How it feels

A high-skill arcade car-combat game where tight controls and permadeath demand focused, twitchy driving and shooting against procedurally generated enemies.

What players say

Players describe a brutally difficult top-down car combat game that rewards persistence. The developer added an easy mode and improved controls with a drifting mechanic. A few complain it feels like a generic retro shooter, while others call it a faithful arcade throwback.
