In 2014, one of the developers Pavel Zagrebelny alleged that Oovee took the money and cut off communication, which left him unable to update it. A few days following its release, Spintires briefly became the top-selling video game on the Steam platform, and a month after it still retained a position in the Steam Top 10, selling over 100,000 copies. The game initially raised $82,684 on Kickstarter in 2013. The game's camera is positioned outside the vehicle and can be moved around using the mouse there is no in-car view. In hardcore mode, fuel consumption is increased and routes the player charts on the map won't be displayed as a guide on the road as they drive. Players can choose between casual and hardcore mode. Due to the challenging terrain, players must take all conditions into consideration and drive accordingly for example, they cannot simply just press 'forward' on their keyboard to drive straight.

The game takes into account several properties such as physics, mud, terrain deformation, as well as driving controls and a day/night cycle. There is both a single-player and multiplayer mode. The aim of the game is to transport cargo to its destination without depleting resources (such as fuel) or damaging the vehicle. Spintires is an all-terrain simulation video game which tasks driving through muddy unpaved Russian roads in aging Soviet vehicles with nothing but a map and a compass.
