Gameplay
The player controls a constantly bouncing car while driving through various environments including a city, pyramid, and underwater. The height of the jump and speed of a fall can be controlled with the joystick. The player can shoot various enemies that appear. Points are gained by collecting treasure, killing enemies and jumping on clouds.[4]
Notes
gollark: Depends on the god.
gollark: Out of all possible gods, the ones which pay particular to attention to humans are probably a very small subset, although I guess given that we exist the probability of any god, should one exist, being one of them, is higher.
gollark: The lower-dimensional geometry mostly generalizes perfectly.
gollark: But you can totally do that, if not visualize it.
gollark: Why would a god which you can't comprehend care about human life of all things?
