Clever use of theme!
Does not seem to work (W7/64) - the taskbar icon comes up, but nothing else happens, no window is seen and it has to be killed in task manager.
puzzle is nice, but seemed a bit buggy? I didn't try out the harder one, but one of the simple one's trigger can pull you back and make the train go opposite direction, even if I actually turned to the right direction.
The game was developed on W7/64, so that's really odd. I'll get a second computer and fire it up on a clean install and see if it works, or if I can get it to work.
A very neat game. Something it took me embarrassingly long to work out is how the signals actually function, so for future players:
Red means the train goes straight on, blue means it turns. If the train is coming at the junction from the correct direction, of course.
C++ and SFML are cross-platform, I'll try to make a GNU/Linux binary. Providing cross-platform binaries is very good...
Sadly, I don't currently have access to any means of compiling a Linux binary. Any help is appreciated!
Indeed this was clever
Received a comment off-site telling me that it runs with no issues using wine.
Hmm, game started but whenever i clicked on an intersection it wouldn't change, the color only changed
Neat idea. Runs fine in Wine.
Very nice theme, the enemy was a bit too tough imo.
Im gluten intolerant so this is fine for consumption :)
Really clever idea! Took me some time to understand how the game works, but finally I managed to win :D
One thing that irked me is that the train would instantly flip 180° and go back where it just came from if I flipped an exit just before it went through. Essentially meaning every time it was about to kill the girl it instead went the wrong way.
It was a decent idea though. Fit the theme well.
Nice use of the them. Also, it's good to see a puzzle game. The ability of the hero to turn the train 180° is a bit frustrating though.
Sorry, it doesn't work in my Win7/64bit. Tried compatibility mode, but it doesn't work.
