Screenshot looks nice. Very pleasant graphic style. But can't actually play, since I don't have Windows :sob: Any letsplay video?

What a fun entry I played a few times trying to beat your high score. Driving felt good, I am glad you didn't let me drive off the edge! The boxes seemed to push the other boxes a bit better than the dozer sometimes. I found it best to use a pile of boxes to push other boxes. Great entry!

This is an oddly relaxing game. Really nice sound!

Had a very fun rampage with that dozer. Excellent coffee break game! :smile: :coffee:

Simple, understandable - and fun! Perfect match for the theme!

I liked this game. The visuals are simple yet sufficient. The same can be said about the mechanics. The superpower that destroys boxes is an excellent solution. Progression is also noticeable. Good entry!

The most fun game I played until now, my best was 221 points! Simple, well polished and fits the theme really well. Congratulations!

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.

231! I took a few tries. This was fun. I didn't realize I had a special until my third run, which was a big game-changer. Well done :clap:

A fun little game, graphically it looks pleasant, it's fun to play, good job!

Very fun game, I think the music might've glitched but the idea was good, and the special was very fun to use. The mechanics are smooth and the game keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

(Note: It took me many attempts to get the game to download, might be worth hosting a copy on github releases too)

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 :)

Fun game, love that is physics based but not janky! :D

Simple and well done. It's a real simple gameplay (which is always a good idea) and it's easy to grasp. But it is hard to progress efficiently. I feel it's well paced. Good job!

My best was 169 btw.

Very cute little game, I really enjoyed the audio. I found the hitboxes between the dozer and the boxes a little frustrating - I struggled to get higher than mid-80's (I think my top was 86). But well placed and fits the theme well!

What a cute little dozer!

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!

Simple, fun, addictive, and relaxing! Really awesome!

Cool idea that is well executed. I think the main thing that could be improved would be to work on the progression. With different levels or something a bit more tangible to make it feel that you are progressing in the game. Otherwise well done on a polished entry!

In my opinion, the boxes fill the space too quickly, and a relaxed and meditative gameplay would make this game even better. However, the game is quite exciting!

the idea was implemented very well, my praise to the developers
fun, fun, fun
