Awesome game!

The astroids are great, you telegraph them really well. It feels wonderfully apocalyptic
I think you might ramp the game up faster
I wonder what a version of the game would be like if you removed/reduced the other cars and just had a ton of astroids falling. Since the astroids falling is telegraphing the obstacles up ahead, you could have them generate patterns the player has to dodge through. I dunno just an idea
Controls felt good. 😎 so did collecting all that money.

Yeah, I pretty proud of that :) The one thing I would fix with asteroids is that right now it's possible for them to block you off completely, when the game gets more intense.
Ramping up the difficulty would definitely be one of the things I'd tweak if I had more time. Currently the function that returns "intensity factor" is rather simple.
If I were to spin this off into a larger project there would be different levels with slightly different rules. With traffic there is more chaos, and that's cool in moments where meteor-ejected car flies just over your head, but not that cool, when you get a meteor on half of the road and traffic jam on the other.
As for controls- I decided pretty early, that controls and camera just need to be really tight for a game like this. Right now there's no delay in camera movement, and no delay in turning.

Thanks for playing!
