this was really fun lol. The whole thing is basically a horrible walk through Amsterdam traffic and somehow that works perfectly 😭 The bridge being right there while youre forced to go all the way around is a really nice use of the theme too.
The movement feels good and its really easy to understand what youre supposed to do. I also liked the leaderboard because this is exactly the kind of game where you finish once and immediately think "okay I can do that faster".
Visually I really like it. The pixel art has a lot of personality and all the little vehicles and bikes make the streets feel busy without becoming impossible to read. 5/5 for art from me.
The main thing Id fix is the collision. Sometimes it looks like theres enough room to squeeze between two things but you still die. Id make the actual collision a bit smaller than the sprites so close calls feel fair instead of confusing. Especially in a game where speed matters.
I think the audio is good too but it can get a little busy when a lot happens at once. Maybe lower some of the repeated traffic sounds a bit and add slight pitch variation so hearing the same honk again and again doesnt get tiring.
Could also be fun to have a few more weird Amsterdam-specific hazards later on. Maybe roadworks. tram tracks. tourists blocking the path. delivery bikes. stuff like that. Not really necessary but it would make repeat runs feel even more different.
Really nice game though. Simple idea but done well and the title is great too lol.
If you have some time please check out my game too :) Id really appreciate a rating and some feedback!
