I'd give this game a 5/10 in it's current state, which I don't think is necessarily bad, I just think this early on I should be generous with my thoughts on this game's future, because it definitely has potential. My thoughts are: - Simple graphics are nice, but it would be nice to have clarifications of what things are if we were to hover our mouse over them or a mechanic like that. - Controls are a bit "mechanical." Although they are deceptively simple, doing things requires a bit of getting used to the controls, which in my opinion, are a little awkward and could be rearranged or reformatted in a way that facilitates quick and smooth actions that feel more natural to navigate quickly and efficiently. - Small thing, but when the car goes straight upward or downward it becomes visibly smaller than if driving diagonally or horizontally. - This game is what it promises, a more casual relaxing type of game, but I would like to see in the future perhaps a more chaotic mode, where natural...

About This Game
The Short Trip pays direct homage and inspiration from games like The Long Drive and Desert Bus, using the visual style of PICO-8 games, and being created in Godot.
In The Short Trip, you will drive vehicles until you reach the end of the road.
Items are intended to be rare, you must keep track of your food and thirst.
Maintaining your vehicle is paramount, as crashes will slowly deteriorate your vehicle until it is inoperable. It will also burn fuel.
Inventory management is a core feature. You cannot hoard, so you must only take what you need. Taking too much will slow your vehicle down.
All vehicles come with upsides and downsides, which you will find through gameplay. All vehicles are viable, but some are better than others.
Death is permanent, there are no respawns.
