Gameplay is simple but works. The pixel art shader or whatever that is looks nice

Love the simple pixel aesthetic. I do wish there was abit more than just driving. But overall still pretty fun!

Had a good time with this one, having the arrow change colour as we get closer to losing was a really good idea. The map was good, the truck was a little slidey but that kind of added to the chaos of the game. At around 15 packages cars were starting to form walls in the road, which meant there was some interesting scaling difficulty in finding new routes to my destination. Overall, really fun little game with a cool art style and mood.

My best score was 22.

Are the slithering controls a design choice? I found it difficult to steer the vehicle.
However, I find the color scheme creates a fitting athmosphere for this scenerio.

I'm not sure I would call this fighting traffic
+ The building blended in and were hard to distinguish, I think having the roof and walls be a different color would help, especially when the windows are not visible
+ The car rotated pretty slow while still, which made me drive at full speed all the time. I think having it the other way around, the faster you drive the slower you turn, would be a more interesting choice for the player making them slow down to turn.
+ I kinda liked the sliding drifts.

This game kinda remind me the first GTAs (1,2,3) with top-view camera. The 3D / pixel / top-view, although minimalistic, is really cool! It's fun to play, the truck could be more manageable, though. Maybe with faster acceleration, sharpest turns, or hand brakes.

Nice job!

this one is pretty fun to pick up n play for a few minutes at a time. the car sliding all over the place was kind of annoying at first but i ended up enjoying it after a few runs. i think some more color and style of buildings would have helped add a bit more variety. I was also getting a lot of flickering on the sidewalk areas.

At first controls feels awkward, BUT THEEEN!!! God I loved drifting 20 miles in single turn to deliver some boxex) Simple but solid style. Expirienced some texture fighting or idk maybe it's pixel shader doing it's thing. Good submission.

I actually liked the controls because it was really nice to drift, but I thought the packages were a bit too far away (was it random) so I failed a lot. I guess that's the "unreasonable". I also found it a bit hard to distinguish the buildings from the road.

We've had some similar game idea for this jam! I really like your pixel shader. I feel it's a pity that all the package collected are not designed to deliver to some one.

Takes some while getting used to (especially for people with executive functioning problems) but the game becomes quite fun! There is a bit of pixel jitter/graphics glitchiness with black lines for me though.

I liked the idea and the simplistic artstyle! Was the slippery driving meant? It kinda feels like and ice skating game :laughing:
The level generator is a nice touch.
Is there a way to load a new game without refreshing the page?

I really like the somple art style and it did remind me of those earlier GTA games! I also liked the traffic getting more crowded. I had to get used to the controls, but they are fine overall.

Took a while to get accustomed to the controls, but this was pretty addicting. The art was really nice and I really liked the lack of music. Really added to the atmosphere, with the truck sound just whirling in the background. Reminds me of games you would see on the app store. Nothing much to improve on other than adding more content in general, but it's good for an arcadey endless game.

Fun spicy little game, its fun to see someone else have a similar idea! Great minds think a like!

There's a lot of really good juice in this game! The engine sound changing when you speed up, the arrow changing color the less time you have, the different crash sounds etc!

graphics do their job well and the gameplay feels solid.

The only thing i feel this game is missing, is some form of punishment for crashing! like losing some health or exploding or something. But thats just me nitpicking. Either way! Great game dude!
