Haha, this game is fantastic! What a ridiculously dangerous intersection. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Thank you!
At first it wasn’t totally clear how I was controlling the cars. Then it became obvious that it didn’t even matter.
The voice acting is top-notch!

What the heck have I just played :grinning: The first 5 seconds were pretty calm, and then chaos ensued haha People dying, cars exploding, nobody listened to my instructions, it was CHAOS
Love the voice acting, and the models are very cool too! This is what I want from a LD game, pure fun and insanity.
The only thing you could do better are the controls, i never had a clue where i really was going, but that also helped with the chaos.
Well done!

This game is unhinged and chaotic in the best possible way.

That's quite an experience!
Anyone can stop the cars for more than 3 seconds? :smile:
(On my three-monitor setup, the game launched on the third monitor and the main monitor switched to portrait mode :dizzy_face: )
@fifut oh no! I hope they reverted to normal after. Sorry about that! Interesting to know. Thanks :)

Car worms are like 'Thankfully I don't know how to read'. Walker worms are like 'Let's cross the road there, I will bodyblock the one personn trying to save me for minimal safety'. Send comment.
Very funny Screenshot 2026-04-20 192152.png I found it best to step aside and let nature have at it

Primal chaos
I did it, I ended traffic worldwide. All it took was 44 sacrifices, may my beautiful worms rest in peace, in worm heaven if you will.
Absolutely hilarious, I was laughing at it all the way through, the explosions, the carnage, the voice lines (the worm cop is in CHARGE and he's really good at this), absolutely beautiful. I loved it, great job on this game!

Not sure which score was the one to optimize, but I went for the green one and this is the best I could do:

It wasn't obvious to me at the start that looking at a car tells it to go rather than to stop. Most of the challenge seemed to be in stepping out of the way fast enough to signal the next car to go before it gets rear-ended (I totally gave up trying to protect the pedestrians).
This game's hilarious. I love the voiced parts, the wobbly music, the mayhem. It's all so good.
I read that Blender had a game engine built in at some point. I guess that's v2.79. Curious how it was to develop this.

i was just returning from my worm work on my worm car in Worm Underground Kingdom but then a police worm man came with in a police worm uniform and said that i, Worm Wormious, NEED TO FUCking explode and turn my worm car into black pillows and tuRn all THE worm sinto red pilL0ws made of their worm fleSh at That moment i thoUght that i Was VERy t1r3d anD wenT to Slepp on Them
@pincushion It's a pretty cool game engine, one where you can get by without coding- though it leaves me quite limited with what I can do. Perfect for game jams, however! I just can't move on from it, I love the look of its 3D
Very chaotic and funny game. I didn’t know you could make a game in BLENDER??!

Haha, fun game!
A fun experience escalates quite quickly too the moment you let things get out of hand even a little bit.

This possibly the most chaotic Combo I've ever played, well done. Thank you so much for an amazing time lol I actually felt good about trying to figure out the system even though everything was always falling apart, thankfully it wasn't very punishing XD
This might be the most absurd and hilarious game I've played in Ludum Dare 59. I caused over forty traffic accidents, and then at the end it said I put an end to traffic accidents. I love the voice acting lol — it made the whole game feel even more ridiculous.
