Tower defense played from the enemy’s perspective. (This may exist, I’m not a huge gamer in my adult years.)
I imagine it as a race of sorts, potentially with the enemies being a multiplayer team and maybe rocket league esque physics/mechanics crossed with Mario kart. But, surrounding the track is an increasing level of towers that are bombarding the track. You can dodge and whatnot to survive, multitude of obstacles, ramps, power ups, etc. perhaps even a way to shoot back at the towers.
I'm not a gamer too though I managed to quickly google Tower Offence and several games popped up. Didn't see if they were what you were thinking about though.
Thanks! I actually never thought of searching for it (since I'm just not a gamer much anymore). It is interesting to see that this at least is a [sub] genre. I just watched a dozen or so of different gameplay videos and it's a bit different than I imagined. From what I've seen, they appear similar to strategy games or even reminiscent of Lemmings. They even tend to have an orientation of top-down over the world or side scrolling. I think having a 3D racer would still be cool and actually have the POV be as an enemy driver where you actually control that one enemy vehicle but not the whole wave of enemies. But tbh, what do I know about gaming these days haha. Thanks for taking interest in my random idea!
