| Mr. Traffic

Dumpling Design has announced the official launch of Mr. Traffic, a charming traffic management game that's out now on iOS (with an Android version soon to follow). Players will have to tap to conduct traffic along a busy intersection, but the catch is that things get progressively more difficult as ghosts, UFOs and even dinosaurs eventually try to cross the street willy-nilly.

In Mr. Traffic, players must help the titular hero survive an admin error that turned his musical conductor career into a traffic conductor job. The one-touch arcade game lets players manage a procedurally generated gridlock to avoid accidents, all while dressing up Mr. Traffic himself in both fashionable and not-so-fashionable outfits.

In particular, there are more than a thousand fashion combos for Mr. Traffic to showcase, which include him showering with a rubber ducky, sleeping with some snot on his nose and more. He can also dress up as various pop culture references such as Link and even Bob Ross.

Different cars have different speeds, so you'll have to master the road's rhythm to combine your musical prowess with traffic management. You can tap to make cars stop or go, but the variety of entities that cross the street can bring their own unique effects onto the road as well.

If you're eager to give the game a go, Mr. Traffic is now available to download on the iOS App Store. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases. You can also have a look at the embedded clip above to get a feel of the game, or visit the official website for more info. The hilarious title bagged first place in Pocket Gamer's first-ever Big Hypercasual Pitch as well.
