Hectic in a fun way! It might be a skill issue on my end, but sometimes feels like the cars don't stop when I click them?
Otherwise, good game, very arcadey
I think it has to do with an issue another commentor said that areas and collisonboxes sometimes get harder to click on faster objects. Will look into it, thanks for playing
what an enjoyable (and difficult!) small game. looks perfect for touch interfaces, very challenging with the mouse. chuckled at the cars going in reverse, the sound of the honks and the glitch of the restart button going down at every replay (was looking forward to see how low it could go!)
nice entry!
i noticed that ui button issue after submitting, will fix that after vacationtime xD thanks for playing
This was definitely a fun game. Music in the main menu hits HARD. Sound design is simple but just works.
It spikes so much in difficulty in level 2 btw.
Great entry!
Really fun game! I like the visuals, but I think a few of the cars that go from the bottom of the screen to the top look like they're driving backwards. That's just a minor detail though, it's still a very solid game.
They do drive backwards, its a bug, but one I did leave in on purpose because I did think it was kind of funny and fitted the chaos of the setting. Thanks for playing!!
Fun little game. It escelates quite quickly, which I didn't mind. Good job!
Thanks for playing!! ^_^
Simple but with interesting strategy. The Easy level could have less of a delay between cars and the hitbox to click on the car could be more generous. Once they started to get going it was easy for it not to register right. I had the same problem in my game with fast moving statibody2ds. A good start that could easily be refined into a fun mobile game.
Thanks for playing! I wanted to ease players into it in level 1. I agree the delay can be hefty. The clickable area's are actually Area2D's instead of the bodies. I could resize them quite easily I think (currently they just extend to the sprite size upon spawn)
Simple yet addictive! Game can get even fun if the different vehicle types have their own properties. For example trucks have high inertia so it would take longer to brake into a stop, or ambulance having top priority so it cant be stopped. The potential is limitless! Neat little game overall!
I would love to do something with vehicles types, definitely, currently they are just random sprites that stretch their clickable area and hitbox to the sprite size. But all those ideas sound super fun! Thanks for playing!
The variety of cars makes it interesting, although it ending with one crash makes it be either perfect or bust, having so that if there is a crash on X or Y spot cars could go around and if you block a whole street its game over could make it more forgiving while also giving you more things to manage as a punishment
Thanks for the feedback, and I definitely agree with you! Thanks for playing!
I really enjoyed the concept of this, the only one like it in the jam (that I've seen). The art looks great, the sound effects are spot on, and it's really easy to pick up and get addicted to!
Thank you for the kind words, thanks for playing! <3
what a great game!! i love car games and this was super enjoyable! i liked graphics a lot and the concept is amazing! good job!
Thank you, and thanks for playing!
I absolutely loved the game! It's super addictive and just the right amount of challenging — really fun to play in short bursts. The pixel art is beautiful and the sound design is awesome!
Thanks for playing ^_^
really funny game.
Simple and creative take on the theme, well executed! I really enjoyed playing it, if you expand in future different layouts would be cool or maybe controlling pedestrians as well
Yea, definitely! Level 3 is a different layout already with another vertical lane, and Pedestrians were on the TODO list (My idea was to let them not be controllable and they would just be moving roadblocks when they would cross the street)
Thanks for playing!
I absolutely love this game! I like that the cars are all different sizes so it changes the way each level plays. Great work!
Thanks for playing! <3
Interesting idea. One of the cars drives backwards =p I'm not very good at it, but I made it to level 2. The short, vertical streets are challenging.
I agree that the vertical streets are difficult. I had an idea to popup indicators a few seconds before spawns happen to mitigate that, but it fell out of scope ^_^ Thanks for playing!
Really liked the game concept and execution! It was very fun to play, but way too hard haha! I would probably increase the cars hitbox, since hitting them (especially the small ones) is hard! The overrall is pretty good!
Simple, intuitive, and fun game! The concept was extremely enjoyable, and I got a laugh out of the cars going full tilt in reverse through the intersection. I think there's some great room for expansion here if you wanted, and more intersection types could be very interesting. But this was extremely well implemented.
Thanks for playing, the cars going in reverse sometimes was a bug. But I kept it in on purpose because I thought it was funny.
Super fun and interactive game! I can see myself playing this for a few hours, especially if additional lanes are added later! Really like the art as well!
Simple but fun game. The idea of a game where you have to control traffic sounds really interesting. If you iterate over it something interesting even better could come out of it. More variations in the vehicles like how fast they move, if they tend to stop slightly when in a crossroad, many good ideas could come out of it. It is small but I like that vehicles don't stop instantly they slow down. Good work!
These honestly all sound like good suggestions! Thanks for playing!
Fun game !
