Why blow up an enemy vehicle when you can steal it?
Why stay in 1 vehicle when you can pilot a small fleet?Hijack Overdrive is a fast-paced action game where you steal enemy vehicles mid-combat to fight back. You'll have to jump from vehicle to vehicle in order to pilot your self-acquired-fleet through the enemy forces.
It's a unique genre-mix of Platformer, Shootemup, and a bit of Towerdefense.

Story
You’re part of a small resistance fighting against a tyrant set on world domination. His quest for power has led him to look beyond our world in search of the elusive monster-realm and the power it contains.
He must be stopped before it is too late, but his forces vastly outnumber the resistance's. In a last effort, "operation Hijack Overdrive" has been set in motion.
Now all hope rests on your shoulders, as you’ve been trained and equipped to turn the enemies’ numbers against them!
Gameplay
At it's core Hijack Overdrive is a side-scrolling platformer. Staying in 1 vehicle will often mean the death of you, so you’re constantly on the move, stealing different vehicles, creating a small fleet on the fly, all while dodging enemy fire.
Depending on what you decide to do, a vehicle can be an enemy, an ally, a platform, or a shield.
You decide how you want to tackle each situation, but you’ll have to think fast.
Garage
You’re stationed in a base near the front line, from there you will start each mission.
After completing a mission, the vehicles you acquired get added to the garage in your base.
You can use any vehicle from your base to start a mission with, and even summon one when in a pickle.
There’s also a unique challenge for each vehicle type in your garage, so try to collect them all!
Grow your own personal fleet and use them on special missions where you’ll need every last one of them!
You can redo missions at any time to get more vehicles in your garage. (and get the ones you missed)
