A classic genre.</p>\n<p>I’m a bit confused, am I driving in the opposite direction of the traffic? Why do cars have fire coming out of their head lights? Also how is this “bad traffic” if the streets were mostly empty? I think you need to rethink the story :P But good job overall</p>\n<p>The sound effects seem to have some delay when I crashed against other cars.

I didn’t know about accelerating or breaking so maybe some visual indication of your speed, accelerating, and breaking could be displayed in your UI.</p>\n<p>Perhaps you wanted to do your own sound effects, but you could use ZzFX for a quick and good solution.</p>\n","games":["13attle TanKs"]},{"at":379323853,"author":"Ryan Tyler","login":"tyler6699","gh":50468,"url":"https://carelesslabs.co.uk","text":"<p>Simple game, all works well.. my advice, go check out an arcade version of this genre.

Avoid the oncoming cars, or they’ll cause damage. Too much damage, and it’s game over. There’s a quite nice little particle effect as you accrue damage and you do have some semblance of control over the speed of the oncoming traffic, although it feels a bit arbitrary. I managed to make it to Level 3 by staying in one single lane and not moving :) By Level 5 the speed was so insane I stood no chance, and the other cars were spawning a 3rd into the screen! Well done on entering. The concept feels almost on-theme, just needs some more gameplay polish.</p>\n"},{"at":380415430,"author":"Michel Sabchuk","login":"michelts","gh":361492,"url":"http://turbosys.com.br","text":"<p>I loved the visual effect after the car has been hit one time.</p>\n<p>The music doesn’t seem to have worked well, it is kind of choppy.</p>\n<p>I see a lot of potential on this game.
