Fun game, It took me a while to figure out what I had to do regarding putting items in the truck. It might have been helpful to have the tutorial board explain that you have to use the mouse.

The concept is great and the music goes well with the mood of the game. The only issue I had is that the collisions are broken when you run over a zombie and it makes the items fly all over the place. But otherwise really fun game

Very nice idea and beautiful explosions. Hitting zombies feels like running over minecraft players xD
The camera controls while packing are however a bit annoying. Maybe it would be better to use the mouse (maybe while holding right click) or something... as a suggestion :)

I like the models, but there is no option to rate it

Interesting mix of genres, altough the main part of loading things into the truck is a bit confusing.

Very fun concept!

The truck steering feels so good, you got the feeling of inertia right on spot!

Pretty fun game! I like the concept a lot, and the physics actually feel really great. Good job!
That said, I think the execution could use a little work - the hitboxes were wonky enough that I kept getting stuck on what appeared to be nothing. Additionally, The aesthetic of the game makes me think that it would be very fast paced? But in actuality you can't really do that and perform well. Like I said though, really awesome job. I did not expect to see physics this decent from a game jam creation.

Great game! Gameplay is challenging. I liked the driving mechanics. Bumping on the road is hilarious and fun.
