City Bomber

City Bomber combines driving, shooting, and arcade racing in a pursuit of escaping criminals. Players guide an armed car through courses, using missiles and jumps to overcome enemy vehicles and obstacles while reaching each checkpoint within the time limit.

Destroying certain enemy cars releases power-ups. Missile upgrades increase weapon power, wings extend jumping distance, rocket boosters improve speed, and buzzsaws briefly protect the car while ramming obstacles. Enemy oil slicks can spin the car out and significantly reduce its speed.

Crashing into obstacles or falling off the course destroys the car. Although replacement cars are unlimited, each crash costs time and removes all collected power-ups. Points come from destroying enemy vehicles, with additional bonuses awarded for time remaining at the end of each course.
