It Might be worth adding instructions on restoring fuel and health to your description / adding a tutorial screen, but the game itself plays really nicely.
Quite impressive work for ~7 hours of work!
I'm pretty sure some deliveries take more time to make than you gain seconds for making them, which is not a great feeling as a player.
I'd enjoy seeing this game developed more!
It took me a while to figure out what I had to do, but then it became smooth sailing. One way to improve this game is to make it impossible for the car to go off-road (it seems I could go anywhere on the map). Music could also use some variety. Just some suggestions if you want to develop this game further. Other than that, the controls are intuitive and it was challenging trying to get the delivery done in time without running out of gas.
Cute pixel art, solid controls, good sound. Amazing job!
