I really love this puzzle. Stopped playing after I got all upgrades though with like 60 packages delivered. It's a nice simulation with gears and fuel. And yeah the things you already wrote down are missing. Additional challenges etc. The difficulty is quite hard as the fuel goes down quickly and you dont have that much money to actually make up for bad routes. Also shifting manually would be cool, as you normally could save a lot of fuel by driving slowly in the real world. So time constraints additionally could be nice.\nIn general just well done. And that in 48 hours :D","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":936798,"author_name":"Lee Martin 77","author_uid":"lee-martin-77","epoch":1682948281,"text":"Love the style, and love the puzzle involved. It feels really tightly made, and well focused. I can see where there would be room to really take this concept further. I think if there is a change I'd make, it'd be to make it clearer what is actually changing when a player goes up\/down the gears, as while I can read the rules\/numbers, there isn't much visual feedback on the difference it makes.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":937136,"author_name":"clemall","author_uid":"clemall","epoch":1682952466,"text":"I have to say, your puzzle game is really cool! The upgrades you've included are a great addition and make the whole experience even more interesting. There were definitely some challenging moments, especially when the packages were badly positioned and I was running low on fuel - I had a good laugh at that! All in all, it's a super fun game and I really enjoyed playing it. Great job!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":955102,"author_name":"protowlf","author_uid":"protowlf","epoch":1683098309,"text":"Really cool game! Simple but squeezes out a lot of depth from the mechanics. it made me stop to think to map out an efficient path, so mission accomplished!\n\nI seemed to stabilize out quickly with the upgrades, but I think the amount of depth you got in your entry is a big success!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":969988,"author_name":"YurisCat","author_uid":"yuriscat","epoch":1683359053,"text":"I like this very fresh and soft pixel art style. The screen being surrounded by the structure of the vehicle also adds to the immersion of the game. I got fired at first because I forgot to pay attention to the remaining fuel haha. I really look forward to seeing it grow into a complete game!

It gets boring very quickly. All you do is drive back and forth. And there is no challenge also, once you count the number of cells, you will never lose.
