Steal Car Duel

So here's the deal with Steal Car Duel: you pick a car, drop into a small arena with either a bot or a friend sitting next to you, and then it's a frantic scramble to grab cars, hit the other guy, and build up your garage before time runs out. Your hands are on WASD or the arrow keys, and you're constantly tapping E or O to nab cars that spawn around the map, while using F or K to smack the opponent and steal what they just picked up. Jumping with Space or L gets you over obstacles and onto higher platforms where rarer cars sometimes show up. Each match is like a tiny round where you race around collecting tickets too--those little glowing tokens you find on the ground--which you spend in the Weapons Shop between rounds to buy things like shields that block one steal attempt, or speed boosts that let you dash for three seconds. The Market is separate: you can sell duplicate cars there for coins, or buy cars you're missing if you've got enough cash. Difficulty ramps up because the AI in Solo Mode gets smarter around map three, called Junction Arena--it starts predicting where you'll go and cuts you off, so you have to fake left and jump right instead. Later on, you unlock the Defense Grid mechanic in world four, where you can place a stationary laser turret in your garage to protect your best cars from being stolen outright. The satisfying moments come when you're one ticket short of a high-tier weapon like the EMP Blast, which freezes the opponent for two seconds, and you snatch a car right out of their hands just as they're about to score a Legend tier. The Prototype cars, like the Neon Phantom with its glowing trail, take forever to unlock but feel amazing when you finally see one spawn in a match. Building your garage is the real loop: you earn coins and tickets per match, then invest in upgrades like faster sprint or longer jump, plus cosmetic stuff like wings that don't do anything but look cool. The 2 Player mode is chaotic--my friend always spams the hit button when I'm trying to buy a Street car, and we end up trading bumps until someone rage-quits. There's no neat end to it; you just keep grinding for the F117 jet in the Legend tier, which supposedly appears only after 200 matches but nobody has confirmed that yet.
