Summary

A game by Videlectrix where you bounce the Tire around with your mouse and try to hit things like The Cheat, a bird, a balloon, and Strong Sad. Sometimes the wind changes direction to make it harder. Every time you hit an object, the multiplier goes up one. It seems on a VERY rare occasion a spinning cold one will fly through. Never break a Cold One. If you break them you get 5 subtracted from your multiplier. They go by more and more as you get a higher score.

Premise

In the year 19xx, the citizens of Strongbadia are terrorized by a faceless foe. As a top secret crack commando operative, it is you job to protect the last remaining citizen from touching the tainted soil. You are soldier! Score points by bouncing tire with mouse. Hit infidels to increase the value of each bounce. String combos to prevent the value from dropping over time. You one are of brave few. Accept your mission and step fourth. And remember; never, ever break a cold one.
