I love the music :) very chill.

OH.This is gorgeous. Love the art and the music. Reminds me of Townscaper but with a more nostalgic touch. I'd love to see this expanded on after the competition!

Cute art and nice chill music. Now just need to add some more gameplay/mechanics :D

Music is cool but was so low volume, i wouldn't have notice it without others comment.

i started by doing the natural thing and assuming the ice zone and desert zone would want to visit eachother, so i connected them up; i then made a looping track full of trains to force the ice/desert train to wait for the 1 train wide window to open and pass through.

I felt pretty pleased with myself and assumed my work was done, but then i noticed that there are only 2 isolated purple cubes in the whole world! It was a cruel visage, did they even know eachother exist? - I have been given purpose.

i assume purple 2 to be the primary vacation spot for the hard working people of purple 1; the bright sand and warm climate must be quite the experience for the people used to the ice cold western side of the world.

i had some silly fun, isometric sugar-cubey games like this make me feel a certain way, i'm curious if you had further plans for what this would play like?

@mr-field That's an awesome addition you made to the world Mr_Field! I thought about this a bit and if I were to push this little demo further I would like to play around with the terrain, allow the trains to essentially mine the "color" of blocks and spread the contents to other areas.

@davidyoung that's a pretty unique concept for a transport game (i think), i think it'd make for a pretty cool twist.

wish you luck with this/future games

@Mr-Field is that an edit? I didn't found in the game lol

mr-field 2023-05-04 22:48

@josemwarrior yea, sorry for the confusion ;P

i kinda hope some other people feel up to adding their own little edits of spots they like

Cute art. I wish there was more "game" here though.
