Wow such a simple concept, but your execution is sooo good!

I really like the management and fun driving. Reminds me a lot of  "mini motorways" which is awesome!

I had a lot of fun with this! Really enjoyable game.

Well done! :D

Thanks for playing! There were quite a few major design changes throughout the whole jam until it worked, but I'm really happy that the working design ended up being one that is simple :)

Thanks for playing! Given there's about 50 scores on leaderboard, I'd say that's pretty good.

This is probably one of the most elegantly designed games I have seen so far! 

Similar concept to our game with the recording of cars but I was not expecting to see that applied to a more management-style of game but it totally works. Reminds me a lot of Mini metro with the minimalistic artstyle and the slowly zooming out camera revealing more houses and shops as the way to increase difficulty over time.

I guess the only thing I might be missing from that kind of game would be a bit of variation to kinds of cars maybe? Or some other way that the gameplay evolves over time. But of course, for a game jam I think it's more important to focus on a polished core gameplay loop than adding more features that will need balancing and testing, which I think you nailed!

Thanks for playing! I love seeing different takes from the same concept. 

I agree that polishing is more important. We dedicated only two days for implementing mechanics. Anything that don't make it by then are cut out. The last two days were just playtesting and polishing, there were so many issues that we wouldn't have solved otherwise. There's a lot of interesting design problems and it was cool seeing how others tackled them.

We did plan and try out a few other mechanics, and of course with other vehicles. They ended up not promising enough for us to include, so we just improved what we had. But now that the jam is over, we're already in the process of adding a new vehicle along with new mechanics :)

This has got to be one of the most creative entries I've played. It's a ton of fun and deceptively simple. I love games where the chaos just builds and builds and you become your own worst enemy. The graphics are simple but really pop.

I though the car clones were really impressive, with how they follow your original movements but still somehow know how to dodge and swerve on their own.

This game deserves a lot more attention, awesome job!

Thanks! There is some suvivorship bias, all remaining cars will always make it to the end, as if I'm actually skilled enough to dodge everything 😂
