Good fun, enjoyed my time embezzling.

Fun idea, especially as you can get knocked over. However, I found it very difficult to play with my mouse pad and would have preferred clicking something like space instead. But anyways, cool concept!

This was pretty fun, nice level of difficulty it can get chaotic but not frustrating. Had a lot of fun playing, great job.

It goes straight to the point and that’s everything I’m here for, really nice concept, I died a few times but still really cool !

Fun game! Getting tickets in a row is satisfying and crossing the sidewalk adds a sort of frogger vibe that I like.

Great idea for this theme. I liked the day/night transition instead of displaying a big old timer, nice touch.

Died in the middle of the job. But well, i always have the problem of reading. Its makes me always skip the tutorial, and its also becoming my downfall

Great job! An interesting take on the theme, and the gameplay works well. Props for incorporating a public leaderboard given the amount of time you had! I do wish there was either a keyboard option for clicking on the parking meter, or for some sort of visual indicator when you get within clicking range. Didn’t expect death to be so bloody, so you might want to consider a content warning for that. The sound effect of getting hit was really effective though! Great job overall!

The game is really fun, and I loved how creative the theme is—it was completely unexpected. Congratulations on your great contribution to this year's game jam!

fun game! Really got into it on my second go round. itches a good part of my brain. And i only got hit once!

Nicely done! I gotta agree with the previous comments, this is a surprisingly good, creative take on the theme. I definitely got skill issued on it but the core mechanic is pretty clever. I think the 'clicking' on the meters might be a little extra, maybe could've left that as a button prompt or maybe as a distance-to-player check that would automatically trigger if you got close. I'm not sure if its possible to get to every meter in time, might've been interesting with a dash or some other movement mechanic to spice things up further but thats increasing the scope so fair enough. Good game, was fun :)

Really fun game with a creative twist on the theme. Love it when there are a lot of timers going down at the same time, and you are trying to find the best route. I actually had more fun not using the colleague mechanic, because the chaos that comes with trying to cross makes it fun

Honestly, this game is PEAK.

Took some time to get into, but when I did it was very enjoyable

Really cool concept, very entertaining to play !

This was SUPER creative! I really loved the animation when you get hit by one of the cars, had me rolling!

really cool :) definitely could have used some polishing but the game is really fun (and difficult!)

Really good. The only thing I would change would be to remove the clicking and just walk up to the meter.

Great ambience and sound design ! Getting ran over by a car never felt that good.
