Needs some work to make it into a full "game" indeed, but it's already pretty well done and the idea is funny. Hope you'll make an updated version =)

I think i kill all the hamster in this planet, all to save Stalin!

Nice idea!

I couldn't play it unfortunately. I think it was a bit much for my laptop. Train would just run off the track before it would register any input. Nice idea though, if it's a Good Place reference I can appreciate that.

What specs does your laptop have? As it runs fine on my phone as well...

2gb ram

Ram shouldn't be the issue. The GPU is most likely the culpit.

I killed Gandhi and saved Batman! Geeez! 

Actually I wanted to do the negative, but when I figured out who to save and who to kill, it was too late... 

I really love the concept dude! Putting player in that dilemmatic situation ... 

And you coded it in c++ ?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yep. C++ code, really messy code. Compiled to web with emscripten (I can also make windows/linux and android builds)

Also, not knowing exactly how to control it was part of the plan so to say. It extra simulates that you need to make an difficult choice timing critical, without knowing exactly how. And you need a few unfortunate mistakes (like killing santa) before you make your best choices.

It's quite a funny concept!

Love the idea, models are cute, but I wish you weren't just running over text. Also struggled with figuring out the controls. Should probably put that in the description.
