game looks very nice, but the scaling is off and i can only see a part of the screen, so maybe you could adjust that for the itch version

Game is beautiful but there's a bug, I can't play it fullscreen. It seems that it has a lot of qualities though!

wow, super polished. love the animations.

btw, i played a bit on the ludum dare website but there was no sound. there is sound on itch. not sure if this is a ldjam.com issue or not...

"Such a fun game! Both the art style and gameplay are super cute, and they fit the jam's theme perfectly. I'd love to see a full version of this!

Lovely game! A ton of polish and I enjoyed the artstyle. My only complaint was that the whistle sounds got quite irritating over time, and there is not enough variation in the whistle sound effects. Overall it is a very endearing game, with a fun yet challenging gameplay loop!

Really enjoyed the game, cute mood and artwork :) A bit tricky past level 2 as it all got too fast for me, but nice job!

The art, the icon so cuuuute!! and also fun. Though I didn't pass the level_2, there were so many cars urging me to hurry up and honking their horn :(

Would have been nice to be able to retry a level rather than fully resetting to the beginning. Once I figured out where the detection point was and how far **ahead** of the gates, it became a little easier. The frustrated drivers fading to black and making it harder to figure out their color is brilliant. I also liked that you are still able to tell the car color by the shape of the car even once they become black (still got it wrong a few times though). The increased speed of the later levels really became challenging and timing was **very** important. Would have been interesting to either have the last level as endless or as a second option after beating the game. The high score could be the amount of cars that you got through gates + the total time it took. The music is fantastic, as are the sound effects, and the art is an absolute delight. Very well done.

Very fun. The graphics are super cute and the animations of the supervisor putting strikes on your file was extremely fun. I laughed the first time I noticed the animation where they angrily just scribble all over the file because you failed. The jump in difficulty between stage two and stage three is enormous. I played probably six or seven runs and only made it past stage three twice. The cars run out of patience very quickly. This combined with how easy the first two stages are made it a bit difficult to replay very much. Still, I did play quite a bit. Wonderful art, sound and music, and the whole thing drips character. Very nice submission. Thanks for sharing!

Very charming game. Surprised how quickly I got overwhelmed with the cars and wish I was better at it! Love the art style and the design sketches you shared, font and colour palette choices are also really nice.

this is a great game all around, the concept is simple but it still has a bit of a learning curve and the art style is very unique. the difficulty spike at level 3 is insane though, it took many retries to be able to pass it. though I did feel motivated to keep making those retries which is something

The game is fun! The art style reminds me of an old iPad game called Gesundheit! The mechanics are very easy to understand.
I’d suggest improving just one thing: when I let cars in and then close the door, sometimes the next car still gets through anyway. I played it many times and got stuck on level 3 :) Well done!!

It's a good and simple game but that many cars losing color that fast is too hard.
