i can't believe you guys implemented a vehicle system in a jam, thats amazing! i had some issues reaching delivery points because multiple trucks were in my way all holed up in there. but otherwise, great effort :)

Nice job on the game. Was pretty fun. I found the enemy delivery person to be a bit too easy as they only follow you and dont drive the shortest path, but the idea to race the a delivery person is pretty funny. Overall, great work!

"Trucker" was one of my favorite childhood games. This one gave me the same emotions.

I loved looking at the wheels turning and the review camera where great. I did some serious off-roading. There probably should be some type of speed penalty for going off-road. And braking should be more aggressive. That being said I did make like 5 deliveries. Great job.

Honestly, the driving felt really great for a jam game. And in 3D, too! I did end up softlocking though, I fell over on my side, and resetting my vehicle kept me on my side. :sweat_smile: Fun little entry!

The best strategy so far seems to be to just floor it over the hills directly where the arrow points you. I didn't notice any speed reduction out there, so I offroaded for a while. A lot more forgiving than Euro Truck Simulator! I drove about 4 routes and am a millionaire now. Sweet!

Driving felt a little clunky at times, especially under breaking, but I had solid control most of the time. Nice effort!

Very fun little game! I think it would benefit though from some penalty to just flying across the grassy hills lol. Otherwise, very impressive!

It was fun to play for my. I liked the big open world map. Control was good. I got fun seeing how AI drove vehicles)

This was quite impressive having a minimap with a working GPS for pathfinding as well as some basic traffic and racing opponents! It felt like those simulator games combined with arcade style racing! I did find it tough to stop myself just zooming over the hills but water being an obstacle and keeping my balance to stay ahead was pretty fun! My only complaint? I wanted ramps for some air time!

Really well done though, selecting missions/races was a nice way to let me feel like I had a choice in what I was doing too. Good fun and very impressive for a jam especially!

The programming on this entry is definitely solid. I'm impressed that you had some halfway decent AI in the game as well as all the features @sarah-alexa mentioned above.

10/10 would survive head-on collisions at 90mph and deliver my haul successfully again.
