Enjoyed the game, love the mechanic for keeping players from getting stuck. The first time I got stuck I was like "Well, I'll let them know about this bug... oh, never mind." It took me a second to realize I needed to push the red button. Overall a great game!
Interesting idea also like the fact that there can be 2 players playing. The only issue I had was the maneuverability, turning is really difficult. The graphics are looking good too!
A bit hard to push the trash into the pressing machine, but I like the idea! The acceleration felt a bit slow, which might be more realistic but is annoying.
Audio kept cracking, truck kept flippin, but great idea that fits the theme. Nicely done 1v1 game!
Cool and original idea, great graphics, even local multiplayer(but I have no friends), great entery. I like the game, but not the controlls, it's really hard to play. Every time when I trying to do something, I'm rather getting stuck in garbage or flip over and have to wait until respawn. I also have found very annoing bug: when you respawn and there is some trash under spawnpoint, you spawn ontop of objects and when you tries get down, car flips again. Really great game, hope you'll make something out of it after LD

The thing we liked the most was the art, thematic game and concept!
I tried to play by myself, but was not successful :( brain splitting for sure. I think single player is kind of a must for the jam, the 2 players is certainly a cool factor too. Then I got my wife over to play with me and things got better, I like the goal behind it, it felt good for a bit.
The thing that disengaged us was the physics, I think it was great for the trash but not for the whole truck, once things got busy I was constantly waiting for the truck to be respawned into place just to spawned into a flipped position. Maybe locking axis on position/rotation, locking Y pos and and X/Z rotation would be interesting. There where some issues with acceleration, once it gets up to speed and collides, it does some weird things, sling shot kind of. There is a glitch on music when spawning new object that also didn't sit well with the experience.
I feel I didn't say many positives things here, I completely relate to the difficulty of the timeline and I'm sure that given a couple more days my review would be different. Cheers! :)
First of all, cool preview picture! Intresting idea, but the movement of bulldozer seems to me too hard and slow. Sometimes one kind of trash stucks in another and it's very difficult to move them. But I liked the transfer of stuck bulldozer to the center of the dump, it's very usefull and smart feature =)
Thank you all for the feedback! It's true that control isn't balanced, feedback is useful for that and maybe we do corrections in the next days if we have time.
@enot487 @kyllax @haj @chaosthelegend @jose-rodriguez we've updated the controls,I hope to have changed it for better ;)
Fun game for 2 players. I like the combos idea. It reminds me the robot wars, with the red button. Congrats!
really cute game you have here. Loved the cool design and the overall feeling of driving the car. It is a good entry :)
Great idea but the controls are really incompatible with me. I got stuck too many times just trying to understand why when I reverse the controls are... well reversed x)
