I absolutely love the sound design. Great humor and mood. I'll be coming back to play this!

very innovative and fun game! I like the game, but I don't know how to pass the fourth level.

I like the sounds, they were pretty great! I think being able to have some idea where the goal is when you first play the level would make it more fun to play. Otherwise it's like my first try in the level is going to be a throwaway try anyway. I really likes the graphics and the idea. Very cute!

This idea is really good and it could be expanded so much! Great job on coming up with this idea and implementing it in a really fun jam game!

Super unique little physics puzzler! I think... maybe the checkpoints are broken? I wasn't able to figure out the 4th level :sweat_smile: I especially liked the crane that comes to grab you at the end!

Also just FYI the itch link doesn't work

Thank you everyone for the feedback so far, it is much appreciated!

Level 4 is a bit haphazard, but may be a precursor for an infinitely generated level some day... Who knows?

This is great! Played all the way through, and would keep playing. The checkpoints in level 4 felt a bit out of place, but if there were a few more levels in between that ramped them in, they would be expected. I also love the vocalized SFX, though the music did get pretty repetitive. I would definitely play more of this. Nice work!

Great puzzle setup! I like the art style and hand crafted sound effects too!

Great game!! Loved the sound design and the mood it brought to the game. That's a really funny game to play!

Cute game! I liked the sound effects for the car (my game I ran out of time and didn't manage to add any sounds, this is much better than mine lol)

Great entry!

Brrrrrrrrr! Yay!

I love the visuals and the music. The idea is super interesting, and I had fun time playing this game. I am not sure the check point system worked super well, I more then once parked on a check point but was not able to get further. Anyway overall a really good jam game. Well done.

this game was fun and unique and really has a potential! i liked the idea of it and the overall smooth look, i loved the sounds!

checkpoint implementation was strange (when you go past a flag, you have to restart in order to get a new loop), and the restart itself could have a keyboard shortcut. levels were not super difficult, most of the time it was big acceleration then break at the best spot, but apart from that, it was really enjoyable!
