Backfire - Game Jam Edition
A downloadable game for Windows
🔥GMTK 2025 Submission
A chaotic arcade survival game where every shot might come back to haunt you.
Pilot a nimble tank across a wide-open battlefield. Your mission: stay tethered to the rune stone to charge it to full power. But there’s a twist — every projectile you fire will loop back as a ghost shot… and it’s just as dangerous to you as it is to your enemies.
You’ll need to shoot smart, dodge fast, and outlast waves of enemies — all while managing your own backfiring arsenal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🕹️ Designed as a quick, chaotic experience — each run lasts around 3 to 5 minutes.
⚠️ Note: This is a Unity WebGL build and may take 10–30 seconds to load. Thanks for your patience! (Couldn't get WebGL build working in time...)
