Not bad! Although sometimes it seemed that it taxis would start off the wrong way and it'd be impossible to get them off the first tile.

I got stuck a few times, in a situation where a taxi was bouncing between two spaces, and I couldn't change either of the spaces, which I needed to do to get it somewhere else. Of course, that happened because I screwed up, but it was a sad place to end up!
Good puzzle, though. Got very tricky... I got to the first level with 4 cars, then when some got stuck I hit ESC to discover that is instant exit instead of retry.
This is a fun and pretty challenging puzzle game -- I really like the addition of the gas meters, they make sure that you have to be quick to discover the possible paths. Well done!
The pixel art is also very well done.
I had problems getting stuck between two tiles. It looked like the elbow titles would sometime let the taxi go straight instead of turning if they had just done a U-Turn.
I liked: Idea (disclosure: I started from the same base idea), the twist having two vehicles, gameplay, fun
Could improve on: Graphics, presentation, getting-stuck-issues
This is definetly a game to develop further, already fun in the present state
Interesting game, and moderately fun :)
I had two main issues: 1) the window size was too big for my screen, and I couldn't resize it, this rendered part of the bottom of the screen unviewable. As it turns out I didn't need to use it, as far in as I got, but it could have been a pretty major frustration.
2) In one of the levels there's a piece just beside one of the starting points that you have to rotate before the start timer ends (the first level to feature a yellow truck I think), otherwise you can't move it. That's a minor thing, but one that can be easily avoided, if you think it worth avoiding.
(I notice now that other people had the same problem...)
Anyway, I think it a pretty decent effort.
Pretty fun but the third level is a nightmare, and I also will report the taxi's getting stuck bug.
Enjoyed it, but found it fairly difficult. Didn't make it too far in.
Very nice puzzle game, enjoyed this one a lot.
On the first look doesn't seem really interesting, but if you begin to play, it's really addictive.
Pause or longer startup delay would be nice for some of the levels. Sometimes the car enter a path which is blocked etc.
An interpretation of the theme that I like, except the cars-getting-stuck bug in the fourth level :( I compiled a Mac version too (Universal Binary): http:/www.raschke.de/julian/temp/CrazyTaxiMac.zip
didn't think i was gonna like this or have the interest of playing but I am happy to say I was proved wrong! I played all the levels and won.. yippee.. ;)
a lot of fun. there are a good many different things going on as you play that make this a fun and cool idea. a lot more things then the screen shots do justice to. Nice work.. and yah another Gosu user! ;)
