On a side note: Downloading the exe file directly from this page doesn't seem to work for me. The new tab closes itself immediately without starting a download. No idea what's wrong here (Win10/Chrome). You might wanna look into that.

Other than that: Hey fellow Hyperloop game :) I kinda like the survival approach to the frogger idea. The core game play loop runs dry rather quickly though and it might be difficult to keep the player invested long enough to try to actually reach help over the phone (does it actually works?) I had some problems with the food drops. In my first run, there wasn't any at all. I guess it's randomized? My second run hat a lot of food. The art is basic but I really like the way the trains pass by. You can really feel the energy of those things. The music is pumping as well, good work!

I think the game in it's current state would improve from an actual game progression. Maybe a map where you have to get from point a to point b while having to cross the dangerous train tunnels, while also having to deal with the survival meters (maybe having to track back to get some more oxygen or fetch a food drop). Having the telephone right there at the start kinda destroy the pacing for me. But that's a minor issue!

All in all, not too shabby, has potential :) A little more style than substance, but that's alright in my book!

Hi, I'd like to try your game, but as you know the windows download link doesn't work. Comment me if there is any change about that.

@ovid I'm only 17 month late ! What is happening with the windows download link ? I never encountered the problem, but I'm not on Windows, so I don't really know :/ My only guess is that Windows is actively trying to prevent your from downloading a "random" exe file from the Internet.
