This totally feels like a mini-arcade game found in a Sierra game, like Space Quest. Really fun.

My current high score is: 2526

Developer

nice score, thanks for playing!

Fun and fast.  A stage transition where you have to fall into Korben's cab would of brought this up to the next level.

Developer

thanks! Great idea! 

Short but sweet. Like the sense of speed.

Developer

Fun game! Liked boosting between the tight gaps of the vehicles. Definitely felt like an old-school arcade game.

Developer

thanks!

Super intense! The boost mechanic to just squeak by the oncoming traffic is great! Great concept and love the colors! 

Developer

thanks for your support!

Cool Game !! but isn't the hit box a bit too big but yeah it was great it feels so arcade like and made me imagine the insert coin from arcade machines

Developer

yeah maybe I will reduce the hit box in the future :) thanks!!

I had fun playing your game. It is simple, and fun, yet also strangely addicting. It would be cool to see cars come from both sides of the screen. Also my highscore was 3487.

Developer

wow nice score!

I enjoyed it really much! I like the concept where you are a falling human and there are flying cars! The pixel are was spot on, I tip my hat to you.

Developer

I liked the art and music of the game, along with the arcade-style gameplay. The hitboxes were a little big, but besides that minor issue, it was very fun. Well done!

Developer

thanks for playing and for the feedback!
