Trying to overcome the physics of the car is the most fun here)
I love the concept of having to collect materials and carefully deliver them to the construction site - not seen anything like it yet in this jam. I found that the forward/backwards control of the car was a little floaty, making it a bit tedious to control - but the side to side control and rolling felt really fun to play.
The vibe of the game was very relaxing and I appreciate that it wasn't ruined by forcing an arbitrary timer on the player. I do however feel that the game could have done with a bit more variety in the gameplay - maybe some sort of puzzle mechanics where you have to figure out where you have to take each material or something. I got a bit bored by the 3rd level where it was just more of the same.
Overall a really nice experience playing. I only had one problem which was where I slightly clipped onto one of the rocks and pressing R didn't help me get off of it. Good job with it though, I know how tedious tuning physics can be in games and you managed to do a great job!
The rotational velocity of the truck being preserved after resetting it with the [R] key can be a little frustrating as the truck usually rolls over again like this without any turning done since the reset.
Introduce more level variety as early as possible. Realising the third level essentially being the same as the second level but doubled (likewise with the second against the first level) isn't a good feeling.
