Haha, loved it! On my fifth playthrough I got in a very frustrating lock between two cars: http://i.imgur.com/q81CnQV.png But I finally got my casualties down to one life once I got a hang for the horn and the brakes. I was surprised that the controls are actually fairly deep. 5/5 for fun.

Awesome! Yeah the controls and handling of the truck were one of those things I spent the most time on, as well as the first thing I worked on. Glad you liked it!

That was fun! I only noticed horn in the second playthrough so first was quite tough. Monks everywhere surrounding me!

Loved it! Had some trouble with the controls at first, but once you get the hang of it it really is a fun game.

We have had a doozy of a day. Uh, there we were, mindin' our own business... when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, these kids started killin' themselves all over.
I tried so hard not to kill those crazy monks, but, alas, they had other plans.

First entry that made me play several times in a row to complete it flawlessly, good!
I only wish graphics were a bit better, other cars behaviour more... erhm... car-ish and horn had some kind of limitation (right now it's just spamming).

I think there should be an arrow pointing to the destination. On my last playthrough, 4 civilians surrounded me and I can't move. It was quite funny though.

Cool game, took me a few tries but at last I beat it without any casualties. The horn-honking mechanic was a nice and clever twist.

For some constructive criticism, I think the 3/4 perspective is a little disorienting, even though you solved being behind tall buildings by making them translucent. I think would have preferred a pure top-down perspective.

Overall, a fun little game and good job! :)

Good job on finishing this game. I have to say I didn't enjoy it as much as the other commenters.

I love the end screen, and to answer it: it felt great. :)

I killed so many people before I learned to use my horn! I love the jaywalker and car behaviors. Really funny moments.

It needs a bit more polishing, but grat game. 5/5 for Humor (it was a great idea)

I had a lot of fun playing this game. Really loved the honk mechanic! But try to make a bit more car sprites next time.
