I could not figure out how to reliably get more fuel or wheels. Unless, is there a random chance on those drops? I was dragging them but nothing came out except for a few times. If it is random, adding some type of feedback on those like an audio cue or graphical change could help. I did notice the sprites squashing after I drag them but wasn't really sure what that meant.
Thanks for your submission!
Sounds made me laugh.
I was able to figure out how to get the sand worms to give me oil and shake tires from trees just fine the first few times, but after a while they stopped working.
Also, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing, but it was still enjoyable to play.
Maybe a way to skip the intro text would be nice.
I don't know how you did it, but this game put me in a really good mood after a crap day of work. Something very peaceful about it.
Controls to exit the car were not explained, but mapped sensibly.
Noticed a bug with the fuel worms: if you just click (not hold) on them they go into a limbo state and you cannot interact them any more.
Really good job!
