The Boar

A fictional close-air-support jet with A-10 DNA and none of the paperwork. Twin engines high on the rear fuselage, straight wings, a bathtub cockpit, a ridiculous rotary cannon in the snout. Ugly on purpose. Slow enough a thumb can fly it.

The gun is called the Grinder. Thirty millimeters, many barrels, no subtlety. You do not squeeze off a burst. You hold the trigger and walk a glowing line through a machine column until something comes apart.

Not affiliated with the United States Air Force, Northrop Grumman, Fairchild Republic, or any aircraft manufacturer. The Boar is original. Do not look for a real bureau number. There isn’t one.

The Boar, a fictional ugly attack jet with a nose rotary cannon and twin high engines — The Boar. High twins, straight wings, Grinder in the snout.

Controls

Line up. Hold. Pull off.

Fly

WASD, arrows, or the stick

A/D banks. W/S changes altitude. You are already fast. There is no throttle and no airfield. Stay low enough to chew, high enough that the salt pan does not keep you.

Gun

Space, click, or hold GUN

The fat pipper is where the Grinder stitches. Put it on a machine and hold. Tracers, casings, camera punch. If the gun does not feel like a physical event, something is wrong — reload the page and try again with sound on.

Flares

F, Shift, or Flare

Needles lock, then they write your name in smoke. Dump flares and bank hard. You get three. The lock tone is not a suggestion.

A Scrap, a barrel-torso industrial walker with tractor treads and a single red optic — A Scrap. Barrel torso, treads, one red optic. Not a person.

The Cinder Line

An original machine army. They weld themselves out of scrapyards and walk the salt pan in columns. Soft-ish armored farm equipment that learned how to hate. They are machines. You are not strafing people.

Scraps — squat walkers. They pop if you walk the gun through them.

Haulers — six-wheel cages full of more Scraps. Kill the truck, the cargo spills, then kill the cargo.

Stingers — AA dishes. They throw flak into your bathtub. Jink.

Needles — SAM boxes. Lock tone, smoke, then a missile that wants you specifically.

Anvils — furnace-bellied quadrupeds. You do not tap an Anvil. You walk fire through it until the optic goes dark.

Score, then immediately again

Kills feed a combo. The combo dies if you stop chewing. Best score lives in this browser only — localStorage, no account, no energy, no live-service. Runs are twenty to ninety seconds because that is how long a gun run should last.

GUNBOAR is a toy in the spirit of a tight itch.io / CrazyGames arcade, not a flight sim. There is no loadout screen. There is no airfield. There is a cannon, a column, and a salt pan that will keep you if you get greedy.
