Very easy to get into and plays nicely. Honk scared me at first. Survived a good bit then got splatted. When I first saw the photo I thought it was going to be a frogger game and it kinda is except you are always in the road.

Great!

Nice little game. One suggestion I may have is maybe add collecting items(coins?) while avoiding the cars would make the game much more exciting.

Love Pico games! I like the style and the take on the theme. Not super noticeable, but I think moving up and left at the same time was doubling the speed. Overall though, great game, keep up the awesome work!

I like the simplicity and purity of vision here. You simply must avoid being run over by an increasingly fast wave of traffic. The cars do not care about you. The game does not try to trick you. It looks nice, the controls are perfect and the sounds match the aesthetic. :red_car:

Nice and simple Frogger / Crossy Road alike. Wouldn't have minded there being a little more to it, though.

Since the possum won't move into the grass, it really is inevitable. The cars appear to only come from the right, so a good strategy is to hug the left of the screen. Nice, simple, and it fits the theme pretty well.

Well done, I loved some of the little details like the cars wheels and the wiggly tail.

Very pick up and play, very nice feeling too. The difficulty escalates nicely as it goes making for a pretty good sense of progression and the graphics are absolutely adorable!

Nice game! I liked the art, and the music was simple but effective. Did the best I could for the poor lil guy!

Nice atmoshpere and cute graphics with complimentary sound. Pretty chill game although maybe I would have liked the difficulty to scale just a tad quicker since restarting could be a little slow. Well put together and polished though with stats which I always loves since it makes a simple game replayable and appeals to thoise hi-score kinda people! Like someone else mentioned, it might be nice to have cars coming from both sides since you can just stick to the left of the screen and it renders moving left and right almost pointless. Amazing compo entry though and functions perfectly!

I like the simplicity, it works well! My only wish is that the difficulty would increase faster.
