Welcome to Courier Springs, a small town desolated by a recent sandstorm. This does not mean that people don’t want their stuff delivered! Be the hero this town needs!

Your objective is to get rich! So you have to deliver as many packages as possible per day.

When the day begins, you need to plan it. Choose what are the best packages to deliver and beware of traveling distances, because when the day ends, you need to pay for the gas you consumed.

Also note that the heavier the load you are carrying, the heavier the truck becomes.

Choose wisely and become the richest person in Courier Springs!

TIP: watch your speed for better handling! This is a delivery truck after all.

Controls:

* WASD * - To control the truck

* E * - Hold to the deliver the package

* SPACE * - Handbrake

* J / K / L * - Previous / Play/Pause / Next song

* P * - toggle shuffle mode

* Backspace * - Tow your truck back to the central. In case of you running out of the roads and being stranded. This totally never gonna happen. Ever.

* T * - Flip your truck back up after you, well, tumbled the truck.

The very good progress you have. The game reminds me of old Driver games. Like, you should get as many cash as you can driving in a big city. Same is here.

Few suggestions: car handling is quite hard, especially at a low speed. And I think you can make some indicators to the goal building, arrow above it or something similar.

Interesting game, the balancing is well done (at least for first few days).

The graphics and audio were good. Although I had a bit troubles with vehicle controls (yes, I flipped around way more often than I should). Anyways packages delivered! One thing that could be improved is camera controller, let me show you:

The camera could do a raycast to see if something is in front of it - and move towards the truck. This could prevent such situations where truck is not visible. Although this totally happens only when you follow roads!

It was actually quite fun for those few minutes.

Keep up the good work.

Good work here! I love the day night cycle, I can always appreciate those! Graphics needs some work but still, solid gameplay. I found it very difficult to figure out where I was supposed to go, the little arrow kept pointing directly up a steep cliff.

This was a nice idea, but I found it annoying that I had to handle the deliveries in a particular order, driving back and forth from one side of town to the other. I then got told that I earned $2600 and spent $2500 on fuel, which seemed a little unfair.

Nice idea ! The handling is weird though and doesn't feel that right :c Otherwise well played for a 72hours game !

Well this is a pretty fun game. Solid concept, good choice of music that helped set the tone. Graphical style is decent but there are some issues. Most notably the ground seems to flicker a lot while driving around.

Cool idea but the car physics are just horrible :D

Would have been awesome if the driver would yell at you when you roll over which you do a lot.

It was a bit hard to understand exactly which house the indicator was pointing at.

Good effort!

Interesting game! I like that you went for a story in the map environment. However the truck is very unruly, I guess this was the expected feel but men it was hard.

Are the gaps in the road unintentional? Because I totally trusted you that I wouldn't need the backspace. Up until I fell below the road.. haha!

Great effort!

It reminds me to "Paperboy" a little bit.
The physics is great and the graphics are clean and simple.
What i really like is the feeling of the car and the night / day cycle.

I like the idea, but the car controls are kinda horrible. Still, good work!

Pretty impressive little world considering the time limit, the handling on the vehicle could use a little work but otherwise it’s a fun time.

Great game for being made in 72 hours. You all did a great. I love the graphics and I even love the songs (even though you never made them, it was a good selection).

### Suggestions
- Make the links in the tools used (in the game) be either selectable or an actual link
- Make the music not start over once you leave the page and go back
- Make the restart (T) also be the R key (or make the start over key (backspace) be R and then T be backspace) (anything to make one of them R will be ideal)

Overall, cool game.

I enjoyed rolling my truck around this little town. I presume there is no ending? I played for 3 in-game days. It seemed most efficient to deliver the 2 or 3
heaviest packages. Maybe a combo multiplier could help incentivize delivery of the smaller packages.

I really had fun playing this one. The music created a fun atmosphere and the game is addictive. I thought the handling was perfect-- it's not a sports car after all! It feels like a lot of work must have gone into this game. Great job!
