Hijack Overdrive is a fast-paced action game where you steal enemy vehicles mid-combat to fight back. Jump from gunship to gunship in order to pilot your makeshift fleet through the enemy forces. It's a unique genre-mix of Platformer, Shootemup, and a bit of Towerdefense.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Bug Fixes: - Fixed issue with final guardian boss moving too fast - Fixed issue with start vehicles when starting a training mission from another mission - Fixed issue with challenge restrictions when starting a training mission from a challenge mission - Some small improvements to challenge missions objectives-validations
- Removed experimental slowmotion mode - Fixed issues with data not being cleaned up upon switching modes
The new update features the addition of the new Shooter-mode, which let's you play the entire game in a more traditional shootemup way! It retains Hijack Overdrive's iconic and unique hijacking mechanic, but replaces the fleet-managing aspect with a more direct shooter approach. The original mode is renamed to Fleet-mode and will ofcourse remain the default game-mode. Update Notes for version 1.1.0: - New game-mode: Shooter-mode - Fixed crash related to selecting vehicles when empty garage
