Thanks Jeroen. My intent was to create a short game where you are guaranteed to play it at least for a couple of minutes (hence no death) but not much longer than that. When time runs out and the cops chase you, the game ends either by them catching you or by you escaping. If I were to just penalize the score, the game could potentially go on forever and the player would drop out after getting bored.
I agree that the cop may be too hard to escape from, though. The trick is to use passing cars as shields, since the cop will run into these and slow down. I think I escape 3 out of every 4 times.
