Good looking game, well done with the illustrations. Did not manage to get past the cat, but cool concept. Great job, and a nice entry.

Interesting take on the theme and very unique at that. I did run into a few smaller issues and one bigger one.

Bigger issue was a crash. Report attached. Played on Itch.io

I could not control the side scrolling. I'd just fall over. I wanted to train the side scrolling but on my second playthrough I just had the top down view for like 15 - 20 cars in a row.

Good sound effects and nice graphics. Unique take. Good entry!

Interesting runner concept. I was a little bit confused the first time my character started to lean left but managed to survive somehow :smirk:

hotpaw 2023-10-04 08:00

@mrmaico i will try and upload a bugfix.

ditam 2023-10-04 14:15

Haha, unexpected QWOP! It is very hard to step over that cat, I had to concede there. Very fun concept though!

If I can have one complaint: if the train takes a sharp right turn, things onboard should slide to the left, not the right, and vice versa :-p

taldius 2023-10-04 14:25

Simple concept but it work well. Actually our team had a similar idea at the beginning. Great job!

zhg-zzz 2023-10-04 16:04

I like the art of the game, and the game is interesting. But I need to practice more in the slide mode.

n-feofentov 2023-10-04 17:24

Nice game! Graphics is great and the whole setting looks interesting. I was a bit frustrated by turns, cause when it's said "Sharp Tunr Left" I am expecting that I'll be pushed in opposite direction i.e. to the right. Good luck!

loved playing it. liked the game concept. With just a few clean up touches and addition of few animations and stages, this game has a potential in the mobile game market. Keep up the good work.

Nice game! Loved the graphics, especially when it came to the side view. The monsters and the train kind of reminded me a bit of Spirited Away, which I thought was a cool idea for the theme/mood of the game. Also found the mechanics for the side view pretty neat. I made the mistake of not checking the game instructions and for a while thought the side view was just a game over screen or something, but once I figured out what was actually happening I did pretty ok. Overall very nice game, well done!

hotpaw 2023-10-08 17:54

@eoshadows it was totally inspired by spirited away! Nice that you noticed

ruddgasm 2023-10-08 19:22

Cute game, I really liked all of the weird characters and the sounds that they were making. I managed to figure out how to step over the cat and briefcase most of the time but I never saw the end, assuming there is one. If there is an end state that you want players to see, I would suggest making it a bit more forgiving (especially for a jam) and make it to where you don't start over at the beginning with one mistake. Overall I liked the art and atmosphere.
