I love this style of games, I think my only gripe is that sometimes buildings would spawn in the middle of roads that I had already placed. Essentially ruining my road designs. Still overall a really cool game.

Maaan, i've loved this game, few mechanics, funny to conncet roads and control traffic and then avoid crashes... i think i would be better with some objectives and penalities but is enjoyable anyway

Upload more screenshots, this logo do not show how interesting the game can be

I definitely built a Big Road Company. It was awesome, billboards as far as the eye can see! Capitalism at it's peak. Hahaha, great game and fun idea. Well done!

Well done. The music choice along with the visual and sound feedback the player receives for scoring makes this game both relaxing and rewarding.

I found it a bit difficult to find where car crashes where happening because there lacked a visual indicator, for example the sprite of an explosion or the cars blinking before disappearing.

Developer

I noticed that more visual feedback would’ve been better during gameplay but i didn’t think of that when coding, woops

I was really enjoying it - then I noticed the cars kept crashing into each other, which was costing me money! Was there a way to prevent that? Or do I just have to accept it?

Nice game! I like the music, and controlling the flow of traffic and trying to make it as efficient as possible is fun. I think it might add to the fun if there were more ways to manipulate traffic, like adding stop signs and lights and what-not. You could also add to the challenge of trying to prevent jams by adding different types of vehicles that vary in size, speed and/or durability.

Having cars be able to move through houses and bill boards was a bit confusing.

There was an odd occurrence where I would randomly get 100 or 200 cash for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a feature that I was unaware of. Also, for some reason I couldn't click the buttons in the pause menu (might have something to do with playing it in a browser, but I don't know).

The art style is a bit lacking. It would look a lot better if the road lines (and vehicles) always pointed in the direction of the flow of traffic, rather than always facing to the right.

Good job!

The game was originally supposed to have traffic lights but i couldn’t find out how to make that fit into a 32x32 tile so i asked one of my art friends who didn’t respond and forgot about that feature

The cars moving over were a bug because i was too lazy to figure out how to make the cars not pathfind into the buildings ;P

to 100-200 cash is actually always 200 cash that you get when a AI building spawns

The menu not having mouse click is because i just outright stole the menu from one of my other games, which only used the arrows keys and enter

Technically, These are all dev textures since one of my art friends were supposed to make things (they only ended up being able to make the car, which is it looks out of place) I’m PRETTY sure i can make good looking sand and water but i just cannot get the willpower to make grass The cars should rotate instantly but you can press R to spin the roads

I had a lot of fun with this game, well done

Reminds me of mini metro i love the chaos that occurs after a few minutes nice work. Good luck!

Developer

Unsurprisingly, Mini metro was one of the inspirations for this game ;P Glad you had fun playing it though!

Submitted

Was fun, take price in your work!

The art and sounds arent that great, but the gameplay is quite good

haha yeah i made them all in a hurry when i realised the game was silent and i didn’t have much time left (You can turn down the volume with “-” and “+” because of how haxeflixel works though)For the art, i had planned to get someone to help me with it but they were busy
