This is awesome.

I had a lot of fun with this one. The fact that you added a stopwatch to the levels tells me you know exactly who your audience is. The high max-speed of the truck, and the lack of punishment for hitting walls, made it really fun to find a fast way through these levels.

That being said, I'm not sure I agree with the addition of the explosion trailer. I'm not sure it added a whole lot to the levels it was included in. I'd prefer to see a "challenge time" to each of the levels as an alternative, and maybe the "harder trailer" could just be longer.

But still had a ton of fun with this and it's very polished for 48 hours. Great job!

This game was very cool, a unique concept I've not seen before and quite polished. The art was good and clearly conveyed the game's purpose, and I really liked the interpretation of the theme! Unfortunately, I was not able to complete the first level. The difficulty was a bit too much, though I'd like to think I got close! I still enjoyed it a lot. Good job!

This is a really cool game, and a great idea on the concept. I found this super tough! But this could be a me thing, I spent probably 20 minutes on the first level to eventually do it in a minute and a half, which felt great as it is quite tough! Then the second level was also pretty tough! I got to level 3 and had to stop there unfortunately but will check this out later on as I do want to beat it! Awesome job! :D

An interesting idea, but the learning curve was a bit sharp, even from the beginning. Also, I wasn't entirely sure whether I was supposed to get the cargo onto the platform or the vehicle itself, so it was a bit confusing to see the "next level" screen when both were touching the target point after struggling to move the vehicle backwards with the cargo for a good couple minutes.

Love the concept, controls, and presentation, but would have liked an easier way to tell which side was which on the truck, and a little more forgiveness when connecting to the trailer. Overall a good puzzle game :D

Like another commenter pointed out definitely feels like one of those rage games that could end up popular on Twitch, it controls well, looks good, and feels pretty polished in general, unfortunately not my kind of game so I can't speak too much more on it in detail, but, it is a well-executed and very solid entry, well done!

I am really impressed with the artwork and the physics of this game. I loved the parking mobile games so this hits home for me. I didn't really think about this type of game for this jam but it fits really well. Nice work!

Omg, I'm having flashbacks. I used to be the only one who could successfully back up my band's trailer. This accurately represents that feeling. Nice job!

This feels like a rage game. I really appreciate the work that went in here - the controls felt tight and well tuned and I can see this working well for people who like rage style games. This might do well on Twitch. For me though it was like parallel parking anxiety on steroids. Still, I'll give you good ratings for a good execution even if its not my cup of tea.

Really impressive amount of work done, it was a little bit too hard for me but I imagine that was the point :)

Really polished presentation and I love the idea. I couldn't get past the first level unfortunately because the input would frequently cut out, leaving me unable to control the truck.

That's really weird! Were you using keyboard or gamepad controls for the game?

I really just want all of the cones to be explosives. XD Nice work.

An Original take on the theme

The game is really polished for 48 hr game jam, great job on that!

The levels were really hard though, I would suggesting putting the cones a little further to make space for the truck and make the levels easier.

Overall a great entry to the jam!
