After Rush hour 3 the game is practically automatic. I also got the (+$100 west -$50 east) and (+$100 east -$50 west) upgrades at the same time, which should theoretically give me $50 for escaping to either side but it did not seem to work. Where is the west and the east? When I touched the railguards nothing happened, and touching either tunnel entrance did not do anything either. Do I have to go from one railguard to another without being hit? I think that the game has very solid performance, physics and sound effects, but I could barely hear them, perhaps you should up the volume on them.

Yeah, I didn't have any time to do any balancing.

I was gonna add signs on top of the tunnels signaling which one is east and which one is west but I ran out of time!
