Challenging if you know what I mean. There were what? Two powerpacks? And even if you only stayed on the main road you barely made it. It could have been fun to have to go through some more challenging areas to get the powerpacks. Another thing was that I did not feel like I knew where I was going or how far I had left. Once my car flipped over and after that I did not know if I was going backwards or forward, maybe adding a minimap or a \"distance left\" meter. On one of my tries I think I ran into a bug, I tried my breaks in the middle of the road and after that my car would not move(I had about 25% power left)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"LandbergLife","author_uid":"1045308","time":"2017-08-01T19:08:22Z","epoch":1501614502,"modified":1501614502,"text":"You know what bud, it took med 15 minutes to get to this god damn store, I don't give a flying falafel if you want to go to a different store!\n\nI did enjoy your voice acting, it would have been nice with more :) \nThe game felt hard, but not.....

(oh, maybe not haha!)\n\nLikes:\n- really funny real life voice overs, great!\n- multiple radio stations, hah\n- you get to drive on a seemingly open world highway!\n- driving off the roads to collect things feels ridiculously overpowered (I like to think I have 50 tons worth of trailers behind my rig)\n\nChallenges:\n- the view distance is a bit low\n- what does the space bar do exactly? feels like accelerating, but it's braking. more or less... :)\n\nOverall:\n- a pretty different entry with funny dialogue and a neat trucker flair","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Drums","author_uid":"1034711","time":"2017-08-07T18:41:29Z","epoch":1502131289,"modified":1502131289,"text":"You guys are the real deal.

The voice acting is pretty cool, and having different radio stations is neat anyway! Areas of improvement to me could be clearer power ups (their effect and \"pick up feedback\") and faster pacing. In the middle while driving i shortly forgot where i was going, but the road sign reminded me ;)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ProdigalSon","author_uid":"1034666","time":"2017-08-08T18:56:24Z","epoch":1502218584,"modified":1502218584,"text":"There's personality between the two main characters which is good.

The theme didn't really fit though...\n\nSome more backstory would improve the game, and the loading could be improved, so you don't see the world loading in as you drive. Maybe some fog could improve the situation?...\n\nAlso I found myself out of power way to quickly. Maybe some more energy pods?\n\nOverall, nice game, but there is still a lot more that could be done to improve it!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Crown Games","author_uid":"1003787","time":"2017-08-15T21:53:12Z","epoch":1502833992,"modified":1502833992,"text":"Not bad, but like @jason200101 said, it could certainly use some more backstory.
