The physics are quite enjoyable, the camera movement is very smooth and the controls are easy and responsive. Good job on that. The music on the other hand was rather... interesting?

Enjoyable. Not certain if the added boxes makes the truck more top heavy or not (or how it fits with the them in this case) I very much liked how you use the back of the truck for the HUD that was an excellent choice. I couldn't find the delivery area, but I kept rolling the truck so maybe I'm not cut out to be the trucker I always knew I could be. ;)

Really nice job on the camera and how it rolls around when reversing. I would have loved a slightly longer song loop though, it got really intense and slightly tiring too soon :D.

My favorite part was going as fast as I could and spamming space to fly over things!

I thought the time element was good as it added a sense of urgency. Some of the sfx were much louder then the theme though.

Good stuff! I really like how you have to back into the crates, well done. I tried always driving in reverse, and flipped the truck, haha.

Great job! i love how the UI is on the truck, really nice touch!

I will never get the music out of my head, but otherwise, well done! need some trucker music here. :D

The truck looked good in terms of how long it took to start building speed etc. Score on back of truck was a nice addition to keep the clean ui. Maybe have option to mute the music <3

cool idea! liked driving the truck generally, although it was really easy to roll and get stuck on scenery? but still fun! i wish there was some UI that told you where to get some crates? because I feel like I drove around the whole town two or three times and never found any crates. that said, I did accidentally dukes of hazard into one so hard that it disappeared so maybe I broke the game?? XD PS. the music really could've done with not being there :(

The graphics looks good but I'm afraid I found the music to be annoying. If it was just a little less repetitive that would have helped a lot. I'm not sure how the game connects to the theme. Driving around fast and flipping the truck was fun. Well done!

The HUD on the back of the truck is a very smart move, well done. I'm not certain if more crates on the truck made a difference on the speed or chance to tip, or was just wishful thinking for my poor driving skills :)

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I apologise for the music, it was a last minute addition and I figured silence would be worse than having a loop in and stupidly figured making and adding this was a good idea. Apologies again for assaulting your ears.

Cool game, vehicle handing needs some improvement however, in particular the turning radius.

daanvanyperen 2017-12-05 21:26

The music brought me to the edge. Spamming space launched me into space, what's not to like!

Controlling the truck was fun, and I really liked how you showed the UI on the back of the truck. The models all looked really nice too. The music was both terrifying and great too :D Nice work!

diptoman 2017-12-06 05:10

The truck rotation feels a bit jarring (like it snaps continuously?) but otherwise feels pretty smooth! The UI placement was smart too. Enjoyable game overall - good work!

Graphics are quite good. Nice idea about the HUD. But in my opinion the truck handles a bit weird. Overall quite good game. :smile:

linky439 2017-12-06 16:58

The truck is a bit hard to control, especially in tight curves. I like the idea of displaying the HUD at the back of the truck, but I would gladly have something to tell me where crates are.

Overall, the idea is nice but I found it hard to stay focused on the task with that music and those rather strange physics. Congrats on making the game anyway! :)

I liked the way it all looks, and I took your advice and muted it before I played, so I do not have any complaints about that. The reverse mechanic was interesting but it drove me crazy. Cool game overall.
