[Web/Free] I made a relaxing Traffic Escape puzzle game where you untangle gridlocked cars without crashing! Would love your feedback.

Hey indie gaming folks! 🖐️ Following the amazing feedback on my free online arrow escape game, I just released a brand new directional puzzle: Traffic Escape!

In this new game, you strategically tap gridlocked cars to clear a chaotic parking lot without crashing. It's completely free, instant-play in your browser (no downloads/sign-ups), and designed for a chill, satisfying spatial brain workout. 🧠✨

I'm currently fine-tuning mobile touch hitboxes and viewport scaling—I would love your honest feedback on how the controls and difficulty curve feel on your specific device! Try it out and let me know your thoughts! 🚗🚀

I really love these two games. I used to have a FOSS arrow game app installed but haven't for a while. I'll be keeping my browser tab pinned for this one. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Thank you so much! Hearing that you're keeping the tab pinned genuinely makes my day as an indie dev. 🥹

Since I'm building and maintaining these on my own without any huge marketing budget, word of mouth is pretty much everything for me. If you have any friends who enjoy casual brain teasers or spatial puzzles, passing the link along to them would mean the absolute world to me! 🙏

Thanks again for the support, and I hope you have a blast clearing out the traffic! 🚗🧩

Great work! Design feels clean and it runs great on my phone in full screen mode. I think you hit the chill/satisfying vibe very well, because it made me want to continue playing after each level.

The only criticism I have is that it was difficult to visually identify which direction the cars would end up traveling. I would have liked some kind of pointed shape to help indicate direction.

These were fun to play. I like the arrow one better because it was more clear where the arrows would go, while the especially short car lines were really hard to understand
