Players: Single-player
Duration: 5 minutes

Premise:
Stranded on a floating steampunk pirate fortress in space, you are the last hope against an endless wave of clockwork corsairs. Armed with a powerful flamethrower, you must defend yourself while managing your precious fuel. Fuel is your lifeline—run out, and you’re helpless. But there's a catch: consuming fuel gives you a temporary berserker boost, increasing your attack speed and movement, but it also burns away your reserves.

Challenge Pitch:
Think you can handle the heat? In Flamethrower Frenzy, your flamethrower is your best friend—but also your biggest threat. Fuel up, burn enemies, and don’t explode! Only the smartest pyromaniacs survive.

Crowd-Engagement Pitch:
In this fiery VR battle, YOU hold the power! Players fight with limited flamethrower fuel, but spectators trigger chaos—vote for fuel storms, turbo boosts, or explosive surprises! Can the player handle the heat?

Gameplay:

• Use your flamethrower to incinerate steampunk space pirates.

• Fuel management is key: use it wisely for attacks, but also drink it for a short burst of power.

• Scavenge fuel canisters dropped by enemies or scattered around the level.

• Beware of overloading—carrying too much fuel makes you an explosive target. If your fuel tank is hit, you go kaboom!

• Survive waves of increasingly aggressive pirates within the time limit to win.

Crowd/Queue Participation Idea:

• Spectators can vote on special event triggers (e.g., ‘Fuel Storm’ where all fuel canisters explode, ‘Turbo Mode’ where all players get infinite fuel for 10 seconds).

• A random spectator gets chosen to play as a special enemy (like a pirate captain) using their phone to choose attack patterns.
