Really nice take on the theme! in the end there were just too many enemies but it was fun!

Really cool idea! The artstyle could use a little more clarity, as it was pretty tough to tell what was going on, but overall, really neat game!

It as a cool idea and a nice variation on the tower defence genre. The artwork is a bit "grayish" tho. Also, on an "AZERTY" keyboard it is very hard to control.

A very decent mix of a tower defense and a clicking game. Well done!

What an awesome way to innovate on the theme! Nice job!

Needed some time to understand what to do. Reached 5500 Score, for what its worth... got overrun nonetheless. Interesting Game, Good Job!

Interesting game. I really liked the gameplay loop. At first I was a little confused but when I got the hang of it It was a great experiance.

Pretty interesting, I laughed when I sent all the cars and that sound played. Graphics are okay, like the enemies but the background image looks like a million tiny trees. Game becomes impossible after a while. Good job.

@digitaldude555 funny you should mention that, the background is indeed a million tiny trees!

Nice take on the theme! The sound effects of the trucks were nice :D

Had quite a bit of fun with this, would love to see it fleshed out some more!

I liked the concept of the game a lot, I was also thinking maybe a battle logistic game would be an interesting one. Its actually comes super cool with the tower defense mechanics - can work perfectly together. Having said that I found the mechanics a bit too simple, so the different kind of cars or like building up a delivery strategy somehow better would have been more exciting. Also felt a bit unfair to the player in the end the hoard of monsters :) Great job overall, congrats.

Got to around 10,000. Pretty cool idea.

Fun idea! My best score so far is 27,960. This is almost like Vampire Survivors combined with Foxhole. I think you could do a lot with this formula after the jam. It might be interesting to add some automation or at least queue up future routes for each truck, so you can focus on managing other parts of your base and supply lines instead of needing to reassign them every few seconds. I think you could get a lot of interesting gameplay out of this by adding more resource types, maybe different types of trucks (like a gunner patrol or an engineer crew), and maybe setting up roads (and defenses along each) that can increase the travel speed of any trucks on that route.

Great premise, but man was I terrible at it, haha. Great work!

Here for the rescue! :D Fun idea. The mechanics are nice, the music was too loud but it was okay. The graphics are decent. Fine entry, good job!
