How does your game fit the theme?
Since the team was "roles reversed" I decided to pick a typical cop chasing robber type game and put a spin on it. The robbers find out that the cops robbed the bank before they did. WHAT?! You have to chase them down and get that money back. Then you will return the money back to the Bank! I also used the role reversed theme in a game mechanic. Instead of an exclamation at an obstacle in your path, you decide what to say first, and that decides the obstacles on screen.

Interesting concept! The style was simple yet cute making it so charming!

Man the title screen animation was fire, felt like I was in an actual tv show. Actual gameplay reminded me of games I used to play on my game boy when i was a kid, very fun.

I did find out that the only thing that ever spawns in the middle of the roads is cones, and you can just choose for them to never to spawn, so you win the whole game by standing in the middle without moving. 

If I played the game without chilling in the middle I think you could lower the difficulty just a bit, maybe at least make the sides of the road not kill you?

Anyway it was fun to play it, and I may just take some notes on how to do magnificent title screens.

The concept for this game is very fun and interesting! I like the simplistic art style used in this game, it makes it feel very retro. One thing I would say is that the game goes by very fast. Perhaps adding in a warning system when obstacles are about to appear so it gives players more reaction time? I was able to stay alive for a while by staying in between both roads, which kind of feels like cheating. Other than that, this is a cool game!

I love the idea here, and the cutscenes are dialogue are great. One thing to consider though is that up until the last 30 seconds I was able to just sit in the middle of the road, until there were traffic cones. Overall, great submission!

The take on the theme is pretty funny, and the presentation was good; I liked the intro, cutscenes and music. But in terms of gameplay this is mostly just a game of dodging scrolling obstacles which is fine, just not all that unique. The speech bubbles were pretty neat as a way of letting you choose what kind of obstacles you want; selecting all of them just to see what they do was enjoyable.

The intro cutscenes were great! The traffic was very fast so I ended up having to resort to driving on the center black line to reach the end. But I still had fun dodging and weaving through the oncoming obstacles.

thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback! I realized that I should have scaled the difficulty of the game better so I’ll be sure to do that if I update the game at a later time.
