About

This game was created for the BornHack 2024 game jam: https://itch.io/jam/bornhack-2024-gamejam

Theme: "upside down"

Story

The military has augmented your great old car with a high caliber Precision Explosion Weapon 2 (aka PEW PEW gun) on the roof.

But the threatening flamethrower tanks from the future arrived before the mechanics were able to finalize the weapons aiming function, so it can only fire straight upwards. As a tactical band-aid solution, you have cranked up the suspension on your car to be able to get airborne. With this you can fling yourself over the enemy tanks to be able to shoot them.

The time traveling tanks are arriving, so you must hurry to eliminate them!
