Wow, that's amazing! Really cool idea, I like to be train driver! Also it's very unique that we have a fire train. Very cool, thank you for those emotions :)

The graphics are really well done, and it's really satisfying seeing the train put out the fires on the trees. Nice job!

The game was fun, and even though I only played a bit, I think it was enough to give a fair impression.
There was a freezing issue during gameplay  but I totally understand, since I had the same problem in my own game too in the web with the UI😅
As a suggestion, I recommend providing a Windows download version as well. That way players can avoid performance issues and it might help you get better ratings.
Great job overall, and keep going strong!
Feel free to check out my game too and leave an honest rating  I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks for your feedback :) Yeah I think godot has some issues with the html export. Maybe fixable but you're right we should have exported a windows build too.

God, I love this idea and design so much! It’s incredibly creative and unique, especially the concept of using the brush to clear away the smoke!

The only thing is that when I play and move the mouse, the cursor flickers quite a lot. I also think the water button in the bottom left doesn’t work (or maybe I just didn’t see it properly, no worries).

I also believe that some music or sound effects would have really elevated the game!
But overall, it looks super fun and I found it addictive to play. Keep it up!

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words ! Means a lot :)

I'm really sorry about the bugginess of the game, I didn't plan ahead for bug fixing ^^

We learnt a lot as a team I think, plus sound design would have been awesome to add. 

Ty again, loved ur game

The control and art makes it feel soooo nice to play! Eventhough the track limits the movement but the control is so well made I would just run around in there lol. I played on my phone and sometimes it freezes the screen, but before that was GREAT!

Developer

Wait I'm legit amazed that you got it running on your phone, that's awesome ! We hadn't intended that ^^

Thanks for the feedback!

Good game! Art is cute and super aesthetically pleasing. Gameplay is fun and satisfying to learn.

Great job!

Choo ! Thanks a lot :)

I mean you can’t go wrong with trains in your game, right?

Sadly this lagged all the time for me, not just in the beginning. So controlling was a bit hard.

The art is cute and figuring out what the controls do feels rewarding. Also you learn your track after a while. That’s nice gameplay!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! I'm sorry you had a laggy experience :/ We really are learning that it's better to keep scope down in order to leave time for testing and bug fixing. Choo CHOO !

The game and the idea itself looks promising and great. I really like the concept of the train, it felt so cool to play it. There are some bugs that prevents me to enjoy it to its fullest. The web player made my browser freeze and the water carriage somehow got separated from the locomotive. Other than that, the art style is great, the ideas of the control (speed, directions etc) are really good idea. Although directions didn't work all the time. And the brush idea added some tensions.

it was a nice idea that I wish could be more expanded. But overall it's a great thing to see it work as is :) well done

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and persevering through the bugs ^^ I have no idea what causes the freeze on the web player, sadly we didn't have time to test it (as seen on the "submitted 6 seconds before the deadline" haha).

even the 6seconds are on the theme!
