Har har. Pardon the pun. #;-}>
Anyway, this was quite the fun street-traffic-flow management game. I just played it for 15 minutes or so and ended up witha 143 score. It didn't really start to get challenging until around 100 cars had passed out of the city... that's when it started to get much more fast... and much more fun, as well.
I thought the gameplay was fun, you drew a pretty good map of city blocks with enough interesting and different things on it so that it wasn't too boring to stare at the entire time... You featured a few car colours, but I had a few ideas for further improvements:
A) different car TYPES (lengths, sizes, trucks as well, etc.)
B) different car SPEEDS (that would definitely up the challenge)
C) make them drive on the same side of the road both N/S and W/E (something seemed strange... then I realised: W/E, the cars are driving on the LEFT side of the street... but N/S, the cars are driving on the RIGHT side of the street... just something I noticed)
D) Perhaps after we hit a certain score (or time) on this first map, the game would automatically shift to a NEW level (and city map). That would increase replayability and interest in the game, methinks.
Just some tips in case you're looking for feedback should you ever do another version or sequel to this. It was a fun game, though, and in the end... the traffic came in so thick at the corners (upper left corner is what did me in... had a huge block of blue cars from the top... and a huge block of yellow cars from the left... and they both couldn't get through in time for the queue to not kill my game, alas). Good challenge for those of us with long enough attention spans to get past the slow and easy start of the game. :::nods:::
