I love the sounds and the colors! Awesome job!

I wish I could have found those flowers. It was nice exploring the desert while avoiding sandworms. Well done

Was fun to drive around, I searched but never found any green flowers :( Sometimes the wheel flowers wheel sprite is squashed flat and hard to see/pickup.

I enjoyed the game (very creative) The theory behind it i found very cool. I did end up dying and had to restart introduction again, which was the only downside i found. Thanks for a kool game either way

Loving the mood with the handdrawn sprites and the colors and nice sounds too. I wish I could skip the intro after dying.

I agree on the sound effects and hand drawn sprites. I actually think it gives the game a lot of character. Hard to tell if its contrarian or was just done in the interest of time. Nonetheless, the end result is nice.

I could not figure out how to reliably get more fuel or wheels. Unless, is there a random chance on those drops? I was dragging them but nothing came out except for a few times. If it is random, adding some type of feedback on those like an audio cue or graphical change could help. I did notice the sprites squashing after I drag them but wasn't really sure what that meant.

Thanks for your submission!

The hand-drawn graphics are fun!

Sounds made me laugh.

I was able to figure out how to get the sand worms to give me oil and shake tires from trees just fine the first few times, but after a while they stopped working.

Also, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing, but it was still enjoyable to play.

Maybe a way to skip the intro text would be nice.

Loved the sound effects and graphics and found it fun to drive around. Would have been nice to be able to skip the intro text when trying to replay the game, but good job overall!

Extremely charming aesthetic and the sound effects are great. I couldn't save dad, however I had a blast of a time trying to!

i actually really dig the pallete, it's a lot from so little, wish i was able to skip intro though. Cool stuff!

I didn't have too much luck finding sand worms or flowers, so I couldn't get very far. I liked the graphics a lot - cool color palette! Also would like the ability to skip/speed up the intro text. Nice job overall!

I found one green flower :)

I don't know how you did it, but this game put me in a really good mood after a crap day of work. Something very peaceful about it.

Controls to exit the car were not explained, but mapped sensibly.

Noticed a bug with the fuel worms: if you just click (not hold) on them they go into a limbo state and you cannot interact them any more.

Really good job!

I couldn't move with WASD after the game eventually started and then I died. After death the intro started again and it's way too long to see if I could move after :(
