Left Wildcard

The first wildcard (description pending)

Game Description
This is a train simulator where you drive on a line with only two stations. Use the accelerator and brake effectively to come to a precise stop at the stop line. Due to time constraints, the ending was not possible.

How does your game tie into the theme?
The word momentum makes me think of the heavier something is, the slower it accelerates and decelerates, and railways come to mind as a prime example of this. I also chose a supervisor for rookie drivers as my little companion.

What a brilliant idea for the jam and a 3D world. I loved it, even if it was only 2 stations. Took me 2 stops to notice the big blue box on my cockpit I was supposed to align. Thought the pink bar referred to passenger carriages and the blue was different, maybe, that and the instructor yapping. Excuses.

There's not much challenge, but the blurb makes clear their time constraints and they delivered an experience to be proud of.

Thank you for playing! Yes, I may not have explained the stop line well enough.

I enjoyed the player feedback.

The breaking should be improved to be more responsive to player input.

A further development opportunity would be to add more in-vehicle control functions.

It's a nice little game with cool sounds and the mechanic feels right! 
Congratulations on your submission :)

Nice work! Obviously on the short side but still charming. It would have been nice to get some nicer compliments, I really got it almost perfectly aligned a few times but all I got was a “good job” :). I really appreciate how clear the target was.

The game feels a little slow paced, but was very responsive. I would have liked some background music.

What a delight! I loved my little buddy too, we had enough rapport that he even called me a fool now and then. Simple and addicting, I want to be real life train captain now, with my own little buddy!
