If you’ve been playing #DRIVE Rally and have a minute, leaving a Steam review would mean a lot to us.
So far, only a small fraction of players have shared their thoughts (less than 3%). On Steam, reviews are one of the main ways a game like ours gets discovered and reaches new players - they really help with visibility, especially for a small indie team like ours.
It doesn’t have to be long or fancy. A few words about your experience are more than enough, and they help us just as much as they help the game.
Thanks for playing, supporting, and sticking with us. We seriously appreciate it! Pixel Perfect Dude Dev Team
