I really love this game! The art is so cute and feels a lot like crossy road's voxel art but 2d... The atmosphere also feels a lot like crossy road, which I used to love as a kid. The car variety is great, not too little and not too much, very fit for a game jam. The music is also pretty alright, enforces the retro pixel style, and the sound effects are also really nice (I like that when we go close to a car, they will honk). I guess one thing about the sound is collecting a box should also have a sound but it's completely fine.

The difficulty of the game is actually incredibly well-made, easy to pick up, easy to play, yet not quite easy to master... Perfect for a mobile game, and has layers of reaction time, strategy, rhythm, and understanding of how the game works (like each lane can only have 1 car max). It's honestly beautiful. One thing I would say is there should be a diffciulty curve (like player moves faster or car spawn faster the higher score you get).

Other than that, great entry! Loved it! Also here's my highscore...
