Nice game, with great art and music. I found the bus to be a lot easier especially on the second level.

Nice Concept. Would be help if we can have an option to quit to main menu for switching vehicle

Nice game. I think it was a little difficult at the beginning, but then I understood how to do it.

Cool game, fun as well! I kept running into an issue with the leaderboard where I'd try to enter my name, but then it'd immediately skip to the next level.

@kristinamay ah damn, that's weird, I tried to reproduce the bug but couldnt, was it with the bus or the car ?

noooooo ;_; game so hard
which means I played it a bunch. reminds me of some old physics game (like the weird running man) :smile: and I like the tiny boxes. and I like having a leaderboard, even if I'm at the bottom of it hahaha thanks for the game!

Great game! The second level was pretty difficult, I think some more shorter levels could have helped teach the car physics. Took me a while to figure out that you can use Space to jump :D

@julia-zhu @parkuhrmd thx for the feedback, the difficulty is certainly due to the fact that I played too much =D. At first I wanted to do 5 completely différents levels but like everybody, I didnt have that time =D

I love your game style. And the concept of level 1 is pretty interesting, first stable the bridge and then pass the end. I got some trouble when I was playing level 2. I know the player is supposed to overcome obstacles by accelerating through the slope. However, every time the car would got stuck at front of slope. Beside that, I think it looks great. And I hope to play complete version of this game!

You nailed the theme, nice work! Love the whole style of the game, my only (minor) complaint is that the jump in difficulty from level 1 to level 2 is quite big. I got a box to get stuck on the truck though, so managed to get there in the end :D

Fun little game that fits the theme. The difficulty ramped up heavily in the second level. I found the leader board surprisingly engaging. After finishing the second levels once, I had to keep trying for a better time. I managed to beat both records with the good old bus and then beat them again with the car :P


PS: Typing an R in the highscore reloads the level.

# It was really fun to play :smile:
The first thing I did on the first play was, on the first level, "all-right, so a must pass to the other side", I went full throttle and jumped, passed the gap, my car disappeared to the right aaaaand I waited... and then I realize that was not the goal xD
Anyway, I would love to see more levels :p

Lill' advices :
- when using pixel art assets, try to keep consistency in resolution (do not mix big pixel with small... it break the coherence)
- UI is really small, maybe increase a bit it size for readability.

## But I made to the leaderboard :)

The car being able to jump plus that SFX - hilarious! I liked the gameplay a lot but I wish there were easier and shorter levels at the beginning. The difficulty goes from 1 to 8 in the first 2 levels. Also, since you'll be falling or losing all the crates A LOT, it would have been really nice to have a very quick transition back to the start without having to click anything.

Overall, great game!

I got to the 2nd stage woot, I had fun with this, interesting idea. I spent just as much time trying to go backwards as I did trying to beat it. Thanks for sharing.

I had a really great time playing this. super fun. It's really challenging and I keep making it harder on myself by trying to get a leaderboard time! haha, I love it.

I managed to get a time, but I think only due to a bug, the boxes got stuck in the car somehow. Cool that you added a leaderboard!

This was such a fun game! Feels really solid on the controls and the art looks really nice as well. It gets hard really quickly from level 1 to 2 which is fun but kind of overwhelming at first. Aside from that really great entry. I suggest putting some images in the description to get more playthroughs.
