Overall very fun and I look forward to the full release. The cashier minigame was my favorite aspect.

A few points of feedback:

- The skid-steer loader (aka Rudy) is very sluggish to operate. The turning radius is far too wide, a skid-steer should be able to do very tight turns within a small radius. Aside from that it would be nice if you could hold down LMB while approaching a pile of sand so that you could pick it up as soon as you're in range. The overheating mechanic seems like an unnecessary gimmick to me since it's very predictable and just leads to a routine of LMB followed by RMB because you know the pipes will turn red as soon as you pick up sand. It isn't dynamic like pumping fuel or painting.

- Unable to change movement direction while mid-jump. While this makes sense in practical physics, I don't think I've come across a first-person game that doesn't let me change direction while jumping. It feels weird but hardly game-breaking. Just a small nitpick.

- The menu sound FX were a little loud. I had to turn it down to like 20 while everything else was 70-90. Especially pause menu sounds were a little too sharp and unpleasant to listen to.
