How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
My interpretation of the theme was a police whistle used for traffic control. The freeze mechanic comes from the policeman being able to freeze and unfreeze cars and pedestrians with the goal of preventing crashes.

I burst out laughing at the explosion when hitting a pedestrian. Lots of fun and I like the ramping up difficulty!
It's funny it wasn't intended at all but you are not the first personn to say that lmao
Thanks ! I'm not sure I see what you mean by visual indicators since there are already the cooldown bars on the cars ?
Simple but fun game with a cool concept! Very impressive for you second ever game. I did find the game quite hard but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Thanks ! Yes I'd say you get used to it, but the difficulty is probably a bit too high for the first tries.
This was great! Agree with what others are saying: concept executed very well, challenging but fun, harder than it looks (meant positively)! Nearly got to 300 but will definitely return to try and hit it once I've rested my eyes a bit hahaha
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ! Even I was surprised at how hard it actually was when prototyping.
Awesome game! Is really stressful tbh but I thought that was a good sign lol. Made it to 410 on my best run.
Thanks ! Nice highscore, yeah I tried to make it tense will still feeling manageable until around the 400 points.
You implemented such a cool concept well! The gameplay loop is simple yet challenging to master, and it was fun trying to enforce traffic. I do think that the pacing of the difficulty could be a bit slower to make things a bit more fair, but in general this was still quite fun to play!
Thanks ! Yeah, I did not have time to get the game tested by people before the due date so I kind of underevaluated how hard the game is for beginners.
Love, love, love this game! When a pedestrian exploded, I literally cackled out loud. You've made even failing a fun thing. Great work, use of theme and object, not to mention it's cute and works great! Awesome job!
Thank you very much ! Glad you enjoyed it !
I think I did a great job as a policeman until a car hit a person but I hope nobody saw that :))) Them was good implemented and I liked the concept.
Thanks ! I mean those businessmen seem quit focus I don't think anybody noticed ;).
Cool little idea but hard for me to keep track of so many objects. Skill issue I guess :)
I totally get it — it took me a couple of runs before I was able to keep track of everything. Maybe having the cars and pedestrians spawn at a slower pace at first would make the game feel less overwhelming at the beginning until you familiarize with the game.
Nice one! I love the take on the theme. You'll see that there is another game with the same concept though the gameplay is a bit different. Great work!
Thanks ! Yeah, I though I was being original with my take on the subject but it seems like it was actually one of the most used interpretation. There is at least 5 games about traffic 馃槄.
It's way harder than it looks!!! you have to look at four sides multiplied by each pedestrian and car. I found myself thinking "I got this" while holding two cars while a pedestrian was passing by, only to hear another car hitting a pedestrian on the other sidewalk. :-/
Really cool experience, good job!
Thanks ! I'm glad it is challenging for others too. I was not sure if it was just me being bad at multitasking or if it was actually complex enough.
I had a lot of fun with this one! It's simple but it's executed really well I think. It's fun to figure out timings and it gets tense when there's a close call. Good job!
Thanks! I鈥檓 glad I was able to evoke the sense of tension I was going for.
