Hi, i try to play it but, it get stuck on loading after click atrt, visually seeing the photos looks prety good, would like to try it but, i cant sorry, dont know why it doesnt load for me xs
WOAH, THIS IS SUCH A COOL LITTLE CITY TRAVEL SIM! 🚇🗺️🏙️✨
I really like the idea of turning the journey home into a city navigation challenge. The simple presentation works really well for this kind of game, and the UI, art style, and overall atmosphere feel cohesive. It also fits the theme in a more grounded way by making the travel itself the main experience.
The concept has a lot of room to grow too. More city routes, different travel situations, unexpected events, and clearer consequences for taking slower or faster paths could make each journey feel more meaningful. The planned star-rating system would be a great addition as well, especially for encouraging players to replay and improve their routes.
REALLY NICE WORK, ESPECIALLY WITH 70 HOURS OF DEVELOPMENT! 🏙️🎮🔥 The foundation is strong and I’d love to see this expanded with more maps and polished backgrounds. Great job and good luck with the jam! 🏠✨
Really polished presentation. The art, UI, and music all feel very cohesive.
I did run into a browser issue. The game would sit on the loading screen indefinitely in Edge but worked once I switched to Chrome.
The core gameplay didn’t really click for me, and I struggled to connect it strongly to the theme, but the presentation is very well done.
I really like the idea of this. Visuals were also really nice :D
I just wish there were more levels!
Really good concept which fits the theme and well executed! I liked how different events affect the travel mode and paths. This could be expanded into a larger game with more levels and more polished art! I think that maybe there could be some penalty for choosing certain smaller routes which could impact the outcome of the level. Currently it is just win/ lose, but instead if it were graded as stars or points, it would add a lot of depth. Well done with the current implementation, its a really good start and I had fun with these 2 levels.
yes, I actually in the dev log showed how I intended to rate with stars the faster/slower you got to the goal, unfortunately I was too slow to get done with it, I'll likely patch it with these and the 2 maps remaining after the jam its done
thanks for playing!
I tried four browsers and the game stayed on “Loading…” forever on all of them. But I love the title, and the screenshots look intriguiing.
fun idea! there's surely a lot happening on these subway lines.
the game doesn't work in edge browser (but does work in chrome).
I liked how old-school it feels, there's something cozy about it
mine was stuck loading :O
thats strange, can you tell me which browser/device did you use? so far didnt know
Nice entry ! i love teh visual simple but give you all the info ou need , simple but fun to plaus
Good Work!
Interesting and unique concept, well done! The art and vibe are cohesive and well put together too.
Overall a very solid entry, you can be proud of your work.
