About Chained Wheels
Chained Wheels is an online co‑op driving adventure where two players each control a car that is permanently chained together. The duo must survive a series of harsh off‑road biomes, relying on teamwork and precise coordination.
Mistakes affect both drivers, and each biome’s weather can change vehicle behavior. The game mixes driving with physics‑based puzzles, requiring players to use the chain creatively to navigate obstacles and reach safety.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Gameplay
Two players control two cars that are permanently chained together, meaning any mistake by one player impacts both. The core challenge is to coordinate movements and timing to keep both vehicles intact. The game is designed for online co‑op, with shared or split‑screen options, emphasizing mutual reliance throughout each level.
- Communicate constantly about upcoming turns or obstacles.
- Practice synchronizing acceleration and braking to maintain chain tension.

Biomes and Weather
Each level presents a distinct off‑road biome, designed to test teamwork and driving skill. Weather conditions can shift, altering how the vehicles handle and requiring quick adaptation. These environmental changes force players to adjust their approach, as the same route may behave differently under new weather effects.
- Observe how changing weather affects traction before committing to a maneuver.
- Adjust your driving style when the biome’s weather changes suddenly.

Physics‑Based Puzzles
Beyond simple driving, each area contains obstacles and physics puzzles that test coordination and timing. Players must use the chain itself as a tool to navigate these challenges. Success often depends on timing the chain’s tension and release to pull both cars through tight spaces without damage.
- Experiment with slack in the chain to find the optimal pull strength.
- Watch how the chain reacts to obstacles before committing to a path.

Controller Support
Chained Wheels includes DualShock and DualSense controller support, as well as partial controller support and Steam Input API support. This allows players to use compatible controllers for the co‑op experience. The game also supports split‑screen play, giving flexibility in how two players share a single system.
- Try both DualShock and DualSense controllers to see which feels more comfortable.
- Check the Steam Input settings if you encounter any mapping issues.

Steam Features
The title integrates Steam achievements, trading cards, leaderboards, and family sharing. These features add competitive and social layers without affecting core gameplay. Players can compare their performance on leaderboards and collect achievements that reflect mastery of the co‑op challenges.
- Aim for leaderboards to gauge how efficiently you complete biomes.
- Collect trading cards for a sense of progression outside the game.
