"Drive with Eye Control: Open Drive Launches Early Access on Android"

Open Drive, a groundbreaking racing game for mobile devices, has officially launched in early access on Android. Developed by the charity organization SpecialEffect in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, this game is a testament to inclusive gaming, designed to be accessible to players with physical disabilities.

What’s the Game About?

Open Drive is engineered to be adaptable, allowing players to engage with the game using a variety of input methods including touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, or a controller. This inclusivity extends to players who use alternative input methods like eye gaze, making it possible for them to enjoy the open-world driving experience on mobile. The innovative mobile-specific eye control feature enables steering by simply looking left or right, a significant advancement in accessibility for players who face challenges with traditional input methods.

The game spans four distinct open worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow, ensuring a diverse and engaging gameplay experience. Players can choose to leisurely drive and collect orbs or pursue high scores by performing daring jumps with vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster. The gameplay's flexibility allows players to adjust the speed to their preference, catering to both casual and competitive gamers.

Open Drive Is Now Out in Early Access

Currently available in early access on Android, Open Drive automatically detects and adjusts to the player's preferred control method. It fully supports Switch Access on Android, with tailored setups for touch controls, including 'Precise' and 'Classic' modes for steering. Similar customizations are available for Switch Access, mouse, keyboard, and Android-compatible gamepad/controllers.

While the eye control functionality is not yet fully implemented, players can anticipate its inclusion in the full version, set to release later this summer. For now, you can explore Open Drive on the Google Play Store.
