Great entry! Exemplifies what a game jam game should be: very simple and very effective! It has a lot of polish, and is surprisingly difficult if you get caught between two vehicles! Great work!

Great entry! Exemplifies what a game jam game should be: very simple and very effective! It has a lot of polish, and is surprisingly difficult if you get caught between two vehicles! Great work!
Wow, it is really great and elegant. The meaning it conveys really matches reality. The only thing I would like to suggest is to modify the flow better. It is a little bit hard at first, I mean the number of cars.
Very nice entry! I love the single button control yet it's pretty engaging and fun. The graphics are cute and the music/effects are good. Got to 25 after like 10 attempts but gave up after. :D Good job!
This game is so cool ! The art and music are really good and snappy, it's hard to stop playing. Easy to learn, hard to master. The only criticism I have is it's a bit too hard at the start, it would be even more enjoyable if the difficulty ramped up with time.
Awesome game. Simplistic, clear and fun! Would love to see the tiniest bit of difficulty tuning, losing to being sandwiched with no options of survival can be a bit sad.
Really great entry, with a simplistic and fun game loop and great art/music! Congrats
I'm addicted to the music of the game it is creates addiction ahah. Great work!
Really cool! Quite a satisfying game loop, controls well and is pretty engaging. If I had a suggestion it would be some sort of risk-reward to introduce more variety - maybe having to turn back halfway across to pick up a coin or something. Really good stuff!
Really nicely polished little game, I had fun trying it! Keep up the good work!
The graphics is so simple and minimalistic and so pretty at the same time. I am amazed!
cute and simple, very cool
Cool art and music, you should change space button in high score, I always skipped that part because i was pressing space to dodje cars, it was fun to play!
This could reach the Flappy Bird viral reach if it launched 8 years ago. Great job, well thought game.
Really simple and fun game. Cool graphics. I like that there is a mobile version :)
Wow, very cool game. The art is very good. The gameplay is simple but addictive, I think it's best suited for mobiles.

Amazing game! It pretty much feels like a finished mini game. If i had to nit pick i would say seeing the cars from further would be helpful. Loved that the cars actually honk at you. Very minimalistic yet very satisfying!
Very smooth and nice graphics. I like the simplicity in here. Great job!
A very fast-paced and fun game. I like one button controls and it looks great!
Good idea and very polished! Sometimes I skipped the end screen and didn't get to see my final score because I was spamming space to try and survive when I died. I appreciate the idea of having only one control, maybe there could be a small time delay before you are allowed to restart so that you don't do it accidentally. Great job!
great game, super simple controls yet hard to master! i liked the art, and i can definitely see how addictive this game is, great work! the game feels very polished, the cars even honk when you're too close!
this game is the proof that a simple concept well executed makes great results
A very effective little game! Nice graphics. if you add a increasing difficulty it can be a great game for mobile !
Very nice! Great setup for mobile with a single tap for a control. Graphics are super polished.
Wow! Nice concept, it is soo good to use only one key. Graphic and music fits very nice. I like the horn from car. It was good time with this game :)
Such a simple idea well executed. Really like the music and simplicity of the gameplay. Well done!
Super simple to understand and difficult to master. A plus for the mobile version, I played it on my phone!
Great little entry, a fun little twist on Frogger and the like. Especially loved the graphics, very pleasent to look at and extremly clear and vibrant. I also really liked the honking sound effect when cars almost hit you!
tiny game, but well that's entertaining!! design is perfect, mechanic. simplicity is a talent, and you master it. GG
Pretty cool game, short but very fun
Very polished, simple, and easy to play. Great work!
Simple but effective, now this game will live in my phone forever (Unless you make an expanded version, then i'll change it in a blink of an eye)
Love a good one button game. Nicely polished, great art and music. I'll echo others that I accidentally skipped the score screen and it would be interested to add one tweak to the gameplay to offer an opportunity to push my luck, like a coin.
Fun and simple! I wish I could stop at the sides of the street without spamming space button, but still this is really solid and great entry!
This is pretty neat. The idea is concise and the execution is pretty polished. The art and the music are both great and the one-button control system is a cool idea. My only complaint is that I keep accidentally starting a new game before I see what my score was because the same button to change directions also starts a new game immediately...
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...

@no-whone WHAT! This highscore is amazing! As far as we know you're now the new record holder haha! (we got to 66)
This game is so addictive! Nice art and nice sound - I love it. Thumbs up.
I could absolute see this right at home among other mobile app classics like fruit ninja, flappy bird, crossy roads etc. It has the perfect simplistic addictive quality that offers a short satisfying game loop! not being able to stop or directly choose your direction makes for a frantic experience of weaving between traffic that really makes you want to try and get better at it!
Absolute banger game, jam project or not. Well done!
Love the pixel art so much !
I love the concept! I'm a huge fan of clever one button game idea liek this. It's really well executed, the art is lovely and the music is cool. I love the little honks from time to time. Huge congrats for your entry :)
Wow, I'm impressed by how much the concept is simple but efficient. Very nice job, the game is fun, art is great and music is nice. I have nothing more to say, congratulations :)
I love it! I gave it straight 5s across the board. Good job!
All it took was a simple but clever game mechanic an addicting soundtrack and a highscore mechanic to get me hooked. Great job :)
Heya! I felt this game had some really clean presentation. One-button controls, great graphics and sound. I enjoy the little horn honk when you get close to a car as well. It's a simple game, so there's not too much to say other than I would have liked for the gameplay to increase in intensity as the score increases, or some way to create risk / reward by playing faster or more recklessly to increase the score. The open-ended nature of the gameplay makes it drag a little after 8-10 points. With minor adjustments I could see those sentiments resolved pretty easily.
Great effort, and props on making something so polished!
hey @adamcyounis thanks sm for your feedback! and yes, we agree (: as soon as we have the time, we want to implement a bigger speed curve for increased difficulty (there is one actually, it's just not really noticeable enough) and a new car type, being coin cars, which drop coins on the ground to stay for a few seconds. cheers!
Your game reinforces a maxim I carry with me: "A game doesn't need a lot of commands or options to be fun. And a game MUST be fun."
No power ups, no items. Just one mission. Cute, fun and functional. How games used to be. Freeway and Frogger made my fun for a long time.
Congratulations!
