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!

How does your game fit the theme?
The trains must follow a loop of rails to return to where they came from.

I liked the artwork, music, and puzzles design. You did a great job :D
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.
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...
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
