Maybe compacting an almost full truck could be used to regain health - I think that could tie these mechanics nicely together, and would make a cozy infinite runner.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1182112,"author_name":"nuzcraft","author_uid":"nuzcraft","epoch":1760270643,"text":"This is fun, with lots of interesting mechanics to spice things up.
