I've posted a revised version incorporating everyone's feedback as best I could! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Submitted

I enjoyed just driving around for a while before I figured out how to actually collect the flowers. Then I drove into the ocean and lost all my flowers, which was sad. It took a while to figure out that you're supposed to return to the spawn point with loads of flowers.  I didn't have any sense of why I was supposed to be murdering and collecting every flower in the area, either story or gameplay-wise, so collecting flowers felt less rewarding to me than just bouncing and rolling around on the grass like a happy dog. The truck physics was fun!

Submitted

Loved playing this although leaving the garage seems to crash the game. I could also use more UI to explain the progress I was making

This is such a special game. This brought back the best memories of things like Lego Island. Loved the ability to collect different types of flowers from different biomes, as well as having those combos unlock different truck customization.  The background music was also so damn cute, I kept humming it to myself after playing!

I wish the truck was just slightly easier to control! I kept accidentally getting stuck on stones and fell once into the ocean after trying to collect the orange poppies last. 

The Customization screen also seems to make the game crash, not sure if this is just a Windows issue, or if it's present on all OS.

Very fun concept! I loved the idea of being a flowers-rover.

The controls were a bit janky although it added to the fun of it, I flipped so many times xD. Loved the jump and rush mechanics, very mako-esque from Mass Effect.

The terrain could be a bit more even as the small wheels aren't big friends with the sharp hills  (potentially bigger wheels in the future?) Loved the exploration element and finding new flowers! The blades closed a bit too fast and had a bit of trouble collecting flowers on uneven surfaces as well.

Unfortunately the game had many crashes for me (mainly in the "store"), and I could not use the truck-repaint element. Loved the "Frontier Flower Recovery" sign on the back of the truck, added a lot of charm :p

I wish it had a counter while you were collecting the flowers so it helped you track the objectives a bit more.

Fun submission! Great concept!

Super cool! The low-poly models are really nice, and the big environment is fun to drive around in.  The driving controls are a little janky but being able to jump is nice!

This game's pretty fun! The car is a little wonky at first, but it get's fun to drive as you learn it. Like others have said, the game crashed when I tried to select a customization option. The only other suggestion I'd make is to allow me to hold the blades out when driving around. I feel it would make collecting big fields of flowers even more satisfying. Great job!

Submitted

I love the sounds, it's really satisfying to collect flowers. Too bad for the customization feature crashing, but fun game.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

At first, I was a little surprised at how the flowers were collected, as it looked like doors were being opened.  Unfortunately, when I tried to choose a new design, the game crashed.

Developer

Sorry about the crash, I didn't test the release build enough ๐Ÿ˜ข
The lasers coming out the side were supposed to be scythes but I agree, they don't read that well

Submitted

No problem, it was a fun surprise. =D It still was fun to play.

Submitted

I'm bad at driving the truck. I drove all the way to the top of the cliff, then drove down and drowned in the ocean

Developer

If it makes you feel any better, I too drove off the top the first time I made it up there ๐Ÿ˜”

The game is satisfying to play, i love the sound when you collect flower,  just needing to spam clicking left click to collect all the flowers while moving feels a bit annoying as i keep missing some flowers, just like what other people said, the game crashes when i tried unlocking a new color, other than that, great job on making the game :>

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I tried buying a new item and the game crashed.

Aside from that, I enjoyed exploring the island to find different flowers further out. I think having an indicator where the garage is to return would be a nice quality of life. Part of me felt the steering of the van to be clunky and another part of me liked the jank of bouncing all over the place. Maybe because it took awhile to get up to speed but it does slow down quite a bit on hills. The detail of seeing the boxes fill up with flowers was a nice touch. Cause the game crashed, I wasn't able to buy an item but I was thinking upgrades for the truck that were more than palettes would also have been fun. Definitely enjoyed myself.

Developer

Thank for trying the game out! I went back and forth about the sloppy driving but decided it was more fun if it driving was janky and leaned into it with the bouncy wheels. 

If I flesh this game out I will definitely add upgrades!

Submitted

Yeah definitely see what you mean. I think it'll be great if you hit a balance between it being janky and bouncy and also not feel stiff if it happens to be in a bad situation. Funnily enough reminded me a bit of going full speed on Halo's Warthog.

The game crashed when I tried to purchase a new item.  But I think overall  it's a fun idea, and I like the color palettes. 

Developer

Thank you for trying it out! I'm sorry about the color palette crash, it only happens in the exported release version which is not was I was using for testing ๐Ÿ˜ณ
