To download from my Google Drive account, click "Windows" and then "File -> Download"

Or you can download just the .exe file using the \/ arrow on that appears on the right when you hover your mouse over the file.

Great take on the theme :)

I love the premise, all villains should tie people (and by people I always imagined them as women) to train tracks.

I admire the Heroes perseverance. They keep on going despite everyone they try to save getting splatted. Great idea, particularly the mustache mechanic, and pretty fun too!

Classic, I really enjoyed this:)

It's a decent memory pattern game. Could help if you sound effects at different pitches play to reinforce the memory of where the trains are going to be. Really needs some squishy sound effects and a train horn and a diabolical snicker to make this a classic.

Awesome! Fun memory game. It might be nice to have the traintracks colored differently or something to help tell them apart. It is kind of hard to distinguish between all the tracks when the arrows flash by quickly. The mustach length was really funny.

@csanyk @handCraftedRadio Yup that was all planned, just needed more time! 6 hours is not enough!!

Scored 5200. Not sure why I found a train consisting of the word "TRAIN" so funny.

Excellent theme tie in. Interesting gameplay mechanic. I really like your graphics. The whole of the game is very pleasant, and I love the filler boxes with the word train on them. :) Well done for 48 hours!

Fun idea!

It's Simon Says for psychopaths! Obvious filler graphics are too bad but not overly distracting. I don't like Simon Says tho, so only played it for a short while :)

Take that you stupid hero!

Nice improvement for memory games.

Simon Says tie people to the train tracks.

Very funny entry.

Fun game, I'm not sure how I can play to get this hero splat bonus, but still fun.

bipolarmike 2012-12-19 16:42

Hero splat bonus happens when you kill every victim in a level :)

Nice, I got 2900. This is like "I'm packing my suitcase", a german children's game, just with much more gore ^^ Some splat-sounds or animations would also have been great :)

Funny idea (although rather morbid :D) I agree with csanyk's comment about the change in audio to reinforce a train's location, but considering the press of time it's well done. Also, I really liked that the train is simply shown as "train" and the hero is simply shown as "hero," reminds me of VVVVVV

moomoo112 2012-12-28 07:35

just like an extremely hard version of simon!

Had a good laugh playing this, maybe try port this to a mobile device in the future?

nice take on a simple mechanic. too bad there was no sound. Enjoyed playing it.
