Dear computer video gamer,
I have worked hard to achieve a masterful game, both deep and fun, satisfying the most demanding action desires. The idea came years ago when I vigurously played the demo of GTA 1 after school. I was addicted to killing as many pedestrians, cops and doing as much damage as possible within the 6 minutes time constraint of the demo. I also liked the original top view experience most and not finding a game like that on the market I decided to make one myself. But with additional twists, with horde-survivor/roguelite and extraction shooter elements to make it more interesting and emphasize unique play strategies.



What makes a good police chase game?

  • demanding police chase AI
  • tricking AI into blowing each other up
  • slick feel-just-right driving
  • great driving physics with drifts etc.
  • satisfying physics leading to emergent situations (eg. explosions!)
  • satisfaction and flow from avoiding the most dangerous situations


Have fun,
MM - the developer
