Gnome Cargo by ArcherOfFaith

Ludum Dare 56's "tiny creatures" theme inspired me to create Gnome Cargo, a chaotic delivery game where you're a truck driver in a gnome-filled garden
Your mission: deliver goods, but watch out! This garden is quite fragile
Gnome Cargo is a blend of destruction and delivery, with a touch of whimsical chaos. Get ready to experience the thrill of wreaking havoc in a miniature world!
Controls are simple: WASD moves the truck, Space lets you jump, and Shift honks the horn
I recommend using PC build from itch.io, because web is too heavy for some reason
P.S. This jam was quite a challenge! It was my first time using Godot and I pushed myself to create a complete game rather than stick to minimalism for the sake of simplicity. Last hour was real rush, and I didn't have enough time to make level properly

Overall I liked the game, there is also potential for development after the jam. You can come up with a lot of cool things if you keep going! Here is bros swimming)
There is a certain pleasure in running over them
Congratulations on your game

The sound is also very nice, makes the game feel complete - you didn't really leave anything out even with the compo constraints!
I also found the controls a bit difficult (I think I was expecting 'steering' controls where W accelerates you and A/D turn you left/right). Coupled with the short 'look-ahead' distance I often found myself running into a gnome that I didn't really feel I had any chance to avoid.
Really impressive compo entry though (especially as a first time using godot) it feels very complete!
(Also before quitting the game I went on a mad gnome killing spree racking up loads of debt and that was fun too :P)
You should have probably used a different color than yellow for the indicator of the place where you need to deliver your cargo, and eventually make that indicator bigger as it gets lost in the truck itself.
Cool idea!
