--ABOUT
This is my first Ludum Dare or gamejam in general, I don't know what I was waiting so long for, this is too much fun. I made the game using Unity 5 and Blender. The music was generated using autotracker.py (you can find it under tools on this page), since my music making skills are nonexistent. For now it runs confirmed on Windows and Web with Unity plugin. I've uploaded the Mac and Linux builds too, although they're completely untested. Planning on setting it up for Android soon too.

Nice litte game. I love the graphics and the music. Gameplay is fun but could be a bit more fast paced in my opinion. Something like this would make a great mobile game if you polished it and added swipe controls. Great job though, keep up the good work!

I agree with Evgiz. Maybe you could ramp up the speed over time? Anyway I enjoyd this game a lot. It's a nice view on the theme.

I...wow...this is amazing. Intuitive mechanics while maintaining challenge, a brilliant clean aesthetic, all around one of the best games I've seen so far.

This was great, such a cool concept! I personally disagree with previous comments regarding it not being difficult or fast paced enough. There must be a part of my brain missing, because I was struggling really hard even with the current speed ;) So fun though, excellent job.

Highest score was 30, but went down to 25 with a few mistakes. Gameplay's simple but tricky to master, think it needs some kind of difficulty where the traffic gets busier as time goes on, but as it stands pretty nifty idea.

I like the game and the simple graphics. It is intuitive and fun. It would have been cool to have more games mode or objectives.

Simple, but nice and interesting to play!

By the way, you said that my game stucks with a black screen on you PC. Did that happen when you clicked `New game`? Or you didn't even see main menu?

This is one of the most unique games I've played this LD, congrats! It may not be very deep, but it is entertaining to see vehicles smash each other at the press of a button (literally!).

Surprisingly difficult, i could just be a lepper though, Really simple concept and well executed. Also a scary thought someone having this power.

great entry ^^

Cool game about judging cars solely based on their color. I mean, if they're obeying traffic laws, how bad can they be?

Definitely would work as a mobile game. The audio was my favorite part but there's no rating for it :(

Thank you all the nice words, I'll definitely keep the suggestions in mind!

@HolyBlackCat I couldn't even get to the main menu, just a black screen when I ran the exe

@bentglasstube There's no rating for the audio because the song was generated using autotracker.py, I felt it'd be cheating since that song is basically all the audio in my game haha
