Choking the Flow: A Review of Traffic Control
I'll be the first to admit, I'm hooked on Traffic Control's frantic rhythm. This game is all about timing, making split-second decisions to either clog or clear the roads. The moment you start, you're thrown into a chaotic world where every vehicle is a potential threat or opportunity. The core loop is simple yet addictive: merge lanes, clear roads, and watch your score skyrocket. But don't get too comfortable – the game has a nasty habit of throwing in surprise traffic jams or roadblocks, forcing you to adapt on the fly.
The controls are responsive, with a smooth keyboard layout that makes it easy to navigate the roads. For touch devices, the game is just as intuitive, with a well-designed interface that lets you tap and swipe your way to success. One small tip: use the edges of the screen to your advantage, as the game's hitbox is slightly smaller than the visible area. This will help you shave precious seconds off your times.
As you progress, you'll unlock new levels and scoring systems. The game tracks your best times, and the leaderboards are a great way to compare your skills with others. But be warned: the difficulty spikes are real, and you'll need to master the timing of your merges and clears to make it to the top.
Quick tip: running the game in full screen mode helps readability, especially when you're in the zone and don't want to be distracted by the iframe's borders. With that said, I highly recommend giving Traffic Control a try. It's a game that will keep you on your toes and leave you begging for more.
