Ranked from 35 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You as the train dispatcher manage calm train traffic, but a storm is approaching, and soon, too many trains will overwhelm the tracks. You must keep control before chaos strikes.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I wrote the code myself, and most of the visuals.
Sounds and some of the office models are not mine.

I really liked the mechanic. It's something new that hasn't been done before I don't think... Not that I know of, but that was really cool! I enjoyed the game! Very polished, I didn't encounter any bugs. Well done my fellow human.

I was very intrigued to see where this was going! It's a shame you didn't have time to make a proper game loop, but that's game jams for ya! Mechanically very different from most games I've seen on this jam, and a very unique take on the theme.

Maybe the game shouldn't be 3d.
And it could benefit for some tutorials or tooltips or labels.

Like the fact that it's different and about trains :)

It was hard to tell when trains were about to collide.

You can see my experience here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2252577785?t=01h03m46s

Yep, definitely some space for improvements, like a tutorial and a some labels on there. 

The collision effect was last minute thing so I had no time to finish it sadly :/

Thanks so much for playing! 

Very useful feedback, nice to see the view from the player.

Appriciate it! :D

I like the innovative idea! It's honestly really hard to understand I had to try a couple of time to get what is happening. Graphics are simple but really nice.

This is a type of game I don't have a lot of experience with, but I enjoyed how much was left up to my imagination. You didn't overwhelm me with trying to show the trains, or feed me random information about who was on the trains or anything like that. I'm wondering how it would feel if you added a simple audio track of humming or whistling to yourself? The kinds of sounds we make to ourselves when we're alone in a quiet room. But jeez, the artwork you went for really feels good in my opinion. Awesome stuff!

That's a wonderful idea! Will def add something like that, loved the sounds from your game.
Thanks for the feedback, I didn't really want to add too much music etc, but sounds like that would be awesome!
Appriciate it! :D
