How it feels

A surprisingly deep traffic simulation disguised as a simple paint game, demanding careful city-planning under a joke-like exterior.

What players say

Players see potential in the freeform road-drawing mechanic and frequent updates, but say the game is still rough. Traffic jams and crashes are common, the white background is painful to look at, and features like autosave and emergency services are missing. Some compare it to a lightweight Cities: Skylines.
