About the Game

Deliver or die.

You are a delivery driver in a city that wants you dead. Your health drains every second. The only way to stay alive is to keep making deliveries, earning money, and spending it at the taco stand before your health hits zero. It sounds simple. It is not simple.

THE LOOP

• Drive to the delivery target and collect your payout.

• Rush to the taco stand and spend your earnings to restore health.

• Repeat until a skull van catches you, the hearse corners you near the taco stand, or your health finally runs out.

THE THREATS

The Chaser is a skull-van that hunts you across the city. Get caught and it steals your money. No money means no tacos. No tacos means death. Every 5 deliveries it gets faster.

The Hearse patrols the taco stand. It is slow but patient. It will wait. Getting a taco is never as safe as you think.

POWER-UPS

• Burrito - Restores health on pickup. Grab it when you see it.

• Taco Salad - Grants a one-use shield that blocks the next steal attempt. The chaser still teleports away, which you can use to your advantage.

FEATURES

• Top-down pixel art city with procedurally generated layouts

• Escalating difficulty tied to your delivery count, not a timer

• Three difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, and Hard

• Local high score tracking per difficulty

• Off-screen indicators so you always know where to go

• Chiptune soundtrack

One more thing: the taco stand is always open. Whether you can reach it in time is another matter.
