You have three minutes, a truck, and 24 frames of film. The sky is full of tornadoes. Get the shot.

Doomsday v1 is a storm-chasing game. You drive a pickup with a camcorder bolted to the roof into tornado country and try to photograph twisters before they photograph you. The closer and better framed the shot, the more it scores, and the more trouble you're in.

Every run has its own weather. Some days a single giant storm builds on the horizon, some days it's a whole outbreak, and some days the sky goes quiet until it doesn't. A forecast panel tells you roughly what's coming and where. KTVR News breaks in when something dangerous forms, the sirens start, and a TORNADO EMERGENCY means you should probably be somewhere else.

The truck drifts, jumps and boosts. Stunts refill your boost, near misses count, and getting tossed by a tornado and surviving counts for more. KTVR always wants something: each run brings three bonus jobs, and ten career goals carry over between runs. Finish five and the station paints your truck. KTVR Storm Radio plays the whole time.

Every run shows its seed on the results screen. Add ?seed=NUMBER to the game's address to replay that exact weather.

Controller recommended. Plays in the browser (Chrome or Edge), or download the Windows build.

This is an early prototype and a slice of a bigger game. I'm testing whether the storms feel tense and whether the driving feels good, so honest feedback in the comments helps a lot. Things that felt cheap or confusing are exactly what I want to hear about

Play in the browser or grab the Windows build. The original 2D game, Stormchaser Loop, is still playable at ghostweavelabs.itch.io/stormchaser-loop.
