I think it would perhaps be more moody if set on an industrial freeway with the potential for traffic jams so that you can reflect on poor decisions :P I think the ramps maybe take away from the experience a little, but overall, great effort!"},{"author_name":"r3d5","author_uid":"5042","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 10:28pm","epoch":1367274180,"text":"@Lianne Booton Confession time! The ramps were totally me freaking out it wasn't fun enough. It really was an art game to begin with but after I had it play tested a bit, people seemed to want ~anything more exciting.
