The physics in this feel pretty good. It's floaty but you'd expect a space taxi to be floaty. I was not expecting to be saddled with the weight also and it did make it a lot harder. The only issue I found is it's very easy to flip the taxi and you don't really have a way to recover it.

Yeah, the flipping is a nasty issue. You could return back to menu and press restart - though that will kick you back to the first level (with current weights)
Sometimes just spinning around may flip you back to correct way up

Driving was challenging and fun. The weight was crazy!
Whatever, I like the flipping upside down part. Also the warning about the glass ceiling, riiight before I hit it! +1 for unflipping car simulator 2020
Oh man, I am such a lousy taxi pilot. The passengers would probably leave the taxi ahead of time. If they could. Luckily, the taxi is high in the air, so no complaint there.
Great game. And I love hexes in every form.

flipping the taxi is the end like for turtles.
I like the calm music.
Excellent job!
Really fun with amazing graphics and physics!
Great experience driving this. Lots of fun. Congratulations :D

The steering feels very good! Floaty, but always in control. That is until I got to the weight, couldn't steer it at all with the weight on...
But I love physics games like this one, so thank you for making it! :)
The controls and momentum felt really satisfying :)I gave up when i reached 3 weights. I'm guessing it never ends xD
the only real complaint i have is the roof. I would love to get to fly as high as i wished.

"going next level"-idea was really nice and goes with the theme. I played 10 games and this one was first that I really enjoy to play :). Graphics and audo were not so good but I the gameplay was.
Nice controls, very floaty, which makes sense for a space taxi. The weight made it really hard. I love the audio :)
One of my top 10 ! I really like the concept and the reference to portal (weighted companion :) ) !
Great graphics, cool physics and quite innovative in a surprising way! The 1 ton companion was extremely hard, especially as its very hard to flip back when you got the cube on you. Thanks for the game and Merry Christmas!
Really fun game. :D
As other have said, the flipping is an issue, and also the weights dangle way too unpredictably. If they were stuck to the roof, or attacthed by a rope, that would help get a feel for it a lot more. :D
But very well done. :D
Wonderful game.
i could fly off the screen on right side at level 3, and never returned ... BUT Great level change concept! love it! cheers!

Solid game! The controls fit very well to this type of game. I hope you add further mechanics to a post-compo version, like bouncing off walls, magnets etc.
Sweet game! It controlled pretty well, though it was a little slow for me, especially once you got the weight tied to you. XD I really liked the text in-between each of the levels and the way that they changed while maintaining the same screen was really clever! Awesome job. :D

Great physics game! I didn't make it past the third level with two weights, but thats probably due my lack to patience. :)
I really love the level transitions, so simple, but really cool looking.

I had fun! Nice graphics, and nice catchy music. Great physics. One little thing you should do is flip the taxi over when upside down. At one point I was flipped over, and it took me a while to get back up. Other than that this was really fun and original! Good job!
It is quirky and fun. Nicely done! Although after getting a second companion I began to think that the taxi company doesn't pay me enough money.

Entertaining. Didn't have any issue with flipping, but I kept bumping into purple blocks :P they're attractive,,,
The physics are cool. I really like the game. Great job Jaenis!!! I like those extra ton weights..

It's so hard to be a space taxi driver nowadays. =)
Great enrty, I love it!
