Absolutely loved your red light, green light puzzle game! It's addictive and thrilling. On the hardest level, it's a challenge to keep track, but that just adds to the excitement!

great little game you have made here :smile:

Hi there !

Pretty cool idea ! I realized that you could use 1-2-3-4 keys in easy mode, It's easier than clicking on the lights directly (and I prefer playing that way), too bad there is no keybinds for the other mode.

The difficult mode is too hard for me, too much chaos.

Good job !

The idea is super fun and I had fun trying the game. Make the light chance colors felt a weird, and I am still not sure if I did some wrong. But overall an fun little game.

Fun little game and interesting take on the theme. Was hard at first but you get the hang of it really quick how to organize the lights.

@bredera Thank you very much!! :)
@Ampo Thank you very much for you feedback! You are absolutly right about the keybinds in the difficult level and I will add them asap! And I can comprehend that the difficult level is too challanging and I'll reduce its difficulty on the late stages. Then again, thank you very much! :)
@jk5000 Thank you for your feedback!:)
@nicholaspfo Thank you! :)

Innovative game, surprisingly addictive and most importantly fun! Develop these further, add a bit more levels and this will be a very good one. Thank you! This was not time wasted, neither for you nor me :D

Really enjoyed the game's concept! Managing the traffic gets intense as you go, making for a fun challenge. The light change colors add an extra layer of depth to the gameplay. It's tough but rewarding once you get the hang of it. A few more levels or challenges would take this even further. Great job!

Great concept, and it works well. I did think the easy level was too easy and the difficult one was a little difficult. Good music, would love to see a few more different levels.

@captainzo @gnum @gorglomux @artilor901z thank you! :)
@unbugged Thank you very much! I might wanna do a 3D version with this but I am not sure yet :D
@pabloabraham thank you for your feedback! :)
@chartle Thank you for you honest feedback! :) I thought the same about the difficulty, so I reworked the easy level, so it is not as boring now as it was before and I also decreased the difficulty of the difficult level :)
I'll maybe add some more levels in the future :)

I really like your take on the theme! A very fun and relaxing entry. Having a random chance of a car running a red every so often or allowing rights on red for specific lights could be a cool idea if you ever plan on expanding this in the future.

That was fun.

I got more points on hard than easy, it was simpler for me to figure out a strategy that worked for it.

The cars are a bit accident-prone, colliding in situations that happen on the road normally.

Adding pedestrians and cyclists could be interesting.
