Priced at £4.19, this inventive release from Sweet Bread Games blends 3D platforming with kart-style momentum, placing players in the wheels of Carl; a guy who, in his wildest dreams, isn’t just driving a car… he is one.

A Platformer With Pedals
At its core, I Wanna Be Car is about movement. Rather than traditional jump buttons and acrobatic controls, the entire experience is built around just two actions: accelerate and brake/reverse.
That simplicity hides surprising depth.
By combining acceleration and braking at the right time, players can charge up a boost. Release it at the perfect moment and Carl launches across ramps, gaps, and soaring structures with exhilarating speed. It’s a control scheme that feels unusual at first, but quickly becomes rewarding as you learn to manage momentum.
Across ten dreamlike levels, Carl imagines himself racing through cities, navigating floating platforms, and even exploring space stations.
A Lite Collectathon With Energy
Each stage offers more than just a finish line. Players are encouraged to bump into traffic cones, grab sodas, and collect timed stars scattered throughout the course. Completing levels efficiently is one goal, but collecting everything is another challenge entirely.
The design leans into accessibility, making it approachable for players of all ages and skill levels. Yet those chasing full completion will find reasons to replay levels and refine their boost timing.
Visually, the game combines low-poly 3D aesthetics with modern lighting and shading, creating vibrant environments that suit its upbeat soundtrack and playful tone.
Separate Versions And A Bundle Option
I Wanna Be Car is available in three separate versions – one for Xbox Series X|S, one for Xbox One, and one for Windows PC.
For players looking to maximise their gamerscore, each version features its own separate achievement list.
There’s also a bundle option available for £19.99, pairing I Wanna Be Car with Dark Dungeon Mind Mess. The bundle includes six games in all – three versions of each game – offering distinct adventures and separate Gamerscore opportunities across the package.
A Joyful, Speed-Focused Dream
Now available across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC, I Wanna Be Car delivers a quirky twist on platforming that swaps traditional jumping mechanics for vehicular momentum.
It’s lighthearted, colourful, and refreshingly different. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best ideas start with the simplest question. What if you really could be the car?
