Crashed, couldn't even start. :(
Cool idea! It's like Snake, but with less apples and more bullets =D
Had lots of fun with it. The graphics are simple, but I liked it a lot. Sound is fitting, and seems like a solid game. Good job!
I extracted it with 7-zip, but it wouldn't do anything when ran.
A very intense version of snake!
It took me a while to figure out that your TRAIN IS MOVING! (There's no reference to see that it's moving) Very cool once I figured it out. Those squares are jerks.
Nice game, but it was hard to understand how to play, whats the point of shooting, what is this little arrow... A little tutorial would be perfect :D
Fun! A little background or particles or trail behind your train would have helped a lot to give the impression of motion of the train, I thought I was just standing still to start with.
Tried unzipping with winrar and 7zip, no dice. Won't run once unpacked.
Windows 10 might be the issue here?
This is a good compo, I like the concept. Nice work!
Shooting from chariots is a very clever idea. It makes your game unique. I had a lot of fun playing it.I think you could improve it this way :
- Changing shape is not enough to make monsters different from bonus. I often make mistakes. Maybe choose a different color for bonus or if you want to keep black&white style just make bonus way bigger.
- You dont have to add another key for shoot if your game need mouse and left clic is unused.
- Draw a simple grid or anything giving the player the feeling of moving. At first I was looking for a key to move forward because I didnt understood I was already moving.
For people experiences crashes, installing .NET 4.5.2 might solve it. Had the same kinds of problems with my last entry. Probably going to be switching to LÖVE next LD.
I didn't have a programme to open the file!
Very cool idea, couldn't get too big of a score though (2550). Overall, I think it fits the theme very good, though It's pretty much snake with a twist. The audio is okayish and the graphics isn't much to look at but it serves the purpose well! Good job :)
Love it!
I'm so glad I read the comments. Funny that saying it's a train was not enough to make me realize the train is moving.
Absolutely love the bullet charing mechanic on the train cars, brilliant. And the different delay in each slot makes it very satisfying to shoot.
Excellent job.
Couldnt start either :(
Already had .NET 4.5.2, didnt help.
Oh well.
Really needs to be more clear that the train is moving where you point it. Before I realised that, the game was very unfun and confusing. After I realised that (which I only found out from the comments), it was quite enjoyable. Having space as the shoot button is weird. It's probably be better to click to shoot. Great visual style, nice audio unless you're shooting constantly, at which point it gets a bit grating. No music, but it doesn't really need music.
Amazing game, really fun!
Took a small while to figure out how to play it properly but it was quite enjoyable when I did! Could have done with some visuals/ui to give the player some more info but fun nonetheless.
Btw, installing .NET 4.5.2 fixed the crash at startup for me.

I really like this game. :-) Simple graphics, great concept with shooting chariots. I like that you grow, but you become easier target for enemies, so they destroy some of your chariots and then again. Nice loop. :-)
No comment ... :o Very nice ...
Hah, I initially thought "wow, this is stupidly difficult" But I got the hang of it after a couple more tries. Got a few carriages and pwned some squares with my laz0rs or something xD
Shame the graphics weren't top-down city-scape with cowboys or something, that would have made it a lot more entertaining.
The concept was kinda fun and it sorta follows the 2 button controls (except having 3 buttons and a mouse) and follows the growing theme so the only low vote this gets is on graphics. :)
Really interesting, challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/6QI1ZQ7v1fA
