Wow! What a unique concept! I'm probably the 100th person to tell you that - but I seriously hope you win in originality.
I feel like you guys made a very deliberate choice to try to stand out from other games in all three categories, because the art style and gameplay is very different from other games too. Depending on the person, I could see them loving or hating these choices.
Most notably, it took me a while to realize that maybe the point of the game is not order, but chaos! This can be quite fun if the player fully commits to it, but it is up to the player to realize that is what they are aiming for rather than order.
My only suggestions would be that I wish there was a better onboarding for the player both in terms of controls and purpose. The controls can be very confusing until you read the description below, and the true purpose of the game is not immediately clear to the player - maybe that's the point but I can also see many players getting turned off before they reach that realization. Of course, this is a very ambitious concept so it is hard to get players to understand that without simply telling them. It's an interesting design discussion.
Overall very original, unique, and well implemented concept for this 48 hour game jam.
I would love your rating / comments on my game as well, so I can know what to improve.

Kube a la NeonBefore playing this, I didn't know what a chaos simulator was. Now I do!! This was way too fun, with great visuals and humor (MY LEG!!!). I laughed my head off pretty much the whole time playing, it was so great. How many individual lines of dialogue are there, I kept restarting just to see what new things the poor townspeople were shouting at me!
By the way, we played your game on our stream tonight!

Nice HaulThe idea is very good, but my experience of controlling three cars at the same time is not very good! All in all, the graphics and creativity are great, if the feel is better, I will want to play

WarTornLet there be chaos!
What a really fun and chaotic game. I wanted to focus on the game but I was too busy laughing at it, I'm sitting here looking like a baby with a controller that takes control of all vehicles in the town! Come to think of it, this game would have been an amazing take at last year's GMTK Jam with the Out Of Control theme, it would be just perfect!
By the way, super creative intro cutscene. Gave me a simple heads-up to the game's story and its aesthetic is really stylish! Also, super freaking funny xD
Wonderful job, gotta add this one to my top 20 favorite games from the jam!

Magic Crochet FoxOh my gosh, this is the best game in the jam I've seen. The way each mechanic leans into eachother is so clever. Running over people means more people to collect with the ambulance, but then more criminals and fires.. Oh gosh. I was in a perpetual state of "Oh No" and it was beautiful.
Excellent art and presentation and feel, so good.

Right to Bear ArmsIt's fine if you run people over with the ambulance, as long as you do it slowly.

Blue Pelican DownThe best way to stop crime is to just run the criminals over with the ambulance.
