Traffic Cop Palm game guide
Goal of the game
In Traffic Cop Palm you play with your hand in front of the camera. Two roads cross in the middle. Hold your OPEN PALM over the STOP sign of a road (left for the side road, top for the main road) to stop its cars. Move your palm away (or make a fist) to let them go.
Every car that crosses safely scores — crashes cost a life! Drivers who wait too long lose patience and go anyway, so keep both roads moving. Power-ups: Freeze (all traffic stops), Slow-Mo, Heart, Shield and Double.

- With a Shield active, play aggressively in Traffic Cop Palm; the next mistake is free.
- Good, even lighting from the front makes tracking in Traffic Cop Palm far more reliable than a bright window behind you.
