Lovely visuals. It could have used at least a paragraph of instructions though.

Pretty nice graphics and audio though is hard to understand the gameplay.

It's a shame that the whole game was played out on that tiny minimap really, as I thought the car lights moving round the city blocks were cool, but I didn't spend any time looking at them. Still enjoyed playing it for a while

Little confused about exactly what conditions caused a reset at first, I and I might still be, but it was a fun game, one of the best I've seen thus far, good job!

Love the low-fi-visuals. reminds me of ShamusYoung's Procedural City. Music is oddly fitting.

Gameplay is a bit confusing though. What is happening? What do I do? Am I making progeress? What's with the mini-map-thing? And why am I moving automatically? Is that a bug?

Great art, music, and overall mood. Kinda wish it had a full-screen mode.

Only complaint is dying was very abrupt.

The traffic lights were mesmerizing. In fact I didn't even notice the minimap at first so it was a bit disorienting. However, I enjoyed the game once I figured that out. :)

I agree with the other comments that when you lose it should let you know why. Maybe blink the dot on the minimap?

Nice graphics... but gameplay is a little confusing. Kudos for using Haxe. Congrats

I really loved the Graphics. And the Gameplay is nice too, fun to play.

It took a while for me to combine what the Graphics had to do with the little map I was playing on.
But thats only a small minuspoint, very nice game nevertheless.

Great Job!
