What is this game

This jam game was made for GDKO 2025 Round 3, where the task was to recreate (or take elements of) the classic Sega game Gain Ground, first released in 1988. I didn't have much inspiration so I decided to recreate the game as best as I could, but in 3D. It features the first 10 levels, taking some creative liberties but otherwise sticking mostly to what I could gather while playing the original. Most of the content from levels 1-10 is included, but lots of guesstimations were made so it is not a 1:1 recreation of the original game.

I hope you enjoy it! Building this game was a pain, lol
