### Game

The game begins with a 3-second countdown. Players must avoid traffic (red cars) and run over deer to earn bonus points. For every 3,000 points earned, the player receives an energy point. These points can be exchanged for slow-motion usage (1 energy point = 1 second).

Players start with 3 lives. If hit by an enemy car, the player loses a life, the enemy vehicle explodes, and the player receives a 3-second invulnerability shield.

----------------------------------

### Game over

Once all lives are lost, the Game Over screen appears. This allows the user to save their score locally or return to the main menu.
