I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of having to guess which lane you're supposed to be driving in by identifying the origin of the words describing the vehicle you're about to encounter. It's kinda hard\/unfair for the non-English speaking people, don't you think? And what surprises me more is that you sound like English is not your mother tongue, either. Genius or madness? Kudos for thinking outside of the box, anyway.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the visual style of the game, and the happy inclusion of a speed control; otherwise I may have fallen asleep at the wheel, and you know how dangerous that can be, people! :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Keep it up!"},{"author_name":"tsb","author_uid":"20874","time":"May 4, 2013 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1367702880,"text":"Funny game hahaaha"},{"author_name":"JohnnySix","author_uid":"20903","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 1:28am","epoch":1367716980,"text":"I liked the graphical style - would've liked some more sound effects for the passing vehicles, some honking etc would have been cool - if you were in the wrong lane. :D"},{"author_name":"ashdnazg","author_uid":"21623","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 10:12am","epoch":1367748420,"text":"This is just plain awesome!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Or should I say splendid?"},{"author_name":"YSelf Tool","author_uid":"10854","time":"May 7, 2013 @ 2:58pm","epoch":1367938380,"text":"Not fun.
