Very fun little game! I like the simple concept. The game's difficulty is perfect! It really feels like an arcade game, and the high difficulty really amplifies that vibe. The scores and medals are a nice touch, too! My only criticism is that there isn't a restart button, so if you're trying to go for a perfect run where you don't get hit and you fail, you have to wait until you reach the finish line if you want to retry. Other than that a fun and enjoyable game. Good job!

How does the game fit the theme?
It's driving a truck from A to B while not losing any cargo. What could go wrong?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

The idea is good, but the movement feels kinda unresponsive. Maybe give the player more freedom and ability to move quickly. Otherwise doging those fast cars can feel impossible, random and frustrating.
Simple fun game. It looks great too, though maybe the cars are a bit too hard to avoid.
Ok the other characters are moving too fast and I didn't find a way to avoid them but a good work for one week project.
I really enjoyed the audio and feel of the game. It'd be cool to see an oncoming traffic warning. That said, you did a great job making the game. Thanks for putting in the effort.
Loved the game, simple and fun, I think it would be nice to see some indicators of where cars will come from. as they are very fast, it's hard to dodge them honestly. Also left hand traffic felt really weird lol
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
I did have an idea about a rear-view mirror at the top of the screen, but didn't have time to implement. Not sure about something similar for traffic ahead of the player, but I'll have think.
I live in New Zealand, so left hand traffic was just the default for me. Didn't even consider right hand traffic until late in the jam.
Fun little game. I really like the detail with the score and medals, as well as the visuals, I love the retro style !
That was a quick fun game! I really like the artstyle and music behind it.
I would suggest maybe adding an indicator before cars come to give some time to react but other than that, it was very fun!
I was always being told to take care will driving, especially taking care of what others do and that reflect that perfectly :), Nice visuals, fell polished. Great work.
Great style. Nicely polished foundation. Just needs a little play balancing for responsiveness, depending on whether you want players to be able to dodge incoming cars or not.
cool aesthetic! I tried to get gold on time, but I couldn't. What is the time requirement for gold?
I love how you visualize losing cargo! Definitely can see the fun in this game
Fun game, and can be better if left/right can be turned faster.
The safest path is off the road! Hahahaha
Love the visuals, they feel pretty unique. It was difficult to avoid the cars haha, great game!
