Super relaxing game. The music is great for chilling

Nice ! Had a bunch of fun playing it. Like the idea of letting trains fall to build stuff, quite funny. Good job !

Very fun and addictive game. Graphics are simple but they fit and controls are self-explanatory. Overall fun game.

Wow!! One of the most creative approaches to the theme!

I love progression and the concept of needing to fail to progress!

I would definitely play a full version, with different materials, trains, and tracks!

Congrats!

Really chill until its suddenly the last train and you have to protect it as fast as you build. A really nice balance between building material gaining and getting trains through. The physics work really well. My only issue was it's unclear when two struts or supports should join, leading to me placing foundations that don't connect. Otherwise, a really fun game!

I think there is a lot of effort put in. Can't imagine handling this idea in such a short time. Great realisation of an idea - it's very catchy, casual style of a game. Would love to see the game getting bigger, have a good luck with this project or any other games, thank you for the submission!

Very fun, it captured my attention.

Like the concept of letting some die to get resources. However I think there was some bug ? I was on I think 3rd or fourth map (the one where you have to move using right click, which is btw not instinctive to use) And I could not go more right but none of my train managed to then ? Apart from that, it was very good :D

I really liked how well the game explained itself. You start with no resources and see a train coming, desperate to build a path, but can't. Then realize that's exactly what was meant to happen for you to get resources in the first place. Super innovative! Sadly I couldn't really figure out how to properly use the sideways beams, but managed to beat a couple levels anyway!

funny, I was surprised why my trains stopped at the right-most side, then i realized that i had to zoom out a little to see some more space... maybe it would also work without the zoom-functionality :D

Super fun game!

The concept is amazing and it's a great puzzle game.

Very impressive building and physics system! Graphics are also very nice and clean

@goat Thanks for Playing our game and for your feedback! I am sorry that it was not clear when supports can join. Can you explain how you tried to connect the pillars?

falzock 2022-04-05 15:53

@kimberly Thanks for Playing our game and for your feedback! We tried different ways to move, and the mouse was for us the most intuitive. How can we make it more instinctive for you? With WASD as a second option?

falzock 2022-04-05 15:56

@yello Thanks for Playing our game and for your feedback! You can not only zoom but although move the camara with the mouse and the right mouse button. I hope you hat fun playing even if we mist to make the movement clear in the game.

This is a nice take on the theme. Hectic gameplay but chill audio for balance! Nice visuals, especially those chunky steam clouds emanating from the engine.

This is pure classic flash game energy. I love it!

Also a great portrayal of deteriorating railway infrastructure. xD

Pretty nice game, looks similar to the bridge constructor serie That was probably not easy to recreate that sort of concept in such a limited amount of time

The idea of having the crashing trains giving you more resources is interesting and prevent being locked on a level Sadly sometimes you just have to wait for multiple trains to crash before you have enough resources to build anything, and it kind of break the flow of the game imo

Hello there, strong bridge constructor vibe. Graphics are really clean. It's really stressful to construct the bridge as it is being used. Good job to the team!

(And @falzock, we'll meet again for the next LD, I hope :stuck_out_tongue:)

emaigualmc2-art 2022-04-07 16:23

It's a lot of fun, in general it's very good, well done! xD

Interesting take on a 'bridge builder' game. I found the need to click the "slow down" button to be more annoying than fun (especially on a trackpad), but gathering resources by crashing some of the trains is a cool tradeoff mechanic. The music, while nice, got very repetitive very quickly. Cool visuals though, and I certainly appreciate the settings menu, where volume is low by default!
