Haha, very cute :)
A bug on a beetle? Weird, but the game is very fun to play. I loved the way different gameplay can emerge (instead of pushing boxes, put the car under the box and let the box rebound without pushing).
Great twist of a simple game concept. It starts easy but gets pretty hard too. I also like the graphics. Well done.
Nice game! I don't mean this in a rude way but I had more fun they expected when I first saw it because I thought, how fun can pushing boxes be! Turns out, pretty fun. I loved the little speech bubbles that appeared.
I did get yeeted off the platform at one point when a box fell on me at a weird angle, that was funny!
The UI is cute and the graphics in general! Nice job all around!
Nice game but felt like car vs boxes, but quite fun
A certain type of car though 😉
Nice one, i already played it in the beginning and saw it on discord. Great work!
Thanks for the thorough testing and comment!
Cool game! I liked the graphics and the physics.
Very simple concept, but very polished execution. It was much more fun to play than I thought it would be!
I liked this a lot, so here's a dump of what I would do to improve gameplay:
Great suggestions, thanks!
Cute little game, I like it!
Well done
What an amazingly fun game! I loved the messages in the first level, they were fantastic!
Only issue I had was that sometimes the audio would cut out. Maybe because there were too many playing at once, maybe because my web browser is weird. Who knows?
Thanks! Audio does glitch a bit in some browers (I had this on Firefox). Likely be due to the amount of procedural effects. Maybe could be improved some with further optimization or more pregenerated effects.
Edit: Likely this could help.

Very fun game!
At first, I though it was going to be easier, but it surpriced me lol
Oh... beetles! Love the idea! I think this is fun and funny! Good job!
A bug in a bug!
Very original idea, cute graphics, and fluid gameplay. It's a lot of fun!
Well done!
I got caught off guard many times, don't get fooled by the apparent cuteness of the game. This is a nicely challenging one! well done, an out of the box way of interpreting "bug" game :)
Cute graphics and sounds! This was very fun to play, feels like the beetle was built for this game (its shape works well to bounce boxes off the platform).
Recording feature was a cool added bonus. Great work!
At first it seems to be easy but wait for it, those boxes started to appear really fast! I liked the car control and physics and how polished it feels. Nice job!
cute game! seems pretty polished. :) I only feel like it was pretty hard to control which kind of bubbles you collect
Thanks! You can beep (up arrow or tap the car) to blow the bad bubbles away.
I really enjoyed playing this game. I found it particularly satisfying to try and catch the boxes such that they'd rebound from the car off the sides (I liked trying to use the explosion power to my advantage too) :D Only suggestion I can think of is maybe to have some kind of score tracking so you can go for high scores :)
Great work!
Thanks! Scores is on the to-do list 😊
Nice game with nice concepts!
I loved trying all kind of “physics” between the falling objects and the angle of the player’s hit box
Love the art and the procedural sound is impressive. I enjoyed playing it, but I wish there is a little more to the game such as different obstacles, or maps.
Thanks! I got about as much in as I could in a month of spare time. Hopefully I'll get time to add to it after the jam. Lots of ideas 🙂
