#### Description :

Your goal in this top-down shooter is to escort your buggy on the desert road, alongside which a raiders' camp is set.

Buggy's fuel is depleted, so you need to replenish it by small portions that you will find on the map, but be swift, as raiders won't give you much time for search!

#### Disclaimer :
Plasma rifle was meant to be used not to auto-fire on enemies(because it's really slow), but instead to shoot to kill after you have carefully calculated it's trajectory, preferably if the target just stopped to take a shot. Think of it rather as of shotgun with 1 projectile, than as of auto - rifle (also, it is pretty effective to use it as shotgun, too). Give her a try. Also, yeah, the "floating story-tips " at the start should have been a separate screen with an OK button. Thanks for complaining on that!

#### Post-Jam fixes :

* enemies won't try to enter the shield zone, and if they are already inside they will move to exit it
* tweaked enemies stats a little - scout enemies became easier to kill, rifle enemies ow shoot less lasers per attack
* tweaked music levels, to dim shot sounds
* tips are not shown when unpausing
