Interesting story, but the battles felt like they didn't matter and were just there as a time sink. The controls felt a little laggy when moving (you just tap and it only turns up in that direction) so this made the highway scene a little frantic.
Suggestion: I wasn’t a fan of the input lag for directions, and would have much rather preferred being able to turn and move in that direction as soon as I hit the key to do so. The enemies were far too ‘spongy’ (too much HP) and gave little reason to actually fight them (no items or money or experience).
