Took me a bit to figure out I needed to "Match the houses to the color on the newspaper" (I'm bad at reading instructions) but I did figure it out. This is surprisingly addicting to play. Good job!

It was a fun little game with a nice mix of mechanics! :) I enjoyed it after I got a hang of the unusual projectile curve. I think it could have been just a straight, quick path for the projectile and maybe the car could have been a bit faster. Oh, and I think a zip would have been better because not everyone has 7zip installed and I don't think it's compatible with Windows out of the box. :\
One thing that was annoying was getting 3 green papers in a row while no green house parts were nearby. It was either: missing a lot of houses and waiting for green parts... or shooting aimlessly until a good colour comes up, decreasing my accuracy.
Neither of those decisions are fun. :D So maybe colour could have been changed instead of random. Or it could have been random, but you could have added some mechanic which would let good players handle this kind of situation.
Thanks for the entry, it was fun. Cheers! :)
This was quite fun! Although I was a bit confused with how the scoring system worked since I got 11324 points on my first run, but only 3311 on my second one, where I figured out a better strategy and had a higher accuracy (without getting hit by a car). Also, you can easily avoid cars by staying on the left side of the road and not moving. Otherwise, it's pretty good! (especially for a game done in such a short time!)
