Claxon: Control de Tráfico

You're the invisible brain of traffic. You touch a traffic light and its axis opens; the crossed lane turns red. That's all you do, and it's enough to make a toy city function or collapse. You don't drive any cars. You distribute green light seconds, and they're a finite resource: every second you open one lane, you're closing another. HOW TO PLAY • Touch a traffic light to open its axis. The amber light lasts a second and a half, and no one gets stuck halfway across. • Each traffic light cools down for three seconds. There's no way to mash the button: you decide and stick to the decision. • The traffic lights don't change on their own. Everything that happens out there is your fault. • Drag a traffic officer to intersections that are getting out of hand. • Drivers are in a hurry and have little patience. When they get fed up, they honk. If they all honk at once, it's game over. WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLICATED • Ambulances in a real hurry, which you have to let go first. • Pedestrians crossing wherever they're supposed to, just when it's most inconvenient. • Lines that stretch the length of the block and intersections that get tangled up all on their own. 32 LEVELS IN THREE NEIGHBORHOODS From a single intersection to half the city at once. Three stars per level, and there's always one that resists. AROUND THE WORLD Your stars unlock truly famous intersections: • Shibuya (Tokyo): the tide of people crossing in every direction at once, and you decide when. • Times Square (New York): yellow taxis and giant screens. • Padre Anchieta (La Laguna): the roundabout with the highway passing underneath. • Gran Vía (Madrid): the Carrión, the Callao, and a traffic cop for rush hour. • Paris: the avenue with the Eiffel Tower in the background and the Arc de Triomphe, six avenues in a roundabout. • Abbey Road (London): the most famous pedestrian crossing in the world, driving on the left. Each city has its own trick,
