First of all I really liked visuals and it's a shame the game doesn't have sounds (or I didn't hear for some reason?). Gameplay is clear and cool but it lacks quality of life features.  For example, I was really tilted after building a huge route and destroying it with single mouse button without a return. Something like \"Ctrl+z\" \u0442\u043e return to previous state of the route after making a new point would be really great. Guess the problem was a lack of time so it's fine. Also I wasn't able to start a cyclic route with P and actually maybe it's good because I have a feeling the game could be fully automized and would play itself. Overall great job, wish you a good jam\n\nUPD: Found the sounds but there are not enough I believe. Cars are fine, location when camera close too, but the rest of the game feels silent which is not really good. Maybe some simple classic, adventerous or steampunk music on the background will do the trick for your game?
