A big, big thank you for all the feedback. I've taken it all on board and I think the vast majority have made it either into the next big release or the ideas backlog. I've started with the most important thing: it's a bastard to drive. While it's a bastard to drive then everything else: fighting, exploring and collecting Flotsam is a pain in the arse.

A charming little game about piloting this odd land ship across a post apocalyptic landscape. At first you have to fuel it to keep it going by running around inside pushing buttons to run the generator and releasing steam loading new fuel and then stopping to grab more fuel off the ground as you roll along. Then you get sails that allow you to use wind power and as you progress more and different upgrades.
