Guncar Arena is a super-fast shooting game where you drive a weaponised car shooting hordes of alien invaders. Play requires expert timing and deft steering to drift through attacks while tactically and inventively using your weapons to target enemies. When you die, you start over and lose any items you found, so you must lean on reactions to reach further each run as you refine your strategy and hone your skills.

You control your car's direction and speed as you explore the arid desert where the aliens are staging an earth invasion. You start with just a few different weapons (front-mounted machine guns and rocket launchers). You can also just run the aliens over, but need to also be careful to avoid their attacks. As you play, you find money that you can use to get new weapons and upgrades to your vehicle.

As you get further the number of enemies steadily increases, as do their attacks, to the point where navigating your way through the bullets, fires, and other deadly hazards becomes the primary challenge. This turns play into a battle for survival as you must expertly drift and drive with precision.

The result is a game that pushes you to creatively overcome the scale of your enemies' numbers by experimenting with unusual and creative attack styles. It's a game that not only rewards skill, precision, quick reactions but also intelligent strategy and forward thinking.
