Ranked from 10 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
We incorporated the theme of generosity by telling the real-life story of Salim Khan, a humble mechanic from Rajasthan who selflessly delivered food, water, and medicine to remote desert villages during the COVID-19 lockdown. Without expecting money or recognition, he drove hundreds of kilometers in his pickup truck, becoming a lifeline for those in need. The game/story highlights his acts of kindness, showing how one person’s compassion can bring hope to many — a true reflection of generosity in action.

Okay wow, you did a fantastic job! It felt just the right amount of tension and accomplishment with the game play. I think you have a good  feel for it.

Would you consider letting players know a bit of progress feedback? The level duration feels right to me, but right now when you lose the cargo, you have to restart the whole level. I think you can easily increase the game's accessibility by just gently giving feedback on how much longer they can expect to last to complete the challenge. But this is a personal preference.

Loved every minute of the experience!

I love the way you put it into a story and it is touching. l also LOVE your visuals. I like the way you let the title name show on the title screen. It's movie-like! Good game.

wouldn't have known about the generosity of this incredible human being if not for you choosing this context! gameplay has a fair bit of challenge, and I agree with the other comment; a UI indicating your progress in the journey would go a long way in elevating the gameplay experience! (although traveling long distances without seeing an end in sight seems to be part of the context)

well done!

Surprisingly tricky to keep the box in the car! I had fun trying to figure out how to balance my speed to keep the box from flying out. Really neat how you based this game on a real person's story!
