Carvivor Ops

So here's the deal with Carvivor Ops. You're in a souped-up supercar, and the cops want you dead. The core loop is stupidly simple: drive around, blow stuff up, don't die. Your hands are on the arrow keys or wasd, and you're just moving in four directions, but the game throws so much at you that it feels frantic. You start with a basic car and a single rocket launcher. The first few waves are easy--maybe five or six police cruisers that just ram into you. But by wave three, they bring in Interceptor units that box you in, and later there's Helicopter support that drops spike strips. The SWAT van shows up around wave ten, and it's armored, so your rockets do squat until you upgrade. Upgrading happens between waves at a shop screen. You spend cash earned from wrecking cops to boost your car's speed, armor, or rocket damage. There's also a 'nitro' upgrade that lets you burst through roadblocks, which feels amazing when you're surrounded. The satisfying moment is when you chain a rocket into a bunch of cops that explode into each other, clearing half the screen. Or when you're at 10% health, no rockets left, and you weave through a gauntlet of spike strips to reach the time extension pickup. Time is the real enemy--each wave has a timer, and you need to survive long enough to finish it. Later waves introduce 'road rage' modifiers where cops are faster and more aggressive. There's a 'boss' wave around wave twenty with a giant armored truck called The Juggernaut that takes forever to kill. The difficulty spikes hard after wave fifteen, where you can't just dodge--you have to use terrain like barriers and tunnels to break line of sight. One mechanic I didn't expect: 'smoke screen' deployables that blind cops for a few seconds. You get those from random loot drops after destroying certain police vehicles. The game doesn't explain that. You just find out when a cop car explodes and leaves a pickup. Your brain is constantly scanning for cops' attack patterns, managing your rocket cooldown, and deciding whether to go for that upgrade or save cash for a better one next wave. The later levels, like Downtown Chase and Highway Havoc, have tighter spaces and more obstacles, so you can't just drift endlessly. It's messy, loud, and your heart rate goes up every wave. The loop is: survive, upgrade, survive more, and hope you don't hit a spike strip at the wrong moment.
