Guntner 2022

Rescue the sickly life of a dingle whilst surviving high octane shoot ‘em up arcade action. Chauffeur the visibly distraught alien’s ailing pet through a wormhole shortcut colloquially known as “the 13th dimension”. Test your mettle, wits, and lightning trigger reflexes against various and sundry subconscious projections. It is a race against time! Save the dingle! The Rudy is a heavily modified Class C GunTneR ax1147 short-range fighter adapted for interdimensional travel. Commonly ridiculed for its forward-swept wing design and jetsonian bubble cockpit, not one soul denies its pivotal role in the Battle of Yandori-11 that ultimately stopped the seemingly inevitable Interstellar Desegmentation. Fueled by dark matter amulite, the turbo encabulator propulsion and displacement system feeds surplus energy to the shield capacitor while still providing perfectly cromulent thrust. In a questionable choice of engineering, a valve between said capacitor and the quark cannon was installed. Opening of said valve results in unpredictable, rapid fire that quickly drains the shield system. Lack of operating shields results in absolute cabin depressurization and death. Also featured are a corduroy-lined dashboard and a cargo bay of extradimensional space accessible through a trunk sized hatch located on the underbelly. The intrepid Rudy has been rigorously tested, performing courier missions across the galaxy, surviving pirates, mercenaries, and ne’er do wells throughout hostile space for the past 0.237 Terran life cycles. By slim chance or providence, you found yourself emotionally entangled by egregious eyestalks. Mesmerized, you agree to chauffeur a sickly pet dingle through the 13th dimension without pay “The 13th Dimension” was first coined by Ensign 6th Class Harold Bonderson while accidentally aboard the bridge of the Kutonkan Flag Ship, Dianonsodary, during a military retreat. “Is anything in this wormhole real? It’s like we’re collectively facing each other’s worst fears through a nightmare of the thirteenth dimension!”
