Good game. The progression is really slow so I wasn't really engaged to play it for long.

That's a good point, @stephanschue. I should ramp up the difficulty more quickly. Thanks for the feedback!

Cute game, the concept has a lot of potential. I wish it was a bit more polished, but of course that's a lot to ask in a jam. Sometimes clicking destinations seemed either unreliable or delayed, unsure. I wasn't engaged for too long, but again, the base mechanic could be expanded into a pretty cool casual game! Well done

Yeah red lights are cringe. I wish there was some audio and when I loaded the game it was already paused and I had to find out spacebar was the button to unpause the game but other than that cool game!

Good concept. Would love more 'pickup' positions, at least I got only two with same redlight connecting them so far and loads of drop points.

Also quite sad to play with no sounds at all :< at least clicky-sounds for pickups and drops would do. Somehow my first pickup didn't trigger for me at the start, so I got confused at the first go and went to drop zone instead..

Would enjoy some updates! Why we need those tips for? ;p

Awesome concept!
I love minimalistic games too, they really can bring inspiration. As this game did!
In my opinion, this project has very wide perspectives - if yoy want, you can add some upgrades (or 'powerups'), may be 'missions' (aka 'delivery color priority'), some backstory.
And i think with bit of music this will be better.
Good job!

Those are great ideas, @darchankaen! Missions and powerups would be great fun. I'll give some thought to a backstory. I think that could add a fun dimension to the game.

Also, I agree some music is sorely needed. Perhaps some stuck-in-traffic themed tunes, or music tracks that feature sounds of the street as rhythmic elements. Musical car horns could be fun! ... or very annoying. I'll have to walk that line carefully :grin:

I really appreciate the encouragement everyone has given. Thank you all!

Cool idea, might be more fun if you had more cars(?) to move so you can keep the pace going while cars(?) are being stopped at red lights since that happens quite often. A chill game regardless~
