Solid, solid game! Lots of fun, and nice artwork. Could use a bit of sound, though.

Really fun game with the added bonus of being able to play on web!

Like the upgrade system and the penalties for not stopping/leaving doors open keeps it interesting.

As for advice, maybe some audio or music otherwise it is just silent along with some of the English seeming a bit off?

Like the art style too!

Nice game, will rate when ratings open!

Fun stuff. Love the people swarming towards the doors at each station. Very much how I experience it on my daily commute. Love the details like being able to drive with the doors open haha.

Great stuff for 2 days!

These are some nice graphics and definitely a nice Style! I don't know why but I really like the relaxing movement of a train and certainly crowds in a train station!

Really fun! Pretty solid also. The game system is very punishing (2s late? really? ahahah) punish.png

This game deserves audio/music, and maybe some other trains.

Love the swarming ppl when you open the doors!

It's a nice overall game, thanks for your work! I also finished my jam entry, check it out :)

Need some audio but really fun to play! Good job man!

Game was fun, but I noticed that the max speed didn't upgrade once I bought the 2nd upgrade for it.

The system design was really good though.

Nicely done, not too engaging, but good overall.

Very cool graphics and animations! I can see that you put a lot of effort into that. I like that there are so many unique people and I like the overall minimalistic but throughout consistent art style, great job!

I would have like some sounds to go along with it but I know how hard it is to get everything done in 48 hours :-)

The gameplay is a bit dull in my opinion, very repetitive and 10000$ is a lot when I can only make about 400 a day :-)

Also, having the doors open will fine you 50$ PER SECOND. If you do not close them right away, you lose quite a lot.

Overall a very good looking game, keep up the good work!

It's like papers please for the the subway. I love that the end goal is a plane ticket to hawaii

the camera work and gameplay loop are super polished

I'm glad it let me go in reverse and drop everyone off at the wrong station lol

I never thought train driving would be fun. Great job!

It's a fun simulator but I don't get the relation with the theme?

I liked your game. I just didn't understand the distance counter, but the gameplay was good and I had fun. Good job :slight_smile:

Super funny game with a cute implementation. Unfortunately it was a terrible stutter on the web and the camera movement in front of the station just made the situation even worse. But I won't deduct any points because it was still a lot of fun.

Hawaii forever! Nice relaxing game. It could benefit a lot from some sound and music, but the art is really nice and stopping the train exactly right is very satisfying. It does need some other gameplay elements to remain engaging longer term though, as it really only gets easier over time. I'm not really sure what to suggest, though it sounds like you have some ideas of your own.

randomhuman 2018-05-02 15:35

Oh yeah I meant to point out that the max speed upgrade doesn't seem to work as advertised, the acceleration upgrade seems to also increase the max speed.

Sadly the web version doesn't run very well for me(that might just be the browser though).

But I still enjoyed the game, cool idea!

Pretty cool game, liked the art and especially the tiny humans. Missing the theme connection, but still at good job!
