Cute little game! the double entendre of the bug driving the bug was cute. Huge ramp up in difficulty around level 4/5, the bombs were super useful!

Nice game with good gameplay and controls. Well done!

Graphics are cute, gameplay is simple but work very well with only 2 buttons, and the physics is awesome for a little game like that it's well-balanced, realistic enough to believe it but not too much to be too boring !

Excellent game well done ! 😉

Haha, very cute :)

A bug on a beetle? Weird, but the game is very fun to play. I loved the way different gameplay can emerge (instead of pushing boxes, put the car under the box and let the box rebound without pushing).

Great twist of a simple game concept. It starts easy but gets pretty hard too. I also like the graphics. Well done.

Nice game! I don't mean this in a rude way but I had more fun they expected when I first saw it because I thought, how fun can pushing boxes be! Turns out, pretty fun. I loved the little speech bubbles that appeared. 

I did get yeeted off the platform at one point when a box fell on me at a weird angle, that was funny!

The UI is cute and the graphics in general! Nice job all around!

Nice game but felt like car vs boxes, but quite fun

A certain type of car though 😉

Thanks for the thorough testing and comment!

Cool game! I liked the graphics and the physics.

Very simple concept, but very polished execution. It was much more fun to play than I thought it would be!
I liked this a lot, so here's a dump of what I would do to improve gameplay:

  •  Greater visual indication of where the platform ends. Show more of the gap on each side and let the player see the boxes falling.
  • Don't spawn powerups/downs until X time has passed, and don't spawn them directly above the player.
  • Make the red/green outline around powerups/downs bigger and a different shade than the background.
  • Add patterns to the boxes dropping and cycle between those patterns.
  • Have a different, crunchier sound for boxes hitting the car vs hitting the ground.
Developer

Great suggestions, thanks!

Cute little game, I like it!
Well done

What an amazingly fun game! I loved the messages in the first level, they were fantastic!

Only issue I had was that sometimes the audio would cut out. Maybe because there were too many playing at once, maybe because my web browser is weird. Who knows?

Thanks! Audio does glitch a bit in some browers (I had this on Firefox).  Likely be due to the amount of procedural effects.  Maybe could be improved some with further optimization or more pregenerated effects.

Edit: Likely this could help.

Very fun game!

At first, I though it was going to be easier, but it surpriced me lol

Oh... beetles! Love the idea! I think this is fun and funny! Good job!

A bug in a bug! 

Very original idea, cute graphics, and fluid gameplay. It's a lot of fun! 

Well done!

I got caught off guard many times, don't get fooled by the apparent cuteness of the game. This is a nicely challenging one! well done, an out of the box way of interpreting "bug" game :)
