A Game by Robert "Robert3DG" Grubbs
Music by Patrick Meissner




Taking place in a futuristic city, the city police have recently got annoyed with how you jaywalk, take candy from babies and act like a jerk. So they've sent out hundreds of military grade hover drones after your ass! Dodge them for as long as you can and use the space bar to fire your machine gun to pick off the stragglers! It may be weak, but the bullets are infinite. Radical!

This game actually made me laugh. The Police Force cars are real troll slayers. 60 car pile ups, bullet gangbangs and trolling possibilities galore.

Gotta admit Robert, you did one hell of a job.

Glad you enjoyed it Rusty.

I've been addressing common complaints and taking the game closer to my original vision since the jam release. I think you will find the game even more enjoyable in it's current state when I release it sometime after the jam voting Posted Image

Good game - quite fun (much better than my jam game :P)

One thing I noticed is that the most useful trick you can know is: always reverse and hold space. I think you should slightly improve the AI so that they don't just follow you and get shot as you shoot backwards.

Very well made. I enjoyed it too, although it soon gets repetitive. My highest score is 27,000, but I actually became bored of using the shoot ability, so I just drove around.

Thanks! Working on more AI besides the drones. Expect to fight some more cunning enemies later on Posted Image

Nice to see a fellow Crash fan respond to one of my games (Assuming by your awesome N. Brio avatar) masterofhisowndomain!
Working on adding more actual gameplay, the next version has some great new action!

I really enjoyed this game. The concept is pretty great, but it's really the environment that I love so much. A giant colorful futuristic city with hover-cop-cars chasing you around is pretty fun to play in, plus I was really amused by the colorful laser beams. Aside from the camera starting you out a little too low, it didn't have any glaring flaws to me.

I'm guessing you might add onto the gameplay a lot more later, so my only suggestion would be to make the world a little bigger. While cruising around is fun it feels a little limited in the small section you play in, but I suppose that might have been your intention considering how those cop cars pile onto your ass.

Overall, excellent work. I really can't wait to see more from you.

Damn you! Damn you!

I remember this game... bizarre flashbacks... driving round a city, as soon as you run a red light, drive on the wrong side, hit a pedestrian, about 400 police cars chase you round and smash crap into you resulting in several civilian deaths. Epic gaming.

this game was awesome! better than your others.
the 3D was very well done for 3 days and the game play was fast and fun. it gets a bit boring after a while so be sure to add more content eventually!

definitely one of my jam favorites.

Loved this game Rob, and doing music for it was fun too. You put some really good work into this and was interesting seeing the progress on the way. After playing the other jam entries this is still among the very best

Glad you liked it eyebot! And thanks for the warm compliments Posted Image

I definitely looked over the theme LAW and couldn't get images of 10 car pile-ups out of my head! Glad people enjoy ridiculous cop AI as much as I do!

I see you set up a music shop on the GMC, good luck with future work!
