Simple, but the fact that moving is a toggle is a unique spin on it.

It's a game, it's understandable, and it uses the theme correctly! Quite impressive in 3 hours.

I got very close to the finish line, but there is this very unforgiving duration for the yellow light that got me every time...

Nice work :D

@rolly Yes youre right, I was tinkering with these values but found when I increased the times too much then it was very easy to get to the end but I do agree, it would have benefited to increase the lower limit of the yellow light to be a bit less rage inducing.

wow, surprisingly addicting! that super fast yellow/red really messed me up, i had to skip it to win

@matt-swieboda Thanks for playing till the end. I just realized after you mentioning this that the seed needs to be randomized to be truly random.

@beats yes, that would help, cuz i knew when it was coming on restart. to be honest though, if i didn't know, and it was true random, that specific segment is a tiny bit too fast.

Spectacular amount of tension for such simple rules, well done.

I failed several times before realizing that it was always the same timing. Once I figured that out, it became a game of patience and memory, where you really had to force yourself not to give in to greed, even at the finish line. It reminded me a bit of those boss fights in Dark Souls where, just when you’re on the verge of victory, you get tempted to end it quickly and die a miserable death... Well done :)

@nombrillus Thanks I was going for souls like when I made the game lol, yeah need to randomize the seed to be truly random.

Great, simple, and pretty challenging! It seems like the speed is dependent on FPS or refresh rate or something, weirdly when I play it on one of my monitors I move twice as fast compared to the other monitor :stuck_out_tongue: I can get 12 seconds on one but 20 seconds on the other.

Very good scope for a game jam.
