I liked how I found myself having to destroy and rebuild paths to alleviate traffic. Might be cool with a sort of "endless" mode where there isn't a timer on individual sources and instead the goal is to like.. maintain a certain rate of entities sent.

Thank you for playing! It kinda intends to work that way, the timer starts when the flow rate of the source is not met because the path is already full. However, because the pathfinding has some bugs and could be greatly improved (it was my first time), and I only had time to test the game up to some score, it comes a point where the number of exits might not be enough to sustain the number of sources. I’d love to make it more playable by fixing the pathfinding and by balancing the spawns, that way it could truly be endless! I really appreciate the feedback :D

Thanks for playing! Do not stress about getting a high score, it’s about having fun! I didn’t know that it would go that high while I was making the game ahaha
My strategy is to just connect to portals at the start, then aggressively rewire portal in-degrees to exactly 3 in the mid game, and then just put out fires short-term in the late game by placing more roads until the 3-portals inevitably overflow.
EDIT: Got 3387 but at the very end I hit the road limit that I didn’t know existed.

Wow!!!! That’s incredible! Yeah I made it so more or less each portal could take 3 spawn points, and that you always have a bit less than you need so it feels hectic. And rewiring is definitely a great strategy. I didn’t even get that far so balancing from that point is pretty much gone ahaha. But this is awesome, congrats!

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Sound effects were literally next on the todo list ahaha but I’m not really talented with audio and I was running out of time, so something for another time ^^ Your game was so enjoyable!

Thank you very much for playing it! Keeping it simple was important for having a finalized game, but I definitely had more planned for it.
