This game is so cute and the style is very cohesive and well done. The code works well and the colliders hit perfectly. I do wish it were just a little more chaotic thought but i Imagine it would be more like that as the level progressed. Either way great game!

turegrappa 2020-10-05 21:03

Good job. Great game :smiley:

oceanm 2020-10-05 21:06

The aesthetic for this game is honestly amazing. I can tell lots of effort was put into the game feel.

neragoth 2020-10-05 21:07

Beautiful and eye-catching design. One is immediately hypnotized by the train in the loop. Very good work, congratulations!

comari 2020-10-05 21:08

Great game, this was pretty fun to play. Thanks for the submission.

citdev-chris 2020-10-05 21:08

Friendly starting levels, reliable mechanics. Art is very polished. Well done thematic audio. Great feeling game here. I especially enjoy goosing it through intersections just in time.

Well done!

bentebent 2020-10-05 21:08

The style is fantastic and it feels pretty crisp to play as well since the train is so responsive to the controls, well done!

michaelha 2020-10-05 21:09

Wow! Incredible job! This is a really really polished entry. My favorite submission so far!

darthone 2020-10-05 21:10

The graphics, artwork and animation are fantastic. I felt the level design and difficulty curve was lacking. Super cute plants!

apos 2020-10-05 21:11

That was pretty neat! The music was really catchy, especially on restarts, so I kept losing on purpose.

anant-ahuja 2020-10-05 21:12

Really polished game and fun too. I easily spent half an hour playing it. Loved the cutesy graphics. The music was ace too. Pretty good on all fronts. And definitely didn't expect that collision between the train and the cars.

slimmerburger 2020-10-05 21:13

I love all of the artwork, it looks really professional :)

blue05 2020-10-05 21:21

This game was very fun to play. It's nice and simple and is very polished!

zombiebust3r 2020-10-05 21:28

Loved the style and how you played with the theme! The music and the game come together very well, it's one of those games you could sit playing for hours like PolyBridge or Train Valley.

gogani 2020-10-05 22:09

I love the music and sound design!

pakasfand 2020-10-05 22:12

Solid entry. Great level design with a vibrant colorful theme.

cax 2020-10-05 22:42

Wow the game look sooooo polished like it's ready to publication into market)

porcus-pie 2020-10-06 00:21

This game is addictive! It's so simple but really fun, and the graphics are so bright and playful without getting messy. The music as well was really nice, it wasn't too in my face and I felt it fit the theme and style of the game perfectly. The game controlled really great too, it was a nice balance of speed and it felt really easy to play, whilst still having some difficulty. The acceleration was just enough that I had to think ahead, without it feeling unfair. My only very minor gripe was I would have liked some indication that I was changing speed utside of just some small text in the corner, whether that's audio, a particle effect or just a more obvious visual cue, but that issue was so small it didn't affect my experience at all. I had a lot of fun, and would love to see this put out into the world. Well done!!

jenny-bourke 2020-10-06 02:30

Oh I just love the art so much. This game is so cute and so extremely fun!! I especially loved the sloths peeking out of trees

sirred 2020-10-06 03:10

Game is cute and very smooth. Only complaint is that I feel like the levels are a bit to long.

change 2020-10-06 04:27

Simple and fun!Nice graphics.Very polished,you can pulish it on mobile platform.

tamas-turi 2020-10-06 10:58

This game is simple and really fun to play. I loved the art and the music too :)

kregames 2020-10-06 11:16

Easy mechanics with fine graphics, and smooth music. Great entry, nice work! It could be a cool mobile game!

nema 2020-10-06 13:20

So sweet and fun! Impressing how polished the game is in such a short time. Really nice job! :)

ryzy27 2020-10-06 14:19

Wow. Great game. One simple mechanic polished very well.

Did you try speeding up the game? Levels take a bit long to finish, but I think it might be too hard if you make the cars go faster.

Art looks great. Always love some vector graphics :) I could swear I saw faces in some of the levels. And the song... Fits so well.

Btw. Why do you apply gravity after hitting car?

Cheers!

lucien-catonnet 2020-10-06 15:17

This game has really good graphics and a very neat thematic music. I really like the idea! I have to say though the difficulty is way too high, dodging cars is one thing, but having to do it 50 times is really just exhausting, especially as it doesn't really change all the while. Decreasing the number of cars for a level could help, but maybe a more forgiving gameplay could be nice too, allowing you to hit cars once or twice before you lose for instance.

Very nice entry anyway, the sloths are very cute <3

kate90 2020-10-06 15:40

It isnt that easy at it looks like :) Nicely fitting in jam's topic, it creates risk of addict to play it! Well done

tauheed-game-dev 2020-10-06 17:40

Really nice art and good concept for the theme. It felt easy at first but I took my eyes off the train for a second and I crashed.

gamepopper 2020-10-06 18:12

Nice game with a clean art style, bonus points for including train noises into the music!

kazu 2020-10-06 18:54

A simple mechanic but very efficient ! I love graphics and character design

ondy1985 2020-10-06 18:54

This game is a gem :-) Really fun to play, well done!

helicule 2020-10-06 18:58

This is such a cute and well-designed game! Congrats :D

harusame 2020-10-06 19:03

Great game, very polished with nice graphics and music. Simple but effective gameplay and it's not that simple. The levels are a bit too long (too many cars)

blacklambert 2020-10-06 19:09

Beautiful game! And it has a gameplay that is hard to master. Just a tiny suggestion: Add some points for beeing faster or add a minimum amount of loops to perform. This would spice it up a bit. But after all, awesome work!

invader 2020-10-06 19:15

Amazing game! It has a simple, but very catchy mechanic, that makes you try more and more after each fail :) Kudos for the graphics. Cool characters and consistent style.

P.S. We've discussed a looping train idea with our team, but eventually decided to skip it, since don't have an artist this time :)

mrsilverhelmet 2020-10-06 19:17

Nice game! I like the idea a lot, and it's very well polished! Feels like a complete game. The art style is sweet. Well done!

namnam 2020-10-06 19:22

The game is beautiful and the music fit the art. But guys, 15 cars is a lot for the first level :D ad having to redo it from the beginning each time we make one tiny mistake can be frustrating. Still, congrats for the entry :)

jannikstaub 2020-10-06 19:25

Hello Partners in the Train Business :D Nice game, very good graphics and you took the time to add audio! feels very smooth. But a bit repetative especially when you die at the end of a level and need to restart over.

shubi-oni 2020-10-06 19:29

I have loved it, the art and music are amazing. I would love to see it for mobile!!

zero-ichi 2020-10-06 20:24

Cutest game ever ! I realy like the mood !

fluffygamedev 2020-10-06 20:50

Good job! The game is absolutely beautiful! It's hard to stay concentrated for the whole level, but that's what brings the tension and the fun!

barelyevengames 2020-10-06 23:22

Very cute, deceptively hard! Great job!

fachscahfttf 2020-10-07 00:59

This game is so polished. Especially the art style looks like something you'd find in a big title.

fpoli 2020-10-07 02:31

Very polished game and the art is very cute! What a dangerous town to live where the train crosses streets without any barrier haha!

rustywolf 2020-10-07 05:00

Super solid entry. Feels like something I'd expect to have taken weeks, not days. Super good job

jon-nova 2020-10-07 10:33

Very Nice and challeging game! Very well polished too. Nice Job!

tamail 2020-10-07 10:39

This is such a fun idea - and surprisingly hard to win! I loved the art and everything, it feels so polished. Great job!

dodidouda 2020-10-07 10:45

Prettiest game I've seen so far! Very simple yet cool concept. I love everything about it :D

bereg 2020-10-07 11:22

The game is cute, and the artwork is a masterpiece. I like every bit of it - from individual sprites to the in-between screens. The only complaint is music, it's a bit repetitive, so it would be great to have an option to turn it off. Other than that, it's a great and innovative game. I had a lot of fun playing it.

jaoel 2020-10-07 16:35

Very addicting, and a bit challenging too. I would have loved to have an emergency brake though, I caused way too many accidents :P

I love the art style! Good job!

helekopeter 2020-10-07 18:31

Feels very polished for a jam game. Good job!

tad 2020-10-07 18:32

This is so polished, I'm surprised it's a game jam game. It's a really clever game mechanic and is a lot of fun to play. Really well done here - I'm super-impressed! :D

faelim 2020-10-07 20:00

Really cool game; the graphics and audio are top-notch, and the game itself plays very well!

seth-tal 2020-10-08 04:25

I think in levels where cars appear so closely off screen, an earlier indication of when they will appear would help immensely when getting used to the flow of the game. Other than that small criticism I really enjoyed the game. The graphics are very nicely polished. I think overall you guys did a great job!

james-joubert 2020-10-08 08:53

A very lovely little game. The controls are simple. The art is consistent and well done. It feels nicely polished!

Overall, very well done. :smile:

oddsocks 2020-10-08 09:34

What a fantastic game. Absolutely love the colourful artwork. It has really smooth game play. The controls description was really nice. Everything about it was great. Plus the theme was spot on.

I would say this is the most polished game I've played for LD47 so far. Huge congrats :raised_hands:

tricky-fat-cat 2020-10-08 13:40

Simple, but very fun game with stylish graphics and sounds. Nice work.

thekingbarry 2020-10-08 14:45

The concept is easy to catch and you have a very good time playing it. Audio and graphics are perfect and you really get stuck in those loops, fearing that a car will pop up unexpectedly ! Great entry ! Congrats !

doot 2020-10-08 16:40

I loved it!

The art, animations, and smoothness of gameplay are on point. I loved the sound as well. The goal is clear, everything is very understandable, and the feeling of progression is nice. I really liked the idea of the train's speed dropping when you don't push a button, forcing you to always be active and not just look for the perfect speed and position and do nothing until the end.

I didn't like the right entry of the first level. It felt to random and I just rushed through it hoping nothing would come. I think it is placed to close to the track. The 2nd and 3rd levels are awesome, but the number of cars needed to win is a bit too much for me.

Thanks a lot for the game I had fun 💕

rosypenguin 2020-10-08 17:26

Love how clean and polished the art is, and the train sounds integrated into the music is delightful. Nice work!

shootingstaa 2020-10-09 05:04

Awesome! I rated all 5 stars. System, graphic, and music all perfect.

quackqack 2020-10-09 07:43

Incredibly polished, well scoped and well executed. good job!

chrs 2020-10-09 07:49

Really liked this, the art is fantastic. very polished game.

apandso 2020-10-09 18:32

Professionally made: great art, music and gameplay! Awesome job!

j0ye 2020-10-09 19:54

Wow, this music. It hyped me up soo much, hearing that horn. The graphics are very pleasant. Best I have seen so far. And the gameplay is not only fitting for the theme, but also fun and innovative.

garys 2020-10-09 22:01

Nice idea, beautiful artwork, perfectly executed... Well done!

sophiemae0 2020-10-10 01:45

What a clever use of the theme! This was relaxing to play, the controls reminded me exactly on the controls of my car which was really relaxing to play. I think the ramp up on levels is on point and everything with the graphics and audio is phenomenal. Great game :)

strega 2020-10-10 06:32

Super cute game! Artwork is really nice, the music and sounds work really well, and the level designs are well done. One small suggestion would be to have more feedback for speeding up and slowing down such as acceleration lines and breaking sparks to really up the juiciness on the controls.

cubiclaw 2020-10-11 11:26

This game is just too high quality, how is this allowed? :scream_cat:

Everything is polished to the max - the art style, the logo, win/loss/credits screens, train horn music, fluid gameplay, little sloth hiding behind a tree... Just wow!

redunca 2020-10-12 08:07

Somehow don't feel like a ldjam game, too polished, graphics are amazing, audio is good, i really like how speed variations is handled... Great game !

alekm 2020-10-14 03:32

Really great game and great mood. Loved the sound track and the game is simple but challenging.

gaming-night 2020-10-19 20:55

Great game, i wish I can see more on the right :) Very nice audio also !

nice job

voidfishing 2020-10-19 21:31

I love the concept, it seems like such a simple mechanic but was really fun to play (even if I'm terrible at judging distances ;_;)! The art and UI is SO polished and I love the tiny sloth peeking out of the tree :) congrats!!

waynetron 2020-10-20 11:16

The visual design is absolutely gorgeous. Even the logo is great.

I got bored before each level ended, but I kept going to see what each level would look like. Would love to see how it plays with a higher top speed. Maybe even 5x what it is now. And when it approaches the top speed it should shake and rumble and throws sparks as it turns corners. That would be thrilling. Then make the brakes better to balance it out. Finally I would tied the win condition to a set number of laps rather than number of cars. To encourage people to go faster and take risks. Encouraging them to play the game in a way that is more fun. Just my 2c.

nsadie 2020-10-21 11:02

Super polished, great graphics, music and gameplay and a really good concept!

karenfarah 2020-10-21 20:21

Beautiful art and the audio fit so nicely! Fun and cute game!

tweedle 2020-10-22 07:40

knocked it outta the park, great job all around - bonus points for sloths

jesus-gonzalez 2020-10-24 22:10

Super polished.

I specially loved the weird music style. Is there any place where I can hear more from you?

jpiolho 2020-10-28 11:32

@jesus-gonzalez Thanks for the comment :) We're working further on the game. You can keep an eye at https://twitter.com/ShyPixelGames and https://shypixelgames.itch.io/
