Great usage of the theme! I love the concept of being a crossing guard and having to dodge the cars. Definitely got a couple of laughs out of my deaths. The only gripe I have is with the tank-style controls making it difficult to move left and right change the open car directions quickly during rush hour. I feel like a locked camera perspective and being able to move up down left and right with wasd would suit the game better? Regardless, I had a really good time!

How does your game fit the theme?
Our game, Crossroad Chaos, fits the theme "Calm Before the Storm" by representing the contrast between the peaceful start of a day and the hectic rush hour traffic that follows. At the beginning, traffic is light and easy to manage, but as the day progresses, the pressure builds and the storm of vehicles and pedestrians intensifies. You, as the traffic officer, must maintain order amidst the growing chaos. The calm of the morning is soon replaced by the storm of rush hour, where every decision counts!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The entire development programming and design of Crossroad Chaos was done by our team (Alan & Geros) during the game jam. We created some of our own UI assets (title, arrows, keyboard buttons) but also utilized Syntys Polygon City for the art assets to quickly bring our vision of a bustling city to life. All sound effects were sourced from royalty-free assets on freesound.com, and the music tracks are royalty-free assets from the following sources:
