Hi Chris, Jake, and Sean:
Not sure if you read your forums, but I thought you would appreciate some background/more information on Cart Life:
As far as I known, Joel Goodwin who writes http://www.electrondance.com was the first person to write about the game, or at the very least was the first person to really push the game. He wrote several articles about it and there's a section of his 2012 wrapup devoted to Cart Life:
http://www.electrond...me-of-the-year/
http://www.electrond...head-the-stars/
http://www.electrond...chard-hofmeier/ (Podcast interview with Richard Hofmeier)
http://www.electrond...he-2012-review/
Rock Paper Shotgun and Kotaku both wrote about the game:
http://www.rockpaper...hink-cart-life/
http://kotaku.com/5880215/
And so did Nightmare Mode and Games That Exist:
http://nightmaremode...hofmeier-17504/
http://gamesthatexis...-a-second-look/
And thanks to finding out about the game from Joel Goodwin, I decided to interview Richard Hofmeier for my interview podcast Dialogue Tree (which disclosure, is now a part of Electron Dance):

This is in no way an exhaustive list of all the writing on the game, but Kotaku and RPS were the only two big sites to cover Cart Life. I hope you find some of this information useful. I really enjoyed your conversation about the game and your reaction to it almost in real time--and I hope you cover Cart Life again. It is simply the most important game to come out in at least the past five years.
