Good news! You're a truck driver, and you've been given some very lucrative contracts to drive some trailers around the city.
Bad news! You're a monster truck driver. There's no way you can attach the trailers to your vehicle. You'll just have to improvise, I guess.
Arrow keys or WASD to move around, Esc to abandon your current contract. Alt+F4 to quit.
Get the trailers to their rectangles before the timer runs out.

EDIT: A few people have been reporting problems playing with this game, so I've pushed out a bugfix release. You can now press Space or Return instead of clicking the button, and choosing "Fast" or "Fastest" quality will turn off the SSAO completely so the game should at least be playable. If anyone is still having problems, please tell me what they are so I can fix them too. :)

The controls for the game were difficult to use and I really didn't feel like the game fit the theme very well. It was an interesting idea to be a monster truck, but it just didn't seem to work for me.
I don't seem to be able to click past the instructions screen on Windows (clicking the 'Got it' button, hitting return or spacebar have no effect).
Really hard, but the truck is a joy to control. Makes it a fun experience!
I like this kind of art. Unfortunately the game was impossible to play because of performance issue, on my 2010 OSX laptop :(
The art style, although simple, looks really good. The game looks very crisp and modern.
Very interesting gameplay mechanic where you have to push the trailers. Getting the trailers to stay in the spot in the multi-trailer levels was quite tricky :p.
Cool idea and the car physics are better than other that i've seen today. Although the steering is inverted while driving backwards (I thik that is just a matter of how one thinks about steering). I had some issues with the trailers flying away.... and the trailers accelerated on their own, somehow.
I thought the premise of this game was very funny. The controls are pretty hard to handle. The truck turns too slowly and the trailers never go where you want them to, so the levels feel kind of tedious. Also, the trailers like to go flying off screen, never to be seen again.
Fun game, incredibly difficult to complete. The trailers (for me) tended to roll backwards, meaning it was more about aiming the trailers accurately and letting them roll themselves into the zone. I love the procedural levels, great aesthetic appeal! Solid entry, very well done!
nice concept! but it need somo modifications :s the controls are realy hard for such a "precise" job (that is part of the fun!) but after a few minutes it just get frustating and som of the trailers fly off screen in a "boom" nevertheless is a good concept!
it was interesting. the use of a monster truck being the monster. though the game controls were hard from the get go. liked the visuals though
Man this is difficult. I like the minimalist style. Small peeve of mine: the controls for steering backwards are inconsistent with the controls for steering forwards. Weird bug (?): on level 2 when I pushed the red trailer into the building too hard, i'm nothing sure if the thing exploded or the rigidbody freaked out or something.
Fun game overall! I enjoy the minimalist style. Hard to control though -- or maybe I just suck.
I like the minimialist graphics, and the idea seemed fun, but I didn't enjoy the physics much. The truck seems to turn the wrong way when reversing. There seems to be a bit of lag on the steering anyway. The trailers are very back-heavy, so if you hit them in the middle they pivot around the wheels. The monster truck would continue sliding when the controls were released, although trailers would come to a standstill. That is, when they aren't rolling away of their own accord. On level 2 one of the trailers exploded in a shower of physics when I pushed it into a building, then I noticed that the other trailer had rolled offscreen, never to be seen again. Oh well :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Windows Build cant be downloaded, 503 - Bad Gateway. Plz fix.
