Simple idea but very functional! The VA is very funny too, nice jam!
Really simple, but fun. Of course, sometimes a worker appears RIGHT in front of trolley, but game is still really beatable
xDDDDD Fantastic, I enjoyed playing it. Also audio, game events, tutorial 100000000 / 10
The audio was very fun! Reminded me of "Dude, Stop!"
Rail signals, I completely overlooked this idea!
You guys have my greatest respect. Being able to build humor this good into a game is an art form. The voice recordings are pure gold!
P.S. During my playthrough, no influencer was harmed...
Gameplay is extremely simple to wrap your mind around but becomes difficult very quickly in the best way possible! The VA is great and adds a lot of humor and entertainment to the game that would otherwise make it boring, like how Portal was in playtesting before GLaDOS was added. I especially found the "running over influencer" mechanic hilarious.
If there's one thing I would want to see improved is for it to be more obvious where a train is going to enter the map. I find myself being surprised at a train having seemingly "appeared" partway through the track, when I know it had to come in from off-screen.
Overall, absolutely excellent work done here!
The second time the map expanded and I just realized how huge the map was I panicked a tiny bit, just how am I going to keep track of all of this. But with the simple mechanics and the pacing of the challenge I really felt like I could handle it. To me one of the best experiences in a game is seeing something you don't think you can handle but then realize that you have mastered a part of the game and challenges are able to be tackled easier than you thought. Great pacing and I could really tell that you guys had a fun time making this, the voice-overs are great!
I love it! The controls are instantly intuitive and explained well with the tutorial, and the game is both fun and hectic. Self made voiceover is something I always enjoy in LD games too!
Really fun game, loved the voice acting Cons: Can't ram trains together :( Pros: Can run people over with trains :) I would say those balance out, really good submission overall!
Really well made -- good tutorial, the graphics are minimalistic but still look good and do the job perfectly, and the voice over is super good! When the map size expands all the way to switch H it really gets absolutely crazy haha.
Masterful use of adding a bit of friction to a simple mechanic to make something really compelling by not showing the controls and the rails at the same time! The voice over adds a great bit of charm and humour as well! Was definitely making things a lot harder for myself by trying to avoid trains hitting each other :sweat_smile:
This is the kind of game I could waste hours on and not realise it, well done. The voice acting took me by suprise and it was very well done, some of the voice lines and reactions got me, especially anything to do with the granny. Fantastic job, well done.
I won!! Loved the voice acting and gameplay! Also really funny that you have to actively engage with the tutorial and if you ignore it you get yelled at :) It was sometimes a little stressful, but you know the good kind of stressful when you have to manage a thousand things at once, because the game is well balanced and forgiving. Good difficulty increments too!
very funny entry, loved the voice acting and the humor
I also thought the gameplay worked really well and it escalated nicely, for some reason at first I thought I should also avoid letting the trains collide but once I saw they just pass by each other it made it a lot less tense lol
Very fun, except when sheeps appeared just in front of a train! Or when people appeared on both tracks after an intersection and a train arrives! You have a decent margin of error though, so not a big deal; but I still wonder how this margin can be this high, they must really have a good insurance...
