In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the gear-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as travelling mechanics. Players challenge the Master Mechanics who rule the island to prove their crew is worthy of joining the mechanics guild.

The aim of the game is to fix as many cars (or trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs, UFOs...) as possible before time runs out. This may sound easy, but the faster the mechanics work, the more chaos is unleashed. Intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.

No two games are the same as you manage this vehicle-based chaos through 25 unique garage levels, each one more challenging than the last. Completing a garage is one thing, but mastering it and beating your team's best score requires coordination, skill and determination.

With five different neighborhoods on Octane Isle to experience, this won’t be an easy ride. So, grab your toolbelt, round up your friends and see if you have what it takes to become Master Mechanics.

Building on community feedback from the Nintendo Switch release, 4J Studios has added a host of new features and content to this laugh-out-loud party game – most notably the incorporation of a ‘Versus’ mode to complement the local and online co-op gameplay. In addition to this (potentially friendship-ending) competitive mode, the all-formats release also includes a whole-new neighbourhood, new characters and entertaining twists to some of the most popular levels.

"When Manic Mechanics first arrived on Switch, we were mostly asked two questions… ‘Is it going to be on other platforms?’ and ‘Can you add a competitive mode?’ I’m delighted that I can now answer ‘Yes!’ to both," says 4J Studios' Chairman, Chris van der Kuyl. "The new features the team have added have made an amazing game even better and I’m delighted that it will now be available to the widest possible audience."

Manic Mechanics will be available on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and Steam from March 7, 2024. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch version will be enhanced with new game modes and extra content that same day, with existing players receiving a free update.

Currently available for Nintendo Switch, Manic Mechanics is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on March 7, 2024.
