Nice work Jelle. Keep it up.

Nice little train game, the timer in the top right was a little bit hard to look at and I don't think it needed to be presented as a float, other than that the visuals are amazing, and I really enjoyed watching the train move around the tracks :)

Really fun game. Could see myself getting lost here for hours. I like the art style,, its really cute and the animations go really well with it, especially the level transition. I had a small issue where i was able to move along a track piece that didn't exist, but apart from that the game is really well made and fun.

Cool game. I like the graphics and the concept, the puzzle thing gives a lot of possibilities. I also like the transitions when you restart or go to the main menu. The train and the tracks bug and look weird sometimes. The audio it´s fine. I´m not sure if you did, but I suggest using multiple songs if possible in case you didn´t. It needs some work but of course 72h are 72h. Cool take on the theme and cool game overall. Nice work!

Great game, the train was just a bit slow. but overall enjoyed it alot.

Very cute train game, I like toy-ish graphics! From what I noticed, train moves weird when you overlap tracks. Also raised trachs (i.e ones you create bridge with) are hard to grab with mouse - probably, their collision box doesn't match their model (you can grab them if you click below it somehow). Otherwise, very cute little game!

UPD: I agree with @themosterts, train moves a bit slow. It's OK on first levels, but as tracks grow, you wish it moved faster.

Liked the model of the trains and passengers and the scene transitions were great! It was a little weird that, on the crossings level, the train would stop for the cars :thinking:

The game looks super cute! The transition between levels is awesome, the way you integrated tutorial and hints in the game is both informative and fitting the theme. With all this cuteness I still managed to get stuck in one of the levels, but I just genuinely bad at puzzle games. Really cool overall, great job!

Very Pretty. Feels more like the prototype of a model train simulator than a puzzle game.

Nice visuals. Cute transition animation, cool camera moving. I think it would be much easier and clear to use clear grid system and unit, since I can't make other answer other than the correct one which you have intended. Well done!

Well done. I like the charm of the game. The animations/transitions are great. The tutorial is well made and does it's job.

Really cute! Instant memories of my old model train <3

"Physics" were a bit janky for me (train carriages would get stuck temporarily). Maybe that was due to my low framerate on my potato.

Loved the visuals and sounds. Overalls seems really polished!

Congrats guys! It's sooooo fun! Didn't expect anything less from you 2 :D

Fun little game. The graphics are really lovely. And the mood is relaxing :)

Nice entry overall.

Cool game.. came here from the video.. nice work.. subscribed

Nice work, awesome graphic style! Music was a little repetitive I found (the ukulele loop, the music piece would have been better if it was twice as long and if some of the time that loop wasn't playing). That's the only criticism I have.

Hey, Ollie had a pretty similar idea as we did with our game OnRail :grin:

I watched the "Making Of" video before I found the game, and then came to try it.

So, I have nothing negative to say about it, it's a beautiful game :) You pretty much hit the bullseye on mood, aesthetic, audio and visuals - went a bit different route than we did, but I'd say you did an even better job.

I especially like the consistent visual style, very clean, cartoon-ish, geometric, and reminiscent of actual model train set toys.

Great job!

Such a cute game. The train tracks that go over the river are a bit fiddly with their movement boxes, but otherwise it worked well. I could see this being a full length game.

I love this game. It reminds me of times when I played with my model trains. My father is a model train collector, and I had to like trains because I was always around them. My father liked trains so much that he always chose to travel everywhere by train. I inherited that love for trains and traveling by railroads around the world. Europe is probably the best-connected place by railroads in the world. I traveled around Germany by train and used https://www.dbfahrplanauskunft.net/de/ to see the schedule. It was super fun!
