Pothole Party

What is the game?

Pothole Party starts with the readable pressure of Snake: keep a moving crew under control as the line grows. The twist is that the people in that line have work to do. Drop a worker at a repair site, keep your route moving and return after the job is finished. The changing neighborhood is the result of your route, rather than decoration placed over an ordinary score chase.

How to play

1. Steer with the mobile joystick or the keyboard movement controls shown in the game. Plan the next turn before the crew reaches it.
2. Drop workers at active jobs and give them time to finish. Picking a worker up early leaves the repair incomplete, so an efficient route is more than the shortest line between targets.
3. A run continues until you lose. Score thresholds open further settings; improvement should give you a reason to keep the same run going.

A good first run

Make a loop that leaves time for a repair to complete. Collecting somebody too early wastes the visit, and a crowded return route becomes harder as the crew grows.

The idea behind it

The heroes do visible civic work while the sideline cast complains. The comedy works because the street visibly improves in front of the hecklers. Repairs and character encounters are fictional game scenes.
