Good game! Much better than the high rated ones. Do not give up!

Nice graphic style ! I like it.

Very smooth and the physics is well balanced ! Very good job on of my favorites Compo game !

Simple concept, nice graphics! Good job! :)

I used to love playing these types of games. The physics on the car is a little off, but overall it's nice.

Simple but cute art style! I would love more levels but some are already quite challenging. Good job!

The art is beautyful I love it, I miss some cheerful music and maybe the levels are bit short, I got until the 5th level. The difficulty is scaling nicely. Simple but Awsome.

Simple and to the point! A bit difficult at times and for the first four levels I didn't realise there was a reverse to the car. Bonus points for using Phaser which is notoriously brutal. Nice one!

Nice game... 5th level got me too... kinda stuck there.

Always enjoy a nice physics base game. You're graphics are really nice looking and I love that the little monsters have very clear readable moods. I did notice that sometimes while driving over an egg it felt like the car had no weight on its front wheel and so it was just sticking out into the air which looked a little weird. Other than that you did a really good job.

Graphics is simple but very nice, gameplay nice to.

Nice game, I like the graphics and the change of the monsters. Even though there were no sounds or music, the game has a nice atmosphere. The controls were tight an the levels nicely created with climbing difficulty. Would be nice to see this as a full fledged game :)

simple, but fits with the style well. Went against my natural impatience!

Nice concept, the physics work well and it was actually quite difficult towards the end, quite a good entry. the art style, and the pet's statuses are very clear to the player. good work!

Great job on the physics, though it does get very tricky at times! I felt like I wanted to go faster but wasn't allowed, but maybe that was the point? Wish it had music, but overall it's a solid entry! Thanks for making it!

Easey to understand mechanics but not too easy to play. Really gets difficult quickly. There should be a little more friction in the cages - any accelereation - even very small - seems to shift the upper cages by a pixel. Solid entry! :thumbsup:

Fun to play, not frustrating like many games in jams can end up - quick reloading works well. I like that the monster's faces change when they are about to fall - this is great feedback for the player and putting it in the game makes it much more interesting than having it displayed in a UI. I would say the wheel textures could use a little bit of detail (something minimal a hub with a few squares for bolts) so you can tell if they are spinning - but that's a small nitpick - good work!

This might be one of my favourite submissionsI've played so far. Your idea is simple but good and its executed VERY well. I love the aesthetic of this game. Great submission!

I love physics based games like this. The hitbox on car is at times confusing. I would have wished for some more moving elements and more levels. But for the time you had this is a really solid game! Well done!

Very fun. I like this kind of games based on physics.

I found, I think, a small bug : if you manage to drop the monsters in the hole at the left of a level, they do not touch the ground, and so they are not considered as lost (this way I completed one of the levels with one monster on the truck instead of two).

Very nice little entry with very simple mechanics, very well executed and very enjoyable !

Good job !

I wish there was an end screen instead of going back to level 1. Other than that, I liked the concept! I had fun with the game too. Great work.
