The game isn't loading for me in Firefox and the itch link is a 404 just fyi

Really fun game. The simple art style is nice. And the traffic sim is very cool.

@karlthecool Thanks for letting me know! This should be fixed now :)

Good Puzzle game with clean graphics, just wish the signal switch buttons was little bigger as their a little tricky to click on.

@whizbang Thanks, a good idea!

Nice game! Being able to control the camera and zoom in and out made it easier to control. I don't have any complaints haha, well done!

Nice and simple puzzle game, don't have a lot to say.

This is the case when one simple idea can be a lot of fun. Also game makes aware of traffic problems lol.

Mechanics are simple but fun! Didn't have any problems at all, cool little game! Good job!

Love the artstyle, but vertical level is really hard to see on the 16x9 horizontal monitor, had to zoom out a lot to see the level :cold_sweat:

@justslavic Thanks for the review! And yeah I agree, should have made it horizontal now when I think about it :sweat_smile:

Very fun and special game! Control the traffic system in real time makes me feel like a hacker in movies :)

It is a regret for lack of music and sound, the map and ui layout also need some imporvement. But implement such a system in 48 hours is just good enough, well done!

What a nice and original game. I had fun.

I really like the details in the traffic simulation. It looked like the drivers were considering their turns. There were traffic jams. I found the game to be well balanced.

The right clicking in a web browser was a little problematic, since I would often right click out of the window and get a context menu. A full screen option would have helped this.

nice game it reminds me minimotorways

munkkeliauthor1 May 2023, 15:42

@pincushion Thank you for the review. :smile: And you raise a fair point about the right clicking. I think I can enable full screen in itch.io at least to help with this.

@campalans Thank you! It was an inspiration. :wink:

Solid Game! I didn't see any bugs or anything. The traffic works just like it should. Nice work!

Lex3 May 2023, 13:59

So that's what being a traffic light feels like.

Amazing game! I love the clean art style and the detail with the buttons looking like German Autobahn signs (not sure if that was intended though). Everything seems so polished and smooth. Also the theme is spot on.

Good job! :)

Fun game and well presented. Having to constantly keep the traffic moving was a good challenge.

Aymco10 May 2023, 20:01

Nice game. a puzzle game like this for a game jam is very nice !

Kerdelos10 May 2023, 21:39

I liked the gameplay, the graphics are simple but efficient and serves well the gameplay !
I was sometimes confused because the timer disappeared on some cars ( i guess it was in order not to hide crossroads ?) and I think a fullscreen option would have been better than having to zoom and pan around.
Overall it's a solid entry, congrats !

This is a really fun concept for a puzzle game, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It definitely presented an interesting challenge

munkkeliauthor17 May 2023, 07:31

@kerdelos You are correct! It was a last minute addition in order to avoid a situation where a car popup blocks the intersection change button. :sweat_smile:
