If you're looking for bugs to fix, then one that I came across is that the vehicle gets scrambled when you enter build mode on a not-so-flat surface. Oh, and if you want to get people to reply to your comments then make sure to tag them like this @Untitled-Studios :)
Good work! :)
It's far from polished - it's lacking music, there's no tutorial, the game doesn't pause in build mode and half the time it won't even let you enter build mode ("must be on flat ground"). So there's definitely a lot of room for improvement.
But it does the actual vehicle building really well. there are a lot of block options (most of which I didn't understand), and multiple methods of moving the vehicle around. It's missing an option to rotate the blocks (I'd like to have wheels facing sideways!) but there is still a lot of freedom in how you design and control your vehicle.
And at the end of the day, one really good mechanic can make even a buggy and unpolished game really fun to play.
I tend to be awful at these types of games, so my best design was a thruster on the bottom and left of the vehicle which I could use to steer myself above the map. My final score was 44216.
Great work.
