Great interpretation of the theme! I scored 15К points. I think if I practice a little more, I'll be able to get much more!

Great game! I like the music and exploding cars.
Good take on the the theme. Well done.
I love playing simulation games and this scratches the itch. I like choosing which lights to set and watching the traffic be directed automatically. I wish there was different types of intersections and maybe more automation you can set up. I also found it somewhat difficult to click the light I want quickly. Of course I know this was made in 48h which makes it all more impressive. I'm particularly impressed by the car AI.

> Cars explode after sitting still for too long
It's good to finally know why we invented traffic lights.
Really fun, I liked the blips of cars getting home a lot, very satisfying to hear a little arpeggio as a big line gets home. Controls-wise it'd be nice if you could just mouse close to the traffic signals then use WASD to change them, trying to pixel hunt quickly is fun and engaging but hurts my hand a bit.
I love the inclusion of a passive background mode, reminds me of those carpets with roads on them.
Simulation games always bring a strong sense of immersion. Nice work!
This was really simple, and just as great as simple. I loved it. The style is also really nice
This is awesome, and quite well balanced! Once it picks up and you're getting a lot of conflicts it's really fun to try and manage. The fact that the driving behaviour actually made sense was impressive :joy: Nice satisfying blips and chill music.
When I started just messing around I kept trying to flick lights back and forth to get cars to hit each other but they've got some quick braking reflexes! The explosions were hilarious too. Great entry!
Such a stressful game with such calm music! Nice try, interesting idea!
Love the music. What did you use to make it?
Really fun! Nice loop, nice sound and music, clear goal. Got 17,300!
@jesus-gonzalez Thanks! I used https://www.beepbox.co
This game is honestly addicting! Simple mechanics, but the difficulty increase is great and provides a good challenge. Even my kids (6 & 9) loved it! GG
Great spin on the theme - really well rounded entry - big congrats on that... it's a simple idea and very playable. Easy to pick up. I found the signals themselves a bit too small - maybe on purpose... but that was the only critique I found.. so really nice entry. Left you a rating :smile:
It was fun. At first it seems easy but when many cars are coming, the stress increases, and when the first explosion occurs, we know we are in troubles. Graphics are cool and the music as well. Well done !
haha! what a great entry!! I had a lot of fun. I really like minimalist games where you just know what to do instead a 5page of tutorials. The audio is also very nice. Calming relaxing. Very nice entry! Maybe the graphics could be better. Ah, I really like the effect of 'booom' :D 2026-04-22_17-59.jpg
I though "this is going to be a quick game, it doesn't look like something for me" and instead I ended up getting really addicted too it. Just something about the emergency of switching the light signals before the cars exploded really got to me :sweat_smile:
Awesome use of the theme to encourage innovation! I kept thinking that I had configurations that would be slightly stable but the great design of the map and the pathing through it kept showing me how wrong I was. This is a very satisfying game to chill and play as the wave of cars slams through the one blockage they build up behind - props for making multiple game modes in a game jam! Well done!
It looks easy, but it gets crazy pretty quick. I love it.
Really fun, liked the take on the theme, it goes from being a simple on this is easy just direct the cars, hope I don't cause any accidents, to oh no cars are exploding
I think one easy improvement to the game would be to have an alert on the signals when someone arrives I felt like I spent a lot of time looking all over the screen to find where the cars were so a visual, and maybe a sound queue would have been nice
Lots of fun, nice little game that works well. Would be nice if things were a little bigger and easier to see and click on, felt a bit small and fiddly
I find it quite funny that the cars explode out of impatience and that is how the queue moves forward 😄
Nice game with a solid and satisfying core mechanic. It feels good to play and the idea is clear and well executed.
One thing I was not fully sure about is the win or lose condition. Is there a limit to how many cars can explode? It would be great to reflect that more clearly in the UI.
I would love to see more levels with different city layouts to add even more variety.
Great job! Снимок экрана 2026-04-25 в 19.54.54.png
Difficult but still fun. Well done.
Very fun and addictive! For some reason, the graphics glitched for me. I didn't see any roads. But still, great work!
Really fun game! Only notes were that it is too fun to explode cars on purpose and the background music sounds like cars are exploding even when they aren't.
The theme is presented in the form of a traffic intersection. It's an interesting game that is very captivating.
