Played this in discord with my friends and we got a huge kick out of trying to hit the big jump over and over. 10/10 well done!

Fine game idea with a simple execution! Congratulations on your work!

Everything looked great, music was good, sound effects were good and it played really well. Two things I noticed: I cleared the first level but I didn't do anything because I couldn't figure out what the battle zone was where I was supposed to deliver and I respawned at west when I flipped my car at east. Very nice game!

Also I would've liked another jump or something risky to get to a battle zone faster if you pulled it off!

I can tell you've put a lot of effort into this, cause this is a great game! The overall look of the game is very good, the controls feel natural, and the soundtrack & audio effects works really well in giving you that "military vibe". The game progression is nicely tuned. It doesn't start off too difficult, which is a classic mistake, but naturally progresses into larger challenges. If I were to comment on possible improvement, I would have liked to see even more effects at the front-line (explosions, maybe more gunfire etc.) to make the player feel like they are really at the front-line / heart of the war, and that they have to deliver those supplies in time or it will have fatal consequences. Overall though, I am impressed by what you have been able to achieve in such little time!

Love the idea, had to really manage my time!

I think this idea would be more fun if you could start to see the results of your efforts or failures. Maybe enemies overtake certain points or your forces push forward.

Good job making all these assets for the jam, really good work! The gameplay was fun and an interesting idea. If you were to expand on this I'd suggest each frontline is fighting a seperate battle, and depending on the amount of supplies they have, the better they do until they win. Better yet, the frontlines start off closer to the supply depo, and each time they win a battle, that frontline moves forward and farther from the supply depo. But overall, neat idea and good art!

Cool game! I wish truck would steering was better :D And also decreased timer of battle or increase resources consumption so you are note bored. But overall great game!

The idea is unique and a good take on the theme, but the gameplay was just a lot of waiting around. It wasn't particularly difficult to keep the camps stocked since the resource depletion was really slow, which didn't motivate me to drive all the way back to camp to restock. And in the 3rd level, I gave up after getting to the east camp and then looking up at the timer and seeing there were over 3 minutes left of waiting around.

I think the game would have been more fun if you had to drive past enemy fire, and the over all timing was reworked to increase the intensity. I think there's a lot of potential to turn what you made into a unique experience, one that I don't think has been done before

Managed to beat all the levels! It was fun and the ambience felt great in the game!

rezioz 2023-05-11 16:13

Now that's some well made trucks physics ! That was a cool concept :)

bluedandelion 2023-05-12 17:07

This is a very well done game, good job guys!

great and entertaining, the change of mood is good, the only thing that is strange is the music that just does not fit the war environment. but I liked how the game challenged me in advance, but I always felt it was achievable if I planned it well. Very good entry
