This was the farthest I was able to get after several attempts. A pretty intense and simple survival arcade game! Good job! The graphics are well-polished and the feedback is simple and to the point. The special ability was quite satisfying to use. I think it would be interesting to explore how the arena or falling boxes could be further expanded upon.
215 points!
I really enjoyed that, a cool physics-based game! Took me a bit of time to understand exactly what the bar on the right actually meant, but then I really got into the rhythm of it and had some good fun! Very satisfying when you could get a good run lined up for the special ability. Game looks very pretty too - its a simple style but it works. Only negative comment I have is that the sound of the truck was a bit annoying, but that's a minor thing.
Also I'm pretty happy with my score - 273 :)

My best was 169 btw.
Very cool game, it's easy to understand what needs to be done, the special ability is a nice addition, and fun to play!
It would be awesome if there was some music, and if the SFX were a bit less repetitive.
I reached 175 on my second game! I wanted to get more, but only did worse after that :D
Nice game!

fun, fun, fun
