Description

Your goal in this top-down shooter is to escort your buggy along the desert road, to the side of which a raiders’ camp is set.

Buggy’s fuel is depleted, so you need to replenish it by small portions that you can find on the map. But be swift, as the raiders won’t give you much time for search!

Features

• Core mechanic - you need to escort a vehicle to certain point, leaving it to find fuel to progress further. The buggy is attacked periodically.
• 2 different weapons for player that can be changed in the battle to use the circumstances to your advantage:
  1. Laser auto-rifle - fast rate of fire, easy to hit, low DMG
  2. Plasma - 1 projctile, slow rate of fire, hard to hit, oneshot
• 2 types of enemies with strategically different, albeit rather plain behaviours.
• Vehicle shield mechanic
• Desert map with an old, broken road
• Bluesy soundtrack!
