You are the villain, while you think you're racing around space you're actually running over innocent people.

While the driver believes himself to be in a fantasy game world he is in fact going on a carmagedeon style rampage running over innocent cartoon-like civilians.\r\rWhen hitting the stop sign icons the player catches glimpses of reality.\r\rOn game over the player finally is jettisoned out of his vehicle to his own death."},{"author_name":"iiAtlas","author_uid":"18452","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 3:31am","epoch":1355801160,"text":"Spent the first few minutes trying to work out how to shoot because of the crosshair in the middle, had it not been for your spiffy unity web page player work I would've been stuck all day!
