You should sell it to schools as educational game to learn about currency symbols because it was both fun to play and even I learned about the symbol of Ruble

The idea is nice. I like that position of the banks are random each play. One of the most superb things is animations, especially car jumping one - it's totally cute. The thing I do not liked - the controls on a keyboard do not feels native, the experience with joypad is much better.

pcmaster 2019-04-29 11:10

Yeah, I had big plans with controls but then I decided I'm in COMPO and not in JAM so it all had to go :D

pcmaster 2019-04-29 11:11

@superchihuahua thanks for the comment :) I'm actually considering that :D

tfdiaz 2019-04-29 15:48

I had fun because the controls were so hard to get down. Like I knew where I wanted to go but I just couldn't get the car to go that way. I liked it a lot! I did have some glitchy music though.

pcmaster 2019-04-29 17:41

@tfdiaz - thanks! :) I wanted the controls to behave kinda like the car in Overcooked. Did you play the default WebGL version? I couldn't get the music right, although it works on Win64 with no problems. Most probably this 2018.2.5f5 version of Unity3D is buggy :(

the sound is much too loud but everything works, even if not very convinced of the use of the theme

b3agz 2019-04-30 15:15

I didn't think the controls were that bad but looking at the comments I guess it's the keyboard that's iffy, I used a joypad and it felt fine. Like the game, I love me some random generation! Good work.

Nice graphics and solid mechanics. I found the controls and the way the truck moves to be very enjoyable. Also the way you interpreted the theme was very original. Good job!

Controls on keyboard work, it's just that you input the direction you want to go rather than steering, so it takes time getting used to.

It's pretty neat, I could see it used in schools. The currency symbols making the pattern for the grass is a nice detail.

pcmaster 2019-05-01 19:05

@chameleon I managed to make the grass texture like 30 minutes before submitting... in MS Paint, with the ugly spray brush, of course! :D Thank you a bunch :)

chameleon 2019-05-01 19:15

To be fair I did my dirt and grass texture in 10 minutes, simply by creating solid green and brown squares in Piskel, then wiggling around the lighten tool a bunch. But I like your workaround better, it makes a texture that's much more fitting, than a very nice but generic texture.

A take on the theme I hadn't thought of - pretty cool! There's an amazing feel behind the vehicle control (on keyboard), it made the shipping experience quite gratifying, not to mention I learned currency symbols haha. The music is a bit repetitive, which is fine except for the high-pitched instrument that is a bit intrusive. That's nitpick though. Overall, you've pushed a concept quite well! Congrats!

cheesepencil 2019-05-02 03:51

Hard is really hard! Well executed

pcmaster 2019-05-02 09:08

@fusionnist & @cheesepencil thank you guys :)

gward2489 2019-05-02 15:06

nice work! even easy was a bit challenging

fashionbatman 2019-05-03 00:58

Good concept! it was pretty challenging and very addicting.

lesinvisible 2019-05-03 14:22

Well, the interpretation of the theme is so primitive it almost hurts. Overall gameplay has two main problems in my opinion: awkward navigation (it reminded me of the games like dick tracy and who framed roger rabbit on NES) and to close view to the play so it's not only hard to move it's also hard to navigate. But it's a bit educational.

datagreed 2019-05-03 20:10

Difficulty levels: - easy - hard - (rage) quit :D

just kidding. The first entry on compo I played that fully supported gamepad. The control feels smooth and the concept is cool. I actually enjoyed getting around in the van, reminded me of overcooked. Loved the random generation.

The music is a little bit annoying (reminded me of musical postcards), so thanks for the version with it turned off ;)

querk 2019-05-04 20:01

Nice game, i like it :D

skoggy 2019-05-05 07:44

Simple and easy to understand. Good job!

mario-marinelli 2019-05-05 12:02

nice game but the controls are very confusing but other stuff rly nice good work

magnanix 2019-05-05 14:02

The sound was a bit grating! But other than that, it all went smoothly - sometimes the bank would give me faulty money, that the Van refused to pick up. That - is dedication to pure cash, none of these dirty notes from the banks :).

daria-toni 2019-05-06 14:35

Finally got to this game! Like that this game is challenging. I would like a few more level designs and more responsive controls. It's very cool that after restart banks change their places. You can't cheat using your memory :)

kuro 2019-05-08 11:57

The music is horrible, but I love it for some reason :laughing: It just works for me. Apart from that, cute game. Played around a bit on easy, didn't have patience to finish on hard .)

adrieldf 2019-05-10 15:46

very challenging, really cool idea and game

bajtix 2019-05-10 18:59

Nice game! Fun to play, although I think it needs an endless mode.

jk5000 2019-05-11 11:30

Super simple and fun little game. The graphics is fine, and the music is okay but a bit loud. Overall a fine LD game.

acoussat 2019-05-15 12:54

A fun little educational game, but gets boring after a few minutes. The keyboard controls feel weird. I think it would have been nice being able to see all the banks at the same time.

somogy 2019-05-15 15:17

fun and simple, good job!

king-kujito 2019-05-17 12:16

I like the idea of this. If this had short, simple and funny cutscenes along with some more decorated levels, it could become a good educational game.

mharring 2019-05-17 20:45

Neat concept! As mentioned by others, the keyboard controls are difficult and the camera feels a little too close to the player. Could make for a good educational game, well done!

peterfonts 2019-05-18 11:09

Cool game! Symply but clever! Maybe using more intuitive controls like W or KEY UP to move forward the truck and AD, LEFT RIGHT KEY can improve the controls. Overall is great game and very useful to learn the currency of every country. Congrats! :clap:

pcmaster 2019-05-18 11:58

@peterfonts I'm aware of the hassle. Nevertheless, I made the controls "not tank" on purpose. Some players liked it, some didn't. It was meant to be played by gamepad, so in my 48 hours I simply didn't have a chance to put in a mode selector :( Thank you very much for the comments, also @mharring, @king-kujito, @somogy, @acoussat, @jk5000 and everyone! :)

randdir 2019-05-18 12:38

Nice entry but really not fan of the music pal (better shouldn't use one sometimes feel better experience). Nevermind even if control are lil hard to handle at the begining it was fun to play. Keep it up !

pcmaster 2019-05-18 13:12

@randdir that's why I provided a WebGL version without the music :D

tigermouse 2019-05-18 18:10

Love the concept. A really fun little game! Good work :)
