You may only have one truck, but that truck can carry at least one trailer.

One trailer you say? That space is too limited, you say?

Have some faith in your own entrepreneurship, my good fellow! Here's an eye-full of some glorious dirt-hauling for some motivation.

In this game, you deliver resources to build a tower as fast as you can (elapsed time shown at completion).

Controls: * WASD/Arrow Keys - Movement * Spacebar/Q - Pick up or drop off resources * Tab/E - Switch out trailers (must be at the tower platform)

Fetch resources from various depots and deliver them to the tower to complete requirements for each level.

Each type of trailer can only carry one type of resource, so make sure you try to collect from the correct depot.

Resources being carried are shown on the bottom right of the screen.

I like the models here, especially for the various types of machinery. Gameplay was quite repetitive but didn't overstay its welcome, I did make it to the end (in about 5:40). Funny to watch the trailers skidding around all over the place, haha.

3D art is beautiful. If the houses could be broken, it could be fun. The truck's driving style is a little "unrealistic" :wink:

No sound for me :thinking:

@bmacintosh Nice score! Glad you enjoyed the skidding. The repetitive gameplay was baked into my early game concept, and I don't think I did a good job of introducing interesting decisions to solve that problem. Good to hear it didn't overstay its welcome though.

@fifut This game is all about "realism" :smirk:. I just realized I had checked the exact inverse of the scoring options I meant to choose. Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you both for the feedback!

Why is this game taking 100% GPU and 50% CPU :(

Apart from that it's ok, the graphics are simple and nice.
