About the Game

This is an 80s inspired car based action roguelike where your cars engine is directly influencing your weapons. Driving skill meets engine building this this unique fusion of genres and mechanics.

Drift across a vaporwave beach and speed across a synthwave simulation as you fight off waves of enemies, gather upgrades, and build your car into a weapon. Your weapons are tied to your engine, so the more ridiculous of an engine you build, the more ridiculous your fighting and driving style will be.

Horsepower increases damage

Torque improves bullet penetration and explosion sizes

RPM affects rate of fire

Vehicle speed affects projectile speed

Your current gear gives you a multishot bonus.

You are not just building a list of upgrades, but an engine fights differently. 

The game is built around fast paced driving, roguelike upgrade choices, and over the top engine combinations. You could create a high revving monster that sprays bullets, a muscle car build that rams through enemies, or a strange experimental engine that changes the entire feel of your run.

Pick one of three different camera angles. With the press of a button, you can cycle between birds eye view, third person, and first person. A first for this genre.
