Very cool and tight little game loop! Immediately started to see risk-reward with fuel, expanding gameplay over time, some fun balance. I laughed hysterically the first time my own train shot or ran over me, too. Could easily see this being a fun bullethell - I wonder if you could expand this by having the trains follow routes you can place or expand the route of, having some upgrades me new rail tracks that upgrade the train temporarily as buffs when ridden over; or maybe you could hop on and off the train to get around too. Nicely done!

I like the implementation of the theme, it's quite enjoyable. The upgrade cards feel balanced for a 4 day game. Good job !
Wow, quite challenging! You've done something super cool - taken two different game concepts and mashed them into one game that is intuitive, logical, and quite fun to play!
When I wasn't dying every 2 seconds, I really enjoyed the polished graphics, animations, and effects. The game is presented really well, and the trains going around the looop fits the theme in a very literal - and creative - way.
I found it pretty difficult keeping the trains fueled, and it seemed that my character had an addiction to endlessly dying and respawning... maybe that is the true loop!
Jokes aside, super fun to play and a really charming submission. I like the direction you took with this game, as well as your profound sense of creativity! 😄
Great example of game design! I really liked the balancing act of collecting fuel and dealing with far enemies while coming back to keep the trains running. I reached wave 15. Well done!
