The CV that
shoots back.
CV Blaster began as a slightly stupid attempt to turn a conventional CV into an arcade game. Instead of scrolling through TV credits, you fly through them and shoot them. It seemed like a good idea at the time—and, against all odds, it’s actually a fun game to play. Dodge incoming fire, chase a high score and blast your way through years of television work.
