Awesome! another 2D in 3D Game like ours! Managing a train like that was a lot of fun and using cards at the stations what a nice touch. Overall Art looked amazing and I just wish I could keep up with the timer so I could get farther! but I'm improving!

Suchhhhh a great game. My favourite one so far. Simple but nice and addictive. The only thing I would say is that the difficulty is augmenting really fast (or maybe I made it hard by chosen too much trains). And that janitor is lazy AF! Really Nice Game. The graphics are so nice for real, particulary the map behind the trains. Great job!

Love the concept! The art is fantastic as well.

Wow, not the game for me, admittedly - as someone who hasn't memorized the keys when not typing words. It was a bit of a shame that the numpad keys didn't really work, but I can see this being quite fun and challenging for someone more well-versed with the keys on their keyboard. LOVED the overall art style and the music was lovely. I think the tasks popped up every 10 seconds? Not sure on that...but it does feel like the theme isn't really the focus of the game.

My shortcomings have nothing to do with the game so I will still say that I can see this as being fun for someone else.

I did want to say: I pressed escape at one point, wanting to quit, and the menu popped up BUT clicking on the "quit" didn't really do anything. Maybe a bug?

Love the art style, almost feels like playing a kid's book!

Very cool game, I messed up and picked too many jobs at first and ended up burning a few train carts lol. I think the graphics are really cool though, I like that its 2d and 3d at the same time where the art style pops out at you which is neat. I also like the idea of having different jobs that you can pick from so you can alter the difficulty to what you feel like. Nice job!

Lovely graphics Amazing graphics Best graphics

Oh did I mention I really LOVE your graphics? On top of that, I've to say I really adore these graphics. Oh and then, the graphics, top-notch!

Anyway, I've grown addicted to typing games like these, and this game is feeding it perfectly fine. Nothing but praise for y'all, great job!

Great job on the art style and overall polish! I also love the music 👍

feels and looks like a great game

This was a fun game that really kept me on my toes. I like the premise, the implementation kept me on my toes, the gameplay really asks a lot of you in those later levels with many cars. You've done a great job with this, it kept me coming back for more

Really well polished game, especially the art/audio/animations!

10/10 game absolutely amazing gameplay, art, and music. I was hooked got 59 stars :)

wheffle 2022-10-06 02:49

First of all I want to say that this game looks and feels amazing! The style, art, music, everything comes off as extremely polished and professional. Sensational job on that. I did have a few minor gripes about the gameplay.

I wish there was an easier way to swap between cars, as using the number keys took my hand off home position and made it awkward to quickly type for the tasks. I also think there was a bit of an awareness problem, I found myself confused sometimes where new tasks were appearing (I think they lit up at the top of the screen briefly, but I would miss it?) I'm not sure what the best solution would be, maybe having the enter key just loop through the cars or let you type for tasks while zoomed out? Maybe this is all just because my ADHD has been really bad lately and I'm just bonkers.

I liked the balancing act of choosing more difficult cars for more stars, and being able to hire workers to fill certain jobs. And honestly, I *do* love me some typing game. I haven't played one yet this LD, so I was very happy to find you guys had made one! Again, I can't stress enough how damn good this game looks and feels. If I bought a game off the shelf and was greeted with this, I wouldn't have batted an eye. Wonderful job, well done!

Hey! I edited together a YouTube video from when I played your game on stream, in case you're interested. Thanks again for talking to us about it! https://youtu.be/_ypAI4tkaho

einfachnuralex 2022-10-06 14:33

fantastcic art! I really like that background. The first time I was starting the game I had a sound bug. The music played twice after I died and started the next game. But after a restart I could not recreate the bug. Just letting you know about it. Good job on your game!

etrealjunior 2022-10-06 15:06

Congratulations, I loved your game, what an elegant work, really fantastic, I'm always surprised how talented people manage to do more complex programming and arts with great quality in such a short space of time, thank you for the honor of knowing and playing your game, a big hug to all.

[Y'all really outdid yourselves with this one!](https://youtu.be/04UQz6th9Ko?t=1265)

Loved the art and the music, as usual. :thumbsup: The gameplay was also just the right amount of chaotic and hilarious. It was a liiiiiiiiiiiiittle difficult for me to remember which cars matched with which numbers on my keyboard, but that could totally just be a me issue. :stuck_out_tongue:

Got a nice score :)

An exceptional entry with fantastic production values and a soaking of sodden station names. No notes, fantastic execution of what you set out to make.

Very cool and stressfulScreenshot_4.png!

Hey guys! Excellent game! I'm so impressed with what you accomplished in the time and look forward to seeing this become a full-fledge game. I played this game on stream. Rhoka managed to stop in while I was playing it, but if the other team members would like to see, or if Rhoka wants to watch it from the beginning of my playthrough, here is the link to the vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1623452036?t=1h49m15s

Probably my favorite game of the jam so far :smiley: A nice, cohesive (and most importantly FUN) package were everything just fits together. What joy :smiley:

Really fun game! It a nice change from other typing style games and the card system when you reach a new station brings some refreshing strategy and moments of rest to this hectic game xD The gameplay, visuals, and sound design is all on point! My only suggestions I could think is allowing you to see who is assigned in the carts already when you are picking new cards, maybe being able to rearrange the carts, and maybe labeling the carts when you are picking card. I think maybe saying the keys you need to press on the cards could help decide too
