A fun twist on the lane-changer genre. I agree with other commenters about maybe considering adding sound effects if its worked on anymore but I really enjoyed my time playing! Good job :)

Developer

Thanks for playing!

My favorite game in the jam. Though it needs sound effects.

Developer

Thanks!

I liked it! Though I wish there was some sort of scoring system like how long or far I traveled, that way there's a better incentive to play again and beat your highscore!

Developer

I was trying to add that (That's why there is a timer while you are playing the game) but when I looked at the time I started rushing and I forgot completely about the highscore system.

This game makes me go YES!

Nice little game, though I found that the collision on the walls was buggy, and I could fit my car half way through. Made it really easy to just dodge most of the cars, and then move out of the way if they were too close.

When not "dominant strategy"-ing it, it was a nice fun little game. Having some cars spawn in the middle is weird because I'm focused on the top of the screen.


The music is good, but I wish there were more sound effects. I didn't realize I had a health bar until 40 seconds because I didn't know I was being damaged.


The car sliding at the beginning is a nice touch too.


This game is pretty decent, especially for your first game jam. As for the theme though, I think it just *barely* fits the theme.


I liked it. :)

Oooh, I also wanted to add that it reminded me of my favorite mini-game from Pummel party where you have to dodge a ton of cars sliding down a hill.

Developer

thanks for the feed back! I will try to fix everything you said and more!

My vision isn't great with low contrast, so I had trouble making out the cars I needed to avoid. Otherwise I think your game is very charming!

Developer(+1)

Sorry for the inconvenience hopefully you had fun playing the game.

Good job, I loved the little details like the traffic lights, and the way some cars "activated" and zoomed ahead. Also, that little slide in at the beginning of a round is charming as I'll get out. 

The health system is a little odd, (I'd appreciate feedback that I hit a car.) Also, the other cars seem to spawn on top of each other a lot, but overall it works. 

Thanks for uploading, best of luck!

I was going to add some camera shake when you hit a car but I have never added camera shake to any game and while watching the tutorials the clock was ticking and I decided to not include it and fix some bugs. Thanks for the feed back thought!

I feel like this would look better with flat shading, like the game over animation!

Developer

Maybe! I will try that!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the mechanics and music. I think that it would be a little easier if all of the cars spawned off screen.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Love the crazyness, found it fun that you can just barely get out of sticky situations

Thanks for Playing!

nice game :) I like the music and car animation at the beginning

Developer

I put a lot of work into the music. Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted(+1)

Great effort! Love the music. The car spawning was a bit weird since they spawn right in front of you sometimes but other than was a solid foundation to add more features on.

Thanks for Playing!

i'm pretty sure that music in tutorial screen is much louder, but it doesn't matter because i love your game idea. If it's not a feature the only thing i would improve is how cars spawn.

Developer

the tutorial thing is a mistake but thanks for pointing it out. I appreciate the feedback!
