Just noticed that the screenshot I uploaded isn't from the final version! :-D You can see by the thickness of the 'floor'. Also the level looks completely different now!

Choo Choo. This game has alot of potential.
I almost gave up after the first run buuuuut I decided that it was worth a second try. And a third. And a fourth. And a ... A good game, actually. Well done.
Took me a minute to realize why the train kept stopping until I read about the fuel mechanic in the description. The game has potential, but needs a lot of work in the level design department.
Hi Remco!
The game clearly is very physics based, a first time in your game lineup I see, nice! :) I had some trouble with the controls, my train sometimes flipped me on its butt and then I was stuck spinning my locowheels. After a few tries I got the balance of speed vs burning things kinda rights, but it was a hard balance.
Perhaps keeping the road a smooth at the start, and only slowly introducing gaps would help with that difficult start. A 'jump' / boost maneuver would perhaps also be nice to get out of jams.
Tried the level editor too, gave myself a bit more fuel, and that helped.
Clearly more of a tech demo for this game, but interesting nonetheless. :) Also liked the audio, got an Arabic/Aladin vibe from it 😄
