Simple and short point and click adventure. Nice humor but not sure why you opt out of the humor category.
Thanks for the game !
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD47 → Last Trip of the Monorail!

Simple and short point and click adventure. Nice humor but not sure why you opt out of the humor category.
Thanks for the game !
I'm not sure why you opted out of so many categories: this is definitely worthy of a humour rating. It's short and sweet, and I enjoyed the writing and the mouthsounds.
@zwodahs and @john-gabriel First, thanks for playing :D About the categories and opting out.. I was REALLY tired when submitting, so read it as the exact opposite! I have changed it. Thanks for letting me know. Thank you both for the kind words :D
Nice little adventure! Good item combination UI.
P.S: Loved the ending particles, nice touch xD
@javicepa Never did anything like this before, and the combination code, ended up being a bit messy, but it works.:) Thanks for playing :smiley:
I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected! Well done and an excellent take on the theme.
Very nice, reminds me of old games that I used to love to play. Too bad it is so short, I would have liked to play more but I understand that in Ludumdare you don't have much time :)
Ah, I am a hero, I managed to save the conductor, cowboy and myself! I love them cute little 2d graphics, I just couldn't see the "Stuck in a loop" theme anywhere?

Very interesting and polished entry, well done. The combining is a bit confusing, but I made it work :) I like the voice recording :D
I'm glad you put the humor category back up! That was short and fun, I had a good time. Good job!
@daitli The Stuck in a loop was to be made clear from a minimap, showing the monorail going around in a loop, but I simply ran out of time, so it's only mentioned in the intro text. Thanks for playing :slight_smile:
@tomeks Nice. :) Next time I need to get some data on how long people are taking to finish the game. I know it can be done in 30 sec, but only because I know what to do, and I didn't have time to add any misleading items, objects, and people. Thanks for playing and saving them all :id:
@incd021 took me around 3-4 minutes, which is fine, after all it's very short window of time. The game remings me "the Final Station" from steam. It's definitely an idea to expand upon.
@phillserrazina Glad you liked it :D
@tomeks "the Final Station".. Got to check that out.. Thanks for letting me know how long it took you. :thumbsup:
Nice and short point and click adventure. I had fun with it. It made me feel smart when I figured out how to combine stuff. Also the monologues provided enough hints to help the player without being to obvious.
@rex64 Thanks for the kind words, for playing and rating, Thanks. :D
That was a pretty cool little puzzle I really like that you have voice over, and some really cool humour.
Well done, I hope it scores well, it's a good game for such a short time.

@tolmera Thank you :smile: Very kind words.
The fireworks in the end really brought a smile on my face! :tada::tada::tada::tada::tada::tada::tada::tada::tada::tada:
Funny game. I liked the graphics, expecially the ending particles!
An old school point and click adventure. Great stuff, is the ending meaningful? By 'stop' the train do you mean destroy it?
That was short and sweet! I enjoyed the writing (especially the fact that there were 42 screws - that answers everything ;)). Graphics are cool for a compo game as well. Really impressive work to do on your own! If you had time to add some "false leads" it would be truly glorious.
Music gets very repetitive very fast, so thank you for including an option to mute it :grin:
Sorry, comment got posted twice while LDjam page had some trouble being Stuck In a Loop :laughing: So... as the site doesn't allow deleting comments, only editing... What can I tell you, that I haven't already? I can tell you that I played your game because I saw your tweet. And that it had a (dubious?) honor of being the first game I played this jam! :smile:
@coding4rtist Thanks :smiley: That's very kind of you.
@david-hunter I did have an idea of a gory ending, with the train stopping a bit to abrupt, and having everyone aboard hit the cockpit window. But there where so much more I would like to have done before implementing that, so reminder for the next LD, make a smaller game.. SMALLER ... Thanks for playing :smile:
@fabula-rasa Thanks for allowing my game to be "First choice of some Twtter users" :smile: Might use that in promoting the game.. Thanks for the kind words about the writing, it's my first game ever having more text than "Press Space to start". So glad it's been well received. The monorail should have been littered with false leads and useless items. But again, time!.. :/ I know the "music" would annoy everyone, and have once forgot a mute option, that will never happen again! Thanks for all your feedback and for playing :smile:
Hilarious! I love the jokes and the overall mood of the game. Such a lighthearted quest that looks and sounds complete and polished. Great work! :)
@yngvarr You are to kind, but I humbly accepts you praise :laughing: Thanks for playing and the kind words :smile:
Great game! Always love point and click adventure, and this game was really nice experience. Loves the writing, and the audio.
@polusi Thanks, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the positive feedback everyone is giving. Thank you so much for playing, rating and giving feedback. Thanks.
Nice, great little game ! Too short :c
@slavi Thanks for playing. :smile: And Yes, way to short, but again the limited time, to implement bag, item merging, item dependencies, and everything else, simply ran out. :timer:
Short but sweet. The dialogue is the highlight I think; it has this kind of witty charm to it, which is super important for this kind of game.
I beat this lol. I really liked the feel of the game. It's inspiring to make content that is interactive like this. I loved the old guy that randomly had rope yeeee HAAAAAAA
@commanderstitch Thank for the nice words and for playing. Only reason for having *spare* rope, was to not having to have an extra sprite and logic for it. Would be very simple now I think about it.. Doh! I loved the game Day of The Tentacle, and want to make something like it one day. So for this LD I had to try doing some of the basics. Yeeee Haaaaarrrrrr!!!! :laughing: Possible to get a Linux version of your entry?
It is a good puzzle game. It would be very interesting to play an expanded version. I found the experience in general very cool. Congratulations.
Really fun adventure game. Loved the dialogue and the fast monorail theme was great! 10/10 Would talk to Cowboy again. Great entry!
Great work! Lots of good humor in the game, and having come from just playing your LD46 game 10min ago (I missed it in April, sorry!) I see a lot of great enhancements! You had time to animate your adorable pixel character this round, and the voice overs sound higher quality (they're great in both games, don't get me wrong ;) ), and coding an inventory and item interactions is impressive! A+ stuff!
@vphyre Glad you liked it. I'm trying to come up with a good story to expand on the game, but so far I haven't been able to come up with anything that makes me want to give it a go. Maybe in time.
@datadazer Thanks for the kind words. :smile: Haven't written any dialog for a game before, so happy that so many people enjoyed it. Thanks for playing and the positive feedback.
@redhermit You are too kind :smile: But thanks! I did spend most of the time coding as I've never done anything like it before. But like what I came up with regarding the item merging and having to have a certain item to access others. I did within an hour of the reveal of the theme know what I wanted to do, so that helped a lot on what I had time to do. But next time I think I'll try and make something smaller/simpler and spend more time on the other elements beside coding.
Nice game! Graphics and sound work well, the puzzles aren't impossible, and I managed to survive, what more can anyone wish for? :)
If I'm allowed some minor nitpicks, when you have an item selected that you *can* actually use on something, you still get the 🚫 sign which is a bit confusing, and maybe the "speed lines" are a bit too flickery. Nothing important though.
!> I want to know where I can buy rope that strong though! ;)
Hey INCD021! Had a lot of fun with this one, I wonder what more ideas you would have implemented given more time. You already saw me play the game but here it is again, just one click away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkR8lNDoteU
Thanks for submitting! 😊
@philstrahl Thanks for taking the time to play. :) FYI, no need to have any item selected to interact with a specific object needing that item, as long as the item is in the bag, it's all good.
PS - The pilot had more Zzzz to talk about.
Its a Monorail :)
A really nice Adventure Good Graphics, nice riddles, great text.
Awesome Game Well Done
