Backfire

“Backfire” was a submission for GMTK Game Jam 2025.

Overview

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.
