Best I could do was 16 000, really like the idea

Sometimes a car would spawn without any shape to drive to. I think something was broken with the level generation. It's a shame too, it looked like a fun one to try, and couldn't have been that easy to make within a game jam. If you release another version, please let me know.

Thanks for playing! What you mention could very well be a bug with the level generation, or it could just be that the tutorial doesn't explain how the game works well enough. There have been many people misunderstanding the core mechanics, sadly. But I will look into it and see if it's a bug.

I am a huge fan of the mini metro / motorways games, and I think this is a super fun spin on that idea! I just wish it was a bit easier too see what shapes need to go where, I found it to difficult to tell which pieces need to be gotten by who

Overall it was a good game!

I wish that the mechanics could've been explained a bit more, because it took me a while to figure it out. Though maybe I'm just dense

It was certainly fun once I understood how it worked though. Good job!

Could imagine this alongside like a full on sim city or sim town. pretty cool!

Love the feel of this game, I could definitely see myself playing it on mobile. Good effort!

The game feel is on point, well done!

Cute and very polished, the minimalistic art just feels right with this game. Great job!

One of my favourite games I've played in the jam so far. I'm a big fan of Mini Metro/Motorways and I think you did a great job of capturing their style. Super-polished, fun and readable gameplay loop, and solid controls. Very fun :)

very difficult for me unfortunately, but really polished game!
I love the idea how you twisted mini metro, well done!
artwork, music, everything's great

Submitted(+1)

Very cool idea. Wish the icons were larger, I had to squint my eyes. Also would be better if the oldest car in the queu had some marker so the player knows where the priority is. Otherwise, great effort!

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving feedback! I totally agree about bigger icons, and your idea for a marker for the most urgent car would have been a great addition -I would probably have added it if I came up with that idea during the jam.

I love the minimalistic approach you took in the art of this game. The concept is also so unique and i love it!!


Please be sure to rate our game back as well! 

Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it.

Developer

Thank you very much!
And sure, I'll try out your game :)

Nice game,one of the best game i have played till now

Submitted(+1)

As others have said, great idea and it becomes super frantic once the cities start building up.

Very clever idea, this'll be one of the ones I return to after playing it once to rate it. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Nicely done! Execellent concept and execution

Developer

Thank you!

Great! I love this game!

Cool design really beautiful to look at! I don't think i really understood what to play casue i keep dying and i dont notice why! I collected the right shapes and then guided the car to the correct color but idk i was crashing into something. I'ts not very immediate at the moment but it could be a very cool game!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I definitely should have made a more comprehensive tutorial, and made different messages on the death screen depending on what the player lost from to make it more clear.
