Very solid game! I enjoyed the increasing difficulty. It felt quite balanced. Nice puzzle mechanics and the art is very nice! The music is also enjoyable and didn't get on my nerves at all! lol nice work!
Thank you!
Enjoy the puzzle and Art Design. Good job.
Thank you!
I liked the artwork, music, and puzzles design. You did a great job :D
Thank you!
Really nice art, great music and a really fun concept. I had a lot of fun playing this, I can't believe it doesn't have more ratings, well done!
Thank you! I'll let the artists and musician know, glad you enjoyed!
Very creative and fun game! Looping train rails are great match with the theme too. I played it several hours, everything is perfect but controls were confusing at the beginning. It is not clear for me that green dots are something to go on with mouse and draw the rail. It is great controls idea but it may be more clear.
Thank you! Yeah, some sort of diagram to explain the controls might be better, but I’m glad you had fun!
Elegantly done!!!
Thank you!
This is an awesome game! Can't believe I spent so much time playing this - and enjoyed every moment of it. Loved the loop theme and gameplay. And it really made you think! puzzle and ingenuity... you should release this as a full game!
And this was made from a custom-made engine? Smooth graphics... Liked the wild west music...
Thank you! I’m working on a Factorio inspired game so hopefully I can get some elements from this game into it somewhere!
Incredible! really smart puzzle design
Thanks! I originally had a simpler rail system but then I thought of a few of the puzzles and decided that I had to make this system so that they’d be possibly. Good to hear it paid off!
Very fitting graphics, consistent style. And nice music loop.
First I was wondering about the mechanism to place a rail. But then I understood - I really like it, makes the normally complex selection of the rail to place very intuitive. GREAT!
I like the ramp up of complexity: pick up, more trains, ...
Very nice game!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, the building system was designed for those complex situations so it’s good to know it worked well for you!
Very impressive for an inhouse engine thingy! The rail building mechanic feels really good, better than some other games that I've played so far! There's a lot of potential here!
Thank you, being able to finish a game in our own engine was a big goal for us so this jam has been great!
Great game that need more reviews from real puzzle gamers. I played the whole thing for about 30 minutes, because I absolutely loved it. It is challenging, with the right difficulty curve. If I did not finish it in one sitting, I would dream of different solutions tonight.
Thank you! Great to hear you enjoyed our game!
Whoa this is criminally under-reviewed! Very cool entry. The building system is very intuitive, reminiscent of Roller Coaster Tycoon. I'll have to give this another go to solve all the puzzles. Thanks for sharing your game on stream!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed!
Really impressed with the rail-building system. Well done!
Thank you! That's something we put a lot of time into, could still be better but glad you found it good!
Super clean looking, and I love the way it implements loops! I was a bit confused about the track building controls to start with, since I skimmed through the tutorial wanting to jump straight in assuming you just had to simply drag across the screen like in my entry. But the actual track building controls make sense once I read the instructions more carefully, although I kept messing up when trying to build quickly.
10/10 little game, well done!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed! We originally had a (primitive) drag to place feature too, but it turned out to feel tricky to build exactly what you wanted in complex junctions and intersections, so we decided the dot system worked better. Maybe a hybrid of both would be best, so you can both build fast and precise!
I love this, its a really unique take and quite fun! Controls for track building are a little difficult though. Other wise Great job!!
Thank you! I’m glad you had fun! Track building could definitely be improved, since it’s quite tricky to design a good control system.
This was super cool and I loved the idea of your loops! My only suggestion on making it better is that it was a bit hard to control building tracks
Thank you! Great to hear you liked it! I agree about the controls, if we work on this game in future that’ll be one of the priorities!
Nice game, I'm really impressed at how fluid the track building system turned out to be - sometimes that sort of thing can be really finicky, but you nailed it!
Thanks! We had multiple iterations of play testing to improve the building. Definitely could still be better but I’m happy with how it turned out. Glad you enjoyed!
