As you fix physic you should speed up the movement and try to improve the felling of driving. It's to slow and you have nothing to do than wait while moving.
When I give the 3th object I got a big frees I thought the game crashed but no it continue. And when I give the 5th object the camera view change and then nothing append just the sound of motor I think.
I hope you can improve it ;)
Looking forward for future fixes, but as it is already, it's a pretty good job you've done given the idea you based your game upon.
If you do some inertia based controls, the player needs feedback (on in HUD for instance) about the direction and intensity of speed.
I played the post jam version, acceleration/force given by almost flat terrain seems way too high to feel right. The rover get stuck very often or will suddenly accelerate without any apparent cause.
Bottomline, controls are catchy. In addition, in my case, WASD isn't friendly with AZERTY keyboards and the Arrows + mouse click + space need 3 hands ;)
Once the controls are adjusted there is definitely a balancing pass to do about enemies and the need for abilities. Currently only jump is helpful to get unstuck. Killing enemies doesn't have much impact.
