Woooo! $2096, I am an oil prospecting badman.
Took me about 3 goes to get the hang of the controls on keyboard without catching myself dangling over a ramp.
Overall, pretty awesome. Splitscreen multiplayer?

I liked the graphics a lot, and it's a nice idea. Driving felt too clunk to me. I'd like to play this if I moved around a lot faster :D
The cross-hair thing didn't follow the mouse correctly. Fix that and It will really improve the game.
I fired a whole lot of the detectors, but I never found anything. I agree that the driving felt weird (I don't think I could drive backwards while on the platform?) but it seems like it could be fun.
Very good! I love the mechanic of triangulation, really adds a cool level of deduction to the game. I'm not sure there are any new things beyond the basics, but if there were new toys, now source of wealth, new... Whatever, stuff, I'd really love to see it go multiplayer too :)
Yes the driving is too clunky and I often get stuck by the platform... Which is a huge pain to get on to and then an even bigger pain to reach the stuff to buy.
Other than that - congrats on your first LD! It was my first one too XD
Great pun ;)
I do like this game a lot. However I was never able to finish a game because I kept getting stuck on the geometry of the center platform.
That remind me a minigame of ff7 (don't know it intented). The target not suit the mouse it's a bit disturbing. Often when i get stuck on corners of the platform, the reset make me spawn at the same place (so i stay stuck). Great game overall, i like this idea.
Very nice game, I like the way the truck is moving, the mechanics is very well implemented ! Like Waezone explained, hiding the mouse cursor would be a good idea! It's really easy to do, in the player preferences, build settings, resolution, No context menu.
I really nice the way the physics work in your game. Great work !
Cool idea
Simple and fun :)
Really cool, coulda used more time, my one well made more oil than I could transport so there wasn't much impetus to find more than one.
the xbox controller option was completely useless, keys were ace.
at the edge of the map the car was crazy. Btw, good game
I took me about 15 minutes to really understand how it works, and then after drilling some oil the game finished because the "globe warm" or something like that ! 1,500 dollars I got. It looks like it could be a lot of fun if the game was polished ! I liked the sound of the detector in the sand ! I also liked the old GTA controls, even if it can be a bit annoying sometimes.
