I'm having trouble with the controls. WADS seems to do nothing on the web player.

When running the Windows version, I cannot the the roads, only the terrain features (i.e. houses etc.)

For more reason the terrain isn't rendering. I can only see the cars, turnips and buildings in both the web and download version.

For some reason, I can't see the streets - I can see houses, trees, turnips, my truck, and other cars wanting hot dogs, but the background is completely black.

Using Unity Web Player version.

The car seems to steer itself sometimes, which is a bit odd. I like the music track. I was able to get past one level, but after that the self-steering car seems to be sabotaging me too often...

With the web version I cant see the roads at all but I can get the gist of it. The controls do work but since you cant actually turn until you hit an intersection it feels like it mostly does not work. I really like how you can see the targets if theyre off the screen due to the icons though.

I can't see the road on Linux version and I couldn't find how to exit if the game is not windowed??

The unconventionality of this game was a little bleak, it took me a minute to realize you could squeeze giant bottles of ketchup on the ground. That being said I thought this game was hilarious! It really feels like a complete game.

Controls are very spongy, it took me a while to realise I was even in control of the truck what with it taking turns left automatically and not responding to input immediately. Also surely mustard is a better weapon?!

Nice little game, strange controls though. #invisible roads

I had no problem with road or controls.I found the idea very cool.It reminded me of old school pacman merged with modern graphics.Liked the game a lot!

I don't really like the fact that you cannot reverse in a single lane. Due to this, the game is much harder than it should be. In Pac-man, you could reverse your direction even if you didn't approach a fork, so I expected the same thing to happen here. I think it would have been clever to allow that, AND make it so that you can bypass trapped cars, allowing one to escape even if they were sandwiched by two cars.

I also recommend just a straight, vertical layout to make the arrow keys controls a lot less confusing.

Ha, nice and funny game! Like the tilt-shift effect on the game as well. Just missed some sound effects. Ah, the linux version is running smoothly ;)

Nice little game! Took me a while to figure out that the controls are relative to the screen instead of relative to the car. But when I did, I had fun! Good work.
