I like the concept. Sadly, it's not working on my computer. The game starts flickering and getting buggy after a moment, and I can't press the start button.

Huh, that's strange. Here, have an exe if you wanna see if that works any better: https://mega.nz/file/obYiyCCS#4-cV_2AKpo674Q4y1ujc1YWD3guqU-UzLrDDv-0fdI4

I *think* this might come with a debugger, if it does sending me any output messages would be appreciated.

No obligation expected of course but this is the first I'm hearing about this particular kind of bug.

Bug report! If you change a track's direction while a car is currently on it, things will go all sorts of messed up. The start point of the car will switch directions while the end point of it will keep going.

That's actually intended! At least to a point. I know it gets way more insane than intended, but in the spirit of the jam's theme (and jams in general) it seemed like an appropriate thing to leave in, especially since it doesn't keep you from "completing" the level. I appreciate the thought!

I like it, if there were more levels it could be a fun puzzle game.

Developer

Thanks! I was thinking about making it not a buggy mess and using proper physics in the future

I like the world shutter effect on the crossings!

Developer

It's a really simple script! if you use Godot I can share it!

I do not. I'm aware that it would be relatively simple, which makes it a great way to really add some crunch!

Excellent idea! I like the sudden escalation :)

Thank you!
