I usually dread any card based games, but I really enjoyed this one. Great use of the Locomotive optional secondary theme too.

Pretty cool idea! Is there a specific game that inspired the single turn combat mechanic? Slay the Spire and Monster Train come to mind for obvious reasons. As a fan of deck builders it's great seeing the genre get some love in game jams!

I like how many different card mechanics you designed - cool abilities and flavor to them. It did feel like there were many of them and going for synergies was not a very effective strategy as it was difficult to pick many cards that would go together. I ended up selecting all around good cards instead of ones that relied on combos. Maybe introducing different families of cards on different runs to help the pool of cards be smaller in each run could've alleviated this issue. Tricky with the jam deadline I know.

The deck families concept is really good! I've never played any deck-building video games (but of course I've heard of Slay the Spire, which was my main inspiration, and I've played Gwent, but that's a card game, not a deck-building game), so that's probably why some elements don't fit together perfectly.

(There are also no sound effects... I need to learn how to create them...)

Thank you for playing!

This setting and its proper use makes the familiar card game much fresher ^^ 
But you definitely should add some sound effects.

Really polished and fun deck builder!

First of all: the UI transitions are really fancy! Starting a new round and seeing the wagons. Perfectly! I also liked that you had to put the card onto the train wagons. A nice touch.

Two points of criticism: the game could really benefit from sound effects since the visuals are so nice. A crashing sound when hitting the enemy. Second: a wave counter of some sorts. I got really far, but I lost track of the number of waves :(

Nice and effective. Thank you for this entry!

First of all, thank you for playing! I agree 100% with the criticism, I just didn't have time to create sound effects and didn't even think about a wave counter... But I think I'll add it after the jam is over!

Incredibly fun game, im a fan of deckbuilders and this immediately hit all those sensibilities. I think the sounds and music are the only thing i would say needs a little adding too. But the rest of the game is very well made and fun. Good job!

I found the game confusing at first but once I got it, I really enjoyed it. Neat little deckbuilder

Solid visuals and nice gameplay, only missing some sounds. 

Its pretty good.

This is pretty good, i like the very flash game vibe from the vector sprites, and the menu transitions and UI feel really polished.

The acoustic guitar only soundtrack is really awesome as well :D

If i had to nitpick i’d say it is just slightly confusing on what stats matter in order for you to win the round over the enemies but once it clicks it clicks.

Overall well done :)

I love the sound track and visuals, the gameplay is very cool too. Very nice concept. It was easy to understand but very fun to play :)

Nice job bro
