On a typical night, the truck driver Flint Trucker was driving down the road on his way home when a bear suddenly jumped in front of his truck, causing an accident. Flint lost consciousness for a while and woke up to find his truck destroyed.
What do you do in a situation like that? Walk back home, of course!

Final Thoughts – Analyzing the Game as a Whole

Graphics and UI

The artwork is very nice and the animation is well-done. I was surprised by the quality of the backgrounds, it’s the peak of the game at this point.

The HUD is small, located in the corner of the screen, showing your HP bar and the weapons you have.

Soundtrack and Sound Effects

The soundtrack is very good, with a strong rock and roll vibe. The only thing that bothered me was the protagonist’s reactions when he hits an enemy, there are moments in the game where it becomes annoying.

Gameplay

Gameplay is easy to learn, but I recommend using a joystick. With a keyboard, the difficulty increases significantly.
Some hitboxes are a bit wonky, so be prepared for some imprecise movement in certain parts.

The game has a save slot, which makes the game much easier. At the end of each phase, it shows the total number of enemies, the player’s death count, the time spent finishing the phase, and a rating (those A, B, C… notes).

This game will definitely take your breath away! It’ll make you angry at the difficulty, but also make you laugh!
The game itself is quite comedic, how the protagonist and enemies were portrayed is pure gold hahaha

Get ready to fire many shots! With all kinds of weapons you can imagine, even one that turns enemies into poop!

OBS: I really HATE WITH ALL MY STRENGHT the selfie aunties.

Replayability and Game Retention

The game is fun and well-made, but personally, I didn’t find anything in it that would keep me hooked.
It’s tempting to restart, but it’s not like “I need to finish this ASAP!”
