OP here - Miss traffic?? I do! Check out Traffic City to relive your frenetic commuting experience.

This is a gameplay test. If it gets sufficient usage I might build a higher fidelity version.

Let me know what you think :D

Features

- Drive through a retro “3D” cityscape

- Weave through traffic with keyboard controls

- Get points when you pass sedans, SUVs, and semis

- Save your top score

Tech

- HTML5 Canvas parallax 3D rendering engine

- Pre-rendering with OffscreenCanvas and module Worker threads

NOTE - Only works on desktop & requires Chrome 80+ or similar

Code is not open sourced but I’m happy to do so given enough interest.
