Deliver the unstable explosive material without blowing up

Your risk of exploding is represented by the dangerometer. The dangerometer is temporarily increased by collisions and shocks, and permanently increased by damage to your vehicle.

Thanks to Zughy for help/advice with art.

Inspired by an episode of the Mandalorian.

Pew pew! Driving with guns is always fun, but boy was that blockade a pain.
The bullet range seemed a bit small, and the indicators blend into the road.
Great driving mechanics, though.

* Pros: Finish first try
* Cons: Say they finish first try
* I'll join the group not listed and say the blockade got me :P

I like shooting guns, driving big trucks, car chases, and big explosions. You did all of those things quite well.

I'm sad you didn't get the time to make more levels, I would have played them all. Nice work!

Agree with other, bullet range is too small and we want more levels !

That's awesome that I can "hear" this game, every explosion and bullet... please, give it life with sound !

I love the visual representation of the bullet holes! The best strategy seemed to be pedal-to-the-metal and just rush through.

I liked the game a lot! The bullet holes were cool and the who think felt fairly faced paced. I wish it was longer though, and I think zooming out the camera might have helped made it easier for people on their first play through.

Really cool idea! There really should be more games with car chases, so I'm glad you made one. I hope you expand on it in the future :) The particle effects that appear when the enemy cars explode are nicely done and the muzzle flash is a nice touch as well, but I think that bullets should be a bit bigger.

The game was intense (as a car chase should be) and it was fun.

Also, I don't know if the problem was on my end, but I couldn't hear any audio.

I don't know who these suicidal lunatics that are attacking me are, but I hope they know I enjoyed ramming them until they exploded. Excellent driving mechanics. The blockade took me a few tries since strategy is apparently something my brain struggles with. I wish it had sound.

The play control was pretty solid! And the graphics served their purpose well. Sound would have really taken this to the next level. The only real complaint I have is that vertical visibility is so poor when you have a wide window.

Really fun game with great physics! The only thing I would have liked is sound effects. Good job!
