teleported to a small hub world.
From there, you can either choose to play the previously available level or venture into an entirely new adventure. This new level is packed with thrilling races and quests set among wooden floors and lush greenery. There's even a tree house! (trying very hard not to spoil all the fun exploration here)

You can play this demo here on Steam and on the show floor at Gamescom. The show in Cologne will also be the first time you can try out a Nintendo Switch version!

...and there's been a MASSIVE boost to our sound design 🚀


Thanks to the efforts of our friends at BowsToHymns, the game feels much more alive, and it's so satisfying to play! They poured their hearts into the sound design, making sure that every vehicle is fun to drive and that each pickup feels rewarding.

You'll notice many improvements as soon as you start playing, so pay close attention to their amazing work!

Have fun playing & talk to you soon!


As always, please let me know what you think of the changes! I'm looking forward to meeting you at Gamescom or hearing your thoughts on Pocket Wheels' Discord server 💛

(A small disclaimer: You might run into an issue if you've played the demo before, which results in an endless loading loop at the beginning. To resolve this, please delete the "Pocket Wheels" folder in "AppData/\LocalLow/\Florian Wolf", and you should be good to go!)

Our friends from Wobble Ghost have just released their first game and we've played it on the last convention we visited some time ago. And if you are looking for an oldschool (and yet somehow modern) interpretation of the Zelda-Formula (especially the Phantom Hourglass one), you really should take a look at this one. It shares the same idea as Pocket Wheels basically. Bringi…Community13 Mar 2025Publisher Reveal & Epic New Trailer 🎥Pocket Wheels x Deck13 Spotlight Big news everyone!
