Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
You need to do various things to a stranded truck in a desert to get it up and running

The atmosphere and presentation are awesome, I had a hard time understanding what to do or what was happening sometimes, but I really liked just walking around. The sound design was the highlight for me.

Atmosphere is really hard to get and you pulled it off in a very short time. Congrats

This game really put me in a mood, I was expecting some terrible things to happen but the only screamer was the end screen (I litterally jumped just because of a smiley...)
You nailed the ambience and the sound design is great !

I loved the graphics and the pixel shader, sound design was also good.

I guess it was my mistake but I expected this before playing and was very exciting but then very much disappointed, there was not any actual driving part! Also I was having trouble picking up items on my laptop’s tiny trackpad, you could have made it tap to carry, not hold to carry. I have the same comments as others.

Anyways, nice attempt and you really did set the atmosphere. Some gibdos coming from the darkness while you repair the truck would be a great extension to this.

Well Done!

The atmosphere omg! So bad you didn't have much more time, I felt a little lost and at the end I'm not sure how I ended up to be able to start the truck. In a sense it may be a perfect representation of what it would felt like in real life for me to be in this situation?  xD "where do I pay? is it full, is it ok? where do the oil go? I guess I can try if it works... what, it does??? yesss!!! ... wait how?? how??? what did I do???"

Good game, i  liked the visuals, but i did not know if i was actually interacting with things, i think something that let you know (maybe as a message) would be nice.

The sound effects and atmosphere of this game are great, I like how minimal it is so all the important sounds like the car doors opening and the truck starting are heightened. I also really like the simple graphics for the scene and that crunchy pixel art filter.

For the interaction, maybe something like 'press E to interact' over interactable could have been good. Also having the item centred on the cursor could have made it more clear what I was holding and where I was using it.

Developer

yea that would of been ideal, unfortunately i ran out of time for this jam. appreciate the feedback!

Unclear what you're able to interact with and if you're interacting at all, but the presentation was great, very atmospheric.
