Really fantastic! Train gamers unite

I've played so many tower defense games here in the jam, but this is BY FAR the best one!

The variety of tools, the different enemies, and having to manage three regions at the same time really kept it interesting. Being able to hit enemies with the train itself and that satisfying sound effect was satisfying! I also loved the art style and the music. Honestly, I have nothing but good things to say. Well done!

Really cool blend of concepts that all work pretty well together!

Such a great concept. I love a good tower defense game, and this one is a breath of fresh air. Lovely presentation and a lovely idea.

If I could nitpick about some things, I'd probably say that the dialogue pops during weird moments (like when you're defending) and that the level is a bit cramped and would benefit from a larger map with more camera control.

Superb entry. Good job!

Ohhh nice game ! I really liked the chara design

Great game. Very well executed. The train brings new choices to make: to place a turn now, to wait, or to add a wagon? I find it a bit verbose; you often get interrupted in the action. The graphics are nice. Well done.

Fantastic game. The train loop mechanic was a great idea, forces really interesting decision making about where to place towers, and balancing the different resources.

A tooltip when hovering over the different weapons was the only thing lacking for me, to understand what it was good/weak against.

Good work!

This is the intersection of my two favorite genres it was so fun!

Really fun game! My face when I realized it was tower defense LOL

Love the little personalities everyone has! I did notice one small bug however is when you tried to place a tower when your train was already full, it would drain the resources even though nothing was placed. But still, amazing job overall!

Love the writing

Surprisingly addictive!

Impressive stuff!

Fun game! I love tower defense games and I thought this was very well fleshed out. I just kept accidentally placing towers when i was going through the dialogue though haha. Great job!

I was going to write a full detail review, but I just didn’t get much to say otherwise that I LOVE this one. Like, it’s really my favourite.

First of all: tower defense, one of my favourite genres. The mix of that with the train, meaning that you have to get to that place to defend it was so clever and really gave the gameplay a strong twist! Running around the map is fast, and the train sound is satisfying, so it’s also cool. Really creative work in fitting that into the theme.

Second, all the other stuff are really really great. The map art is simple but gives each region their own charm, and the mini units and enemies are very cute. And the characters were my favourite. Their random little comments are funny and can show their personality on their own, and their arts are just so good. The dwarf is silly, the human has that powerful figure and the elf is beautiful. I just think that one detail would be cool, and that would be them commenting when their region gets destroyed (idk if that’s already in the game, if it is then I didn’t receive it)

And last but not least important, the music is a vibe. And there’s not only one, but two, which might not seem like a big difference, but hearing another song when you start the game gives it a more polished and finished image IMO.

I gave it all 5s. I almost gave narrative a 4, but the fact that you guys put personality on each character and region for such a small game, and combined with the different art style for each of them, damn, this is gold. (not that I have it tho, I let the humans get destroyed lol. that’s actually another good point, you do not lose the game when you lose one region and that changes the gameplay a lot)

If this doesn’t win, I’m crazy. AT LEAST top 100. Good job.
