- Solid gameplay
- Excellent voice acting
- Banger soundtrack to drift to
- Parcel delivery has never been this exciting

Very solid game concept, game rules are very intuitive, nicely executed, clean artstyle, very well done sound wise. Had a lot of fun. Truly one of the games of all time.

The soundtrack and unique gameplay are the key outstanding parts, really fun and polished.

Yee-har! Had a lot of fun with this, even if my hi score was only 4! My biggest gripe was I had periods where I was waiting for an X card, and just plopping tiles randomly until I had one (while my truck went back and forth on a safe loop) Would be cool to design around that somehow. Would also love a portal-style card. But I liked the tense, rogue-like Lemmings vibe of it!

Interesting concept! Unique way to use the delivering theme, I did find myself a lot of times just placing blocks randomly to get the one i needed, maybe a reroll button would be good with some penalty? Either way, was fun, great job!

Everything worked pretty well, I would have just liked to see a little bit more of interactivity somehow though. It feels a **tiny** bit bland, but still fun regardless. A very nice entry to the jam.

Loved the concept :heart:
The only issue I have is the "onboarding" of the game. It starts very abruptly and the first time I died after 2 seconds. The tiles with the walls are a bit frustrating but cool variety of gameplay !
It would maybe allow for better strategies to only replace the picked up card and not the whole hand, so we can save good pieces for later.

Yeehaw! I had plenty of fun with this. The gameplay concept is unique and well thought out. Nice game with potential for more. Well done! :)

I love the concept. It's super fun and deceptively hard. One thing that can get frustrating is when I get multiple of the same pieces and they don't fit, so I have to dump a bunch of pieces in a corner

Nice concept and execution. Surprisingly difficult, the randomness felt a bit annoying at times, but the base concept is great. Neat soundtrack also ^^

Amazing soundtrack, very pleasant, i found the game difficult to apprehend.. before i read the rules in the description :D it is indeed very solid,
I think that a less aggressive color palette, especially for the general decor, would have been a little better for comfort! (that blue is very aggressive for the eyes ^^ )GG !

Very nice game-play differing from most, loved it. The overall aesthetics fit really well and the concept is marvelous and I can see could be expanded on a lot, so hopefully it'll be updated a bit more haha. I also enjoyed the music a lot, great work!

You really stumbled onto a really cool gameplay loop on this one, great job!

Very well designed and polished entry! I enjoyed the strategy aspect of the game. I guess something could've been done about the situations where you put you car in a loop and are free to build rest of the board while it's safe. I assume that random object that spawn are added to counteract that, but it doesn't feel very good when they just randomly appear. Maybe there could be some indicators before they spawn?
In any case, you did a great job and I really dig the "board game" look!

It reminds me to chu chu rocket, and I have wasted to much time on that one not to like this one.

I would say it needs some rng mitigation, sometimes it's brutal, and having only 3 choices, and one choice reroll per use... Maybe it is just me, maybe the game just hates me.

:mailbox:This is a very cute game that uses 3D pixelated models, providing a very interesting visual experience.

:blue_car:One playthrough is not enough, and I can't wait to play it again! Thank you to the developers for bringing us such a great game!

This is great! Simple gameplay but gets hectic real fast as you fill up the board. I love the music too, very bouncy and exciting as I'm frantically searching for an arrow to avoid the oncoming wall of doom I placed only minutes ago. Great work!
