The music was annoying, and idn't establish the tone of the game well. Jumping on the bounty hunters wasn't a great way to handle the combat aspect of the game. This was like "Frogger" but without a way to win. How about a gun? Maybe a way to improve your character? Better jump distance, faster jump reflex, anything to spend the "money" on? How about more than one shape of car? Different types of enemies? Really, this looks like it was just slapped together in an afternoon when you forgot your project was due.

Thanks for trying it out and giving feedback. This was a Ludum Dare 44 game jam project and is now a work in progress for a more complete experience. I've added dynamic traffic, plus a melee and a ranged weapon, with lots more to come!
You earn money. But don't waste your time searching through the game for a way to actually use the money to impact the game in any way. There isn't any. It's just a glorified score system.
And the music is just... pathetically weak. The graphics are annoyingly bad. No variety and the road doesn't contrast sharply enough with the vehicles.
The sound effects are also weak.
This just screams low effort.

Like the idea, i think if you add better art and sound FXs this gonna be an awesome game. Maybe put more cyberpunk style, like futuristic cars and explotions or dismember enemies when they die.
I suggets, if player dies at edge of the screen, then enemies too

ok concept
Simple but effective.
Nice arcade action. Fitting music
Sound effects could use a bit extra volume so hitting enemies and splatting them on the road feels more satisfactory.
