This is a great idea! I love it

Nice relation to the theme.

I like that you play against yourself. I did not understand how to use the traps part or the r key. Maybe explain that a bit better somewhere?

Cool concept! I enjoyed working out all the different routes to the taxi

Good take on the theme! Racing yourself is always a nice concept and it works very well here. Also I love that the earth is a physics object you can collide with :D

One problem I see is that you can inflate your score a lot by going slow on purpose the first few rounds. Also it feels a bit unfair when you beat your past self by a tiny amount but still lose because of the 3 second countdown. You could introduce a general time limit to the game to counter the intentional slow strategy.

took me a while to understand how to place traps, i think gamefeel would improve when you give more traps in the beginning, i never managed to get past score 3

I like the placing of the items to block the path of your previous attempts It did take me some time to work out at what point you place items, and how to rotate. I didn't realise that you had to click and hold and then press R. Nice work on this :)

Nice idea, racing against yourself, but you can score big time by going very slowly the first time and a bit faster on each of the next loops. The game looks nice, the controls are good and the moving and jumping is smooth.

I didn't really understand if we are supposed to play with or against oneself, but I like how the game looks :)

Interesting idea that fits the theme nicely. Wish there was a better UI for placing the traps (took me a while to even realize you place them before starting since it was so small on screen).
