The Road gets darker as time progresses. Collect batteries to keep the lights on. You have the ability to remove obstacles by spending some power. When you have enough energy, the lights will turn green. Press SPACE. Use A and D to change lanes. ESC to pause. R to restart.
My internet died during the last few hours, so it was quite a panicked scramble to get things finalised and uploaded. I'm a little bit pleased with the result, it's not the best, and I had hours of issues with collides. But it was a good attempt after taking a break from game design for so long.
Nice implementation of the theme into an endless (?) runner.
Everything seems polished, I liked especially how the power is implemented with the car light as well as with the environment light. Also the background music is good.
The Houses look great.
If I´m thinking of potential to improve, the only thing is that I would prever to only change one row at pressing the button, not at staying on it. But thats nitpicking.
Fun game with very good visual and music. I agree with @gilborn about changing one row only when pressing the button (or making the change a little slower). Also, I think the difficulty could be more interesting with less battery.
Looks great! All aspects of the game, models, lights, effects, sound are nice and soft. And mechanics with increasing and decreasing the total light in this way is very interesting. Well done!
Toughest with the Hold versus tap control as "hold" controls makes it tougher to have precise input. Pretty fun though and was def getting into the music :)
Nice simple game. I liked the colors changing on the city, even if took me a while to see it's meaning. I found the game too hard at first, because I though you had to get several battery before using your special power. But once I saw that you could use it pretty much after each battery, the game became too easy, with no real threat anymore. The UI was a bit annoying because you had to use the mouse to restart, the keyboard was not enough. But it was fun to play, keep up the good work.
Funny game ! A classic runner, but with a twist. Maybe there's a little work needed on the controls (too sensitive) and the level design (some patterns are really hard), but I like the music !
This is a potentially solid little endless runner being dragged down a lot by a few issues. First, the controls are way too sensitive. If the player's movement works in lanes, I think the best way to control it would be such that a single tap left or right moves a single lane. No more, no less. As it is moving one lane over is tricky when it feels like it really shouldn't be. The second problem is the screen-clearing mechanic. Once the buildings turn green once, you can completely avoid all obstacles by just mashing the space bar and collecting batteries, which is much too easy. The game becomes trivial when all the obstacles are gone.
Those problems really heavily pull the game down, but everything else is really nice. The graphics are appealing and the music fits well enough. I would encourage you to fix those issues I mentioned above and see how it plays, because I think it's be a lot of fun.

Good job!
Also, the GUI seemed kinda off; next time try to use custom graphics for it, and allow better navigation through the elements! :)
I liked the buildings background with the lights, good job on that.
I feel that this game is so easy, it has not flow.
Maybe with more obstacles and less speed would be better in my opinion.
I know it's a compo so, nice work! :)
