I'm Driving My Truck by vilcans

made by vilcans for LD 40 (COMPO)

I'm just driving the truck. If those packages are too heavy for my truck, I get rid of them. I'm no postman. I'm a truck driver.

Use elevators to go up. You can use them to go down too, but gravity helps too.

W = accelerate

S = accelerate (but backwards!)

D = lean right

A = lean left

Space = honk (interact with pick-ups, drop-offs and elevators)

There is no end to the game, so play along as long as you like. Then hit escape. Have fun!

Update 0.1.1 Monday December 5th (bugfix allowed according to the rules): It was impossible to call one of the elevators, and possible to fall out of the world. Also increased contrast on background color a bit to make it easier to see.

December 26th: Added the web version

This is an mazing game! Lots of detail, great soundtrack, great sound effects, fun game physics!

It was all fun and games until I fell upside down like a turtle. :grinning: Is there a way to turn the truck around?

I really liked the sound and music for this game. Funny song! I wasnt really sure how to play well, I dropped my first package and then just drove around until I got stuck upside down. Still pretty full though, I bugged out the elevator!

Check out my game if you like! You shant regret it

## My thoughts:
* The soundtrack is really pleasing, I enjoyed listening to it a lot :smile:
* Sound effects (like engine sound) could be a little quieter
* Graphics are cool, especially the wheels of the truck!
* The game is pretty hard, because of the elevators, which are very wobbly

**Finally, I'm surprised that your game has such a small amount of reviews. It is a pity, since your entry is really noteworthy...**

Thank you all for the feedback! I've been a bad community member this time. Too many other things to do, so I haven't had much time to play other people's games. But I hope the ones who have played the game like it. I just made a web version so it should be more accessible.

Stick to the other one, sound is great :smile: and the horn. Bit hard but makeable. Needed some time to get into the packaging system :)

Feel free to rate our game too [Link](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/monogame-c)

Ett mycket roligt litet spel. Både musiken och grafiken är bra. Spelet är riktigt svårt, men det spelar ingen roll, eftersom humor är bra. Totalt sett ett bra litet spel.

The music, art, and weird elevator physics all combined together were great.

Nice! I dig the physics based gameplay, but the elevators felt pretty finicky at times and (much to the chagrin of the singer, I'm sure) I got stuck a few times. Would be cool to see some incentive to have multiple packages at a time, and maybe some rough directions or street signs. Great music too of course. Nice work!

I don't think I could have ever gotten a single package delivered. I really suck at physics based games like this :D
I love it though. It has so much character with the can wheels, soundtrack and everything. It reminded me of Sexy Hiking and similar awesome b-games. What a wonderful mess. Great job :)

This was hilarious. Loved the hand-made assets and the music.

It was hard and physics felt wonky but it fitted the whole mood, so that wasn't an issue at all.

Well done! Had a lot of fun with this one :-)

This is fun! I like the way the truck controls; it's neat to lock the wheel and flip forward :)
