Thank you so much for the feedback! To be honest, I wasn't very excited about the gameplay loop either, so I stopped working on the game a few days into the jam. 😅 As for the stoping the car as they first appear, I know it stops the traffic forever—it was a quick fix for another problem I was facing, lol. The only "penalty" for doing this is that your score will be low if you complete the game that way since you gain a multiplier for each car that successfully passes.
