The pedestrians turn green when you have enough speed. I found that dodging the obstacles is a bit trickier when at low speed, gotta tap pretty fast to keep straight line. If you are on mobile, it’s even harder since left and right cancel each out, couldn’t get it to work proper in time for the jam. Might adjust the starting/default speed higher, but the swaying is the main gimmick of the game, so probably not touching that.
