This was a neat game! I ran out of time right before the end; there are some annoying control issues (e.g. hard steering, even on easy. trailer gets collision buggy to the point where you can't turn, etc). Other than that though, it was a actually a rather solid game! Add some music, and some fun voiceovers, and this could be hilarious! Nice job!

edit: I do like the GPS system, very nice!

New found respect for truck drivers over here haha. Once I got fired, I could still keep on driving and make it to the destination. That's when I decided well I'm already fired... and smashed all the cargo!

Well done was much fun :D

We had the same idea! haha The controls are kinda hard to figure it out, huh? (The handling in our game is little bit too difficult too). Nice looking city and cool art style too. Damn, I feel jelous of your GPS system. Just amazing! Great job, dude! Good luck.

Well done, nice game. I like the funny little cars. Handling of the truck was a bit difficult but doable. I didn't get to the end in time and after a few attempts I got in a loop where I was fired immediately after restarting (after changing the difficulty settings).

I like the gps mechanics to guide you. And it's a very good interpretation of the theme.

The physics and the handling of the truck needs a bit of polishing.

I uploaded a little clip to show you a consistent bug when you pause and restart the game https://youtu.be/m-NKjtbq_gU

I liked the game a lot! The scenery got a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the slightly wonky controls. Backing up seemed really tricky though. I also missed the turn where I ... had to drive through a freaking building?!?! and I saw a ramp I wanted to go up, but it wouldn't let me :( Still delivered my packages on time though.

That bug rmc reported is pretty funny :) overall great job!

hahahaha I love this kind of parody and congratulation! Nice art! Can I follow it also on indiexpo? Do you have also a page there? This looks great! I looked for the games that used the #LDJAM but I don't find yours. So good luck!! I will hope to make a video about it!

I like the graphics. It was a bit hard to me

I didn't expect the gps, that was a really nice touch!

I think there might be a bug. After I lost a level, I went to super expensive with maximum load, and i immediately have the "You're fired" sign. Im not sure if it's voluntary or not.

Otherwise, the game had a nice simulation, I like it! Good job! :)

Amazing game, it was well made, had little to no bugs, and fit the theme grealy

I'm super proud of the fact that I somehow managed to flip the truck! Great concept, and the computer voice really brought the humor up to a nice level. The Game Over screen stayed up when I restarted a level. :( But then it went away after restarting again. :)

The GPS had me laughing when it said continue straight early on. Well done game. I feel the truck needs to be closer to the camera in order to get depth correct when trying to corner or make a tight window turn.

Nice game. The steering got a little frustrating sometimes but that's pretty much the point of this style of game I suppose. Good work overall!

nillard 2017-12-07 07:25

This might be one of the most unique ones I've seen yet. Really loved the wobbly controls, and the wobbly camera made it feel even better.

Played it a few times, shaving as much time as I could. https://image.ibb.co/jcEaZb/GASGASGAS.jpg

As soon as I started the game, I got a pink slip saying I was fired. Right out of the gate.

ahintoflime 2017-12-07 22:47

Heh, funny game. Great theme. The GPS seems particularly clever!

eliasmarin 2017-12-08 00:17

Great parody, hards controls but I interesting idea :D

arnochux 2017-12-09 13:49

I've got a bug... I'm automatically fired at the begining when I took too much goods. The game is great tho (+1 for the GPS). Crazy Taxi meets Truck simulator !

Fun game, quality parody. The audio works nicely and the voice-nav gps is pretty innovative. I managed to bank $220000 with five seconds left, it didn't seem like steering is too much more difficult with a heavy load, since I found it was necessary to drive pretty slow all the time. Enjoyable, well executed and good concept overall. Only real gripe is camera handling, it's too low to see the cab, and felt wonky for some reason hard to explain, never felt clear enough where the truck was steering.
