It looks and sounds really good. One criticism is that it's unclear to me what traffic lights affect what cars? I also don't really understand how it fits the theme. but the game seems really cool though and it definitely has potential!

Oh, thanks for the criticism! I actually agree the game really needs a simple tutorial - many players might not realize they're controlling pedestrian traffic lights. When you press either of the two lights they affect one pedestrian crossing, so all the cars stop before this crossing.
In terms of the theme interpretation my design intention was: since traffic lights operate on a loop, the game becomes about maintaining that loop to prevent chaos
It's a fun game and very good use of the theme! The traffic got quite chaotic!

The Cycle - Never-Ending Office WorkThis turned to chaos very quickly on my first playthrough, but i have to say: losing feel very good because it's so fun to see all the mayhem occuring. Very fun game! Could use a little bit of tweaking because i often feel like the cars were stuck even with the light green.

Vanquish the DayCool game!
Really fun and good looking!
I really like what you did with the theme, and I enjoyed playing your game!
I hoped you could use the money for something tho... Otherwise well done! :D

Looped TapesThe pedestrian hit sound and animation is hilarious.
Also, is money just a representation of score? If so, I think it should just say score, I was kinda disappointed that there wasn't more game elements.

Loop RangerThanks for the feedback!
There were actually a few ideas behind the money mechanic—like repairing broken traffic lights or special pedestrians that require bribes to leave— sadly I had limited time during jam period, but still wanted to at least get a working version submitted - so these ideas got shelved for now
Loved frantic games and this was certainly a good one, love how i can treat pedestrians as casualties lol

Solid & NotSeveral pedestrians were harmed in the making of my high score :P
Clever take on the theme! Definitely a frantic management game, and my social reputation has taken more than a few hits as a result :P
