Field notes
The page lays out a compact arcade rulebook: raise a hand to make drivers brake, use a shibshib as a stop signal, and collect street-food effects such as molokhia invincibility or koshary's ankh. It lists nine unlockable characters, including two secrets, and three difficulty settings named Egypt, Masr, and Um al-donya. Day-and-night details include fanous lanterns, wedding convoys, football on an ahwa TV, and a Khan el-Khalili shop; feedback invites suggestions for characters, food, and hazards.
