You know a game is going to be good when you see the words "round house kicking skeletons". Great game!

henrik-ganard 2020-10-05 07:20

Great game. I had alot of fun with this. Played until the screen was full of wagons, skeletons, bullets and graves. Great job.

zwodahs 2020-10-05 07:26

Nice game ! I had so much passengers that the game starts to lag.

If there is an end goal that would be nice, like a score or a place to drop the passenger.

Fun game. It's really satisfying to mow down hordes of skeletons.

evogengames 2020-10-05 08:09

I cannot start the game up on itch, I get the error: "Cannot read property 'GetParameter' of undefinded. Hope you can fix this, I'll check back later cause I want to play this :smile:

I already had a comment though: Who picked these controls? xD

rost 2020-10-05 08:21

@evogengames I just checked and it works, could you check in Chrome or Firefox? I think it has something to do with GLES3

evogengames 2020-10-05 08:28

In chrome I get the error message above, in firefox the loading is much quicker but I get: GLctx is undefined.

rost 2020-10-05 08:45

@evogengames I'll check it later today.

evogengames 2020-10-05 08:51

Hi Rost, Is it made with Godot? I just noticed I'm having issues with other Godot games as well, so it might just be on my end. I'll check later on another pc!

Kind regards!

rost 2020-10-05 09:36

@evogengames Yes, it's made with Godot. Maybe you have a adblocker installed or something.

Pretty fun with some cute graphics, though it get's a bit laggy after a while

I had way too much fun this. Satisfying gameplay loop (pun not intended, I swear). The pixel art is also quite charming. Great job all around. As @zwodahs suggested, some sort of HUD element with a score or a tracker of some sort could be a great finishing touch on this. Or maybe some sort of time indicator how long passengers will wait.

Big fan of the train, and shooting is very satisfying the more cars you get, although It felt like the difficulty increased a tiny bit quick. Still Great!

lunarstrain 2020-10-06 09:41

I like the idea of the train loop and the unexpected setting! Neat graphics, the gameplay is fun, but it feels that spawn rate should be decreased, at least at the start of the game, because I want to ride the whole loop before I get kiiled. Also, I feel the need of some upgrades for the gun to clear waves faster. I like your game and I wish you luck C:

I like the graphics style. Funny game. My game started lagging hard after about 8 passengers picked up while continuously holding down space button.

sinusquell 2020-10-06 16:18

I had a ton of fun playing this! Great entry. Although I did notice that the game got quite slow towards the end.

macmist 2020-10-06 16:19

Nice one! Love the ideam really fits the theme! The graphics are cool and the music is quite good for the western setting! Easy to play and really fun!

jatdev 2020-10-06 16:28

Being stuck in a loop isn't so bad if you can shoot down hordes of skeletons!

The art is cute and instantly recognizable. The sound is nice but starts being weird after picking up a few passengers.

The gameplay is fun as it is, adding a score - like other commenters already said - would have been a nice addition. Good job!

danyvk 2020-10-06 17:51

nice game, which engine?

elbbard 2020-10-06 18:55

It was fun playing this game. Spamming the enter key to shoot tons bullets. Good job, thanks

stlunatick 2020-10-06 19:01

@danyvk Thank you, It's made in Godot.

error-ff 2020-10-06 19:20

thats just perfect. my personal №1. even if my pc burns!

baran 2020-10-06 21:09

Very enjoayble experience, Well done! I loved that spray paint shaking-ish sound, just to note, in my machine frame rate really drops on higher vagons while spamming bullets.

codertrevor 2020-10-07 03:02

I just wish there was a score so I could know how many skeletons I killed. I also got so many skeletons chasing me and bullets on the screen that the game started to lag and the sound started glitching out, but I won't hold that against you.

Easily the best game with round house kicking skeletons I've ever played! Fun and addictive. I liked the risk/reward management involved in picking up passengers versus getting near skeletons, and the fact that the passengers give you more guns and health really makes picking them up fun.

Good job!

eugenik 2020-10-07 03:56

I really like the game art, is stunning!

dharby 2020-10-07 04:12

Great art style! You handled the pixel art really well. Nice work.

purpledartfrog 2020-10-07 11:10

Wow - this was a nice mix-up of different concepts - really liked the idea - and the pixel art is also on point for this kind of thing... Big congrats on the entry :smile:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

andreas-roschal 2020-10-08 21:33

Once you get 10+ train carts, this game's genre changes to Bullet Hell... for the enemies. Awesome game. Very satisfying and fun to play!

rongo-matane 2020-10-09 09:14

Haha, it was really cool getting very powerful - with 10 wagons i just blasted all skeletons. They never had a chance! Very fun!

honey 2020-10-09 12:20

In the html5 version, it gets pretty laggy when you have lots of cars and therefore lots of bullets in game, I guess some pooling and GC issue, but that might be the limitation of html5 platform, dunno :)

Also why mouse to aim, space to shoot? Why not LMB? Maybe even RMB to pick up passengers, scroll wheel to increase and decrease the speed? It could've been all mouse controls, but keyboard is okay except for space to shoot, that doesn't make sense to me :)

Still I had fun, even with the minimalist artstyle and sfx it felt suprisingly good to shoot the enemies, their popping/clicking sound felt so good! I couldn't see much of a challenge or change in a gameplay, but still spent good amount of time just riding around and shooting those skeletons! And the graphics, though minimalist, is very good, the cloud shadows are an awesome touch! Very good work!

marrs 2020-10-10 08:04

Just to write a few words in your native language "geweldig spel!". It's easy to pick up and hard to master. I too had some slowdown at a later point in the game, not sure what can be done about that, it's probably just the sheer number of "enemies". All in all, you delivered a well rounded and finished game. Congrats!

mandarad 2020-10-11 15:44

I liked the aesthetic and overall feel (though the game over screen was a little jarring). I liked the audio, especially when you take down an enemy. I think that maybe it starts of a little too strong with the amount of enemies, though. But overall, nice job!

aterlamia 2020-10-15 22:13

so many bullets.... fun game and a fun take on the theme.

matootsy 2020-10-20 16:10

The old school pixelart is pleasant. I like the idea. And the fact that the train is bigger when we take a new passenger (like a snake game) and that we can manage the speed. But what a mess with this amount of ennemies! Too messy for me, I don't find fun in this. Anyway, I see that some players like it. It's just a matter of taste. With some polish, it could be a nice game for the fans of the genre.

baiketsu 2020-10-25 15:37

Good job! I liked to play it. The theme is respected. Once 10 cars atteigned, the squeleton are no longer a problem. Nice !
