Reminds me of mini motorways. I like how the track's direction changes depending on its neighbouring tracks.

Cute game, very neat music and atmosphere. Had a bit of trouble at the start due to not seeing the play button haha, it was out of the view bounds for me in the browser. Besides that dragging is a bit hard at times, but only at times~ awesome work!
Nice game, nice idea. A little hard to start with how big the screen was (gotta love game jam export issues). I also didn't see the play button.
A nice little game! Feels like the first level of what could be a larger, fuller experience, but if there was a way to "win", I might have been too train-illiterate to do it. I got the trains to go to their right stations, but none would go in or acknowledge having 'arrived'. I also had trains occasionally clip into trees while turning :( Still, a fun little puzzler that felt like it also might be a graph theory question in a text book!
Neat rail puzzle game. It's a little hard to control but I got used to it. I like the cozy vibe of the game. Good job.
I'm not sure if I got what I'm supposed to do. Every time I thought I was able to connect the tracks the trains just stood there and nothing happened. Also, I think there is a bug with the rail count. Sometimes I reset the track and am left with -1 or -2 tracks.
i love making a track, but the control too sensitive and little hard to control
Fun idea! Enjoyed that I had as many tries and as much time as I wanted to set stuff up!
Cool game. I got all trains to the right locations but nothing happened, not sure why.. The track laying felt very fun. Only if you move the mouse to fast it stops the drag, that is a little annoying.
Good job!
Idea not new, but always like such games. I didn't catch why trains won't to be loaded and go back, but was fun to build rails. :)
I really loved the visuals and the music! Maybe there is an option to do this that I missed, but it was a little annoying having to restart if I messed up since you can't delete individual rails. Other than that though it was really good!
Those are some cute ingredients. The first time I tried it, the trains were somehow crashing into each other at the station...? Took a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, but the first time I tried to do it, it didn't work.
Really like the way the tracks are laid out. Had a hard time with the first couple of tries, but got through it eventually. The music was an excellent fit. Very nice overall!
The music in this game is something else! I think it'd be a lot smoother to play if you could delete individual tracks instead of having to toss your rails wholesale.
I liked the audio. But control feeled a little to janky. Coud not roperly draw rais as i wanted, it kept placing them somwere else.
I like the concept, but it's sometimes hard to tell what I've done wrong when things fail. Like the blue truck below.

Loved the mechanics! It was a bit confusing to know where the tracks should go or how to deselect the current track. Controls seemed a bit clunky but overall, great work!
Hi @zyrconium, looking at the image you posted I believe you have completed a round with a victory and started a new round. There was a bug we fixed last minute where if two train were going to the same station it would cause a lose and victory scenario putting the game in a weird state. As a fix we removed the colliders when a train reaches the correct station. Unfortunately this doesn't allow the players to keep playing after. The player has to refresh the browser to restart the game. Sorry about that, but thanks for trying our game.
Sehr cool XD :)
I did not understand how to solve the first puzzle :(
Really nice music and graphics! I like the puzzle game with delivery concept. I didn't see any like this so far so very unique. The rail drawing was a bit buggy but it must have been hard to get this good even, so good job. :D Pretty decent game overall, good job!
Oh i love trains! cool game! nice visual picture, nice sounds! go on!
Cute game! I love the music and the overall vibe. I couldn't quite figure out how to solve the first puzzle, so maybe a simpler example would be nice to start with. The spaghetti ingredients look cute too!
Not sure what I was doing or how to know if I was doing well, but the feel and idea of the game is nice
Once I understood the concept (sort of Mini metro, but different) - I solved the first puzzle. It didn't load the second one (sadly).
The concept is good, the design and mood are also nice.
It could use a short in-game tutorial (instructions are there though, they're clear - but I might be a bit slower at 2am when I'm playing this) - but then again some people will complain about that one (you can never make everyone happy).
Rail construction could be a bit improved, but is good enough as is now for a jam game (a bit more feedback to the user - where he is constructing it, or approving last construction (or undo)).
I've enjoyed it, a bit sad that it couldn't load the 2nd map (if there is any).
Good job!
Interesting game. Loved the music! Well done!
I enjoyed it, it's a very cute game! I would have liked an "undo" feature when placing tracks, but I totally understand that it wasn't a priority. Something I think would have also helped is coloring the tracks by which station they're coming from! I know I got confused at times where I was sending what :D Great job!
I am sorry, but I could not get past the controls on the first level. When I understood how to put railways down, it always did not work how I intended. I could not revert the last action, only the whole level, and after several attempts I dropped the game. Nice graphics though.
Cool puzzle concept. I found the track drawing a little frustrating but I got there eventually. I wish you could backtrack a route a little instead of a full clear. Nice work.
The first time I played it the train didn't appear, turned off and on and it was fine.
Interesting game, I had some trouble with it because I kept making little mistakes and couldn't figure out how to undo tracks, but after a while I finally got it and it worked. The concept is really good, fits the theme of delivery, and is kinda like mini motorways but you have trains and no motorways. The art is simple but it's good, gives a nice simple style to the game. And the music and sound effects were nice, hearing a nice choo choo when I pressed play was fun, and the music was cheery and nice. The biggest criticism I have is polish for the controls of the game, that was a lot of frustration for me.
Overall great game, especially for 3 days. Good art, music, and great concept. Just needs some more polish on the controls and it would be all good :)
The game was confusing at first, then the more I played it it seemed to get a bit better. The music, sound effects and graphics were excellent
I'm a little lost here. Is there only one level and it just resets when you click next? Sometimes the input would just stop working, and trains going into the same station crash into each other at the station. This seems like it could be an interesting puzzle game if you work out the bugs.
The game is still a little bit too buggy, but it seems to be because of the "reset" (if I refresh the game, it work well the first time). But I like the country music, the idea and seing the train just going by themself is a good feeling!
I liked the mechanic and building tracks. Although I don't know if I did correctly or not because nothing happened after the trains drove to their destinations.. It kind of felt like a cool demo, so I hope you'll complete it in the future!
I absolutely love the track building idea! Has a very relaxing feel to it!! I kinda got stuck a lot though haha because I couldn't really figure out how to make tracks merge/diverge. Also took me a while to figure out which were the actual destinations. Apart from that I'd say it's a really cool game!! Great job!!
Nice atmosphere! I love the concept - I had some issues as others have mentioned. But the gist of the game is great! Would definitely play it if it was developed further.
