quite an interesting idea, though I would have liked some indicator as to when I'm going to game over. but otherwise pretty cool :)

Jonathan Whiting

A cute, novel, and well themed idea, and a pretty slick implementation too. So nice work :)

The controls however leave something to be desired, I realise some of the games challenge comes from it, but I was practically screaming out for keyboard controls to move the truck, and mouse reserved soley for the arm (or similar).

Yikes... 10 points is my record! Three lives just doesn't cut it in such a violent game (violent against the player, not containing violence)! It's a pretty cool idea (5 on theme!), and I like the pothole goo FX, but the controls and just overall challenge were nuts.

Neat idea, but very hard to play. I think it would be easier and more fun if you moved the truck with the cursor and aimed with the mouse. An indication of lives left would be good as well.

Incredibly difficult. I recommend either mapping the keys to movement (and not the mouse) or make the potholes fill more quickly, or make the screen scroll more slowly.

I had a bit of trouble controlling the tube thing, but well done overall!

matrin

Very nice, but way too hard. :D AN excelent game.

PsySal

I like the idea, but I find it's too hard to control the truck and fill potholes at the same time.

I liked the associated story. Good use of the theme! The controls were difficult, but I did find myself trying to make sure that I always came at a pothole from the side.

looks great and is fun to drive but game was way too hard for me. I seemed to die often no matter what I did. I managed to fill maybe 10-20% of the potholes encountered. I really like the idea and it seems like it should be fun if you can make the controls / difficulty a lot easier. love the animation as you dump 'hole-filler' from your crane.

As already mentioned, it was quite hard to hit the pothole and not get stuck in it. But apart from that it was fun game.

I especially liked the story - boss embezzled the money and now when presidents is coming, you have to fix it. :))

Different styles of potholes was a nice touch.

could've been fun, but the pothole's clip was outside the graphic, causing too many crashes, and some just stopped filling, maybe i 'crashed' into them.
