If you are looking to escape from a traffic jam, what could be better than playing a traffic management simulation game? (not if you’re the driver of course: don’t play this game if you’re driving, actually!!!). Traffic can create stressful situations, but with Traffix 3D, the effect is the exact opposite: you will feel pleasure simply by tapping and holding your finger on the screen and letting the cars pass through the traffic lights. Traffix 3D is actually a game derived from a Premium title powered by Infinity Games: Traffix, but it provides new mechanics, 3D graphics, 100+ cities, dozens of new vehicles and a newly developed atmosphere inspired by the minimalism from the premium version. Unlike the Premium Version, Traffix 3D is 100% free! The goal of Traffix 3D is the same as the Premium Traffix game: Avoid accidents, but at all cost. If you let a single car crash, then you will need to restart the level. You pass the level after safely delivering to their destination a specific number of cars. In other words, you must keep both cars and pedestrians happy. Lastly, you should build your car collection! There are 3 ways to unlock cars: By getting in-app currency: You can win coins by passing the levels successfully. These coins allow you to unlock rare cars. By finding keys during the gameplay and unlocking classic cars from their garages By mysterious ways that will unlock you some Crazy Cars! You will be travelling between different cities from New York, Roma, Berlin, Palermo or Seoul. More cities will be added: Feel free to drop us an e-mail if you want your city to be featured in the game.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Puzzle Catcher at 93% against Traffix 3D's 25%. Puzzle Catcher also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Traffix 3D's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 33). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
