Ranked from 35 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You as the train dispatcher manage calm train traffic, but a storm is approaching, and soon, too many trains will overwhelm the tracks. You must keep control before chaos strikes.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I wrote the code myself, and most of the visuals.
Sounds and some of the office models are not mine.

it is very calm playing the game (badum tsss) before the storm is close. When you've done the last polish with death/restart, and gotten some of the 2d into 3d, it's gonna be great!

Developer

Thanks so much! I was a bit disappointed for not transfering everything into 3D, but thanks for the feedback! I will definitly polish it now with new motivation ;)

Love the concept, and again, it's hard to figure out what's going on ://

I figured it out after a bit and did have a lot of fun. Great job

Developer

Yep my bad :P
Will polish and make a tutorial so it's playable hahah

Thanks so much!

I like the concept, but agree with the other commenters that it's a bit of a struggle to grasp what's going on. I like the presentation style of trying to simulate the train dispatcher. Some quality of life improvements like just having the switches be labelled on the board instead of having to hover over them could make a big difference in playability.

Developer

Thanks so much! Yep I definitely planned to make it a lot different from the start, and the labels and buttons were kinda last minute...               But I didn't have time to transfer everything into 3D until yesterday :P

My bad, making two games hahah.

Thanks for the feedback!

The game restarts at a certain point while playing, does it mean I lost? Do I lose with contact between 2 trains?

Developer(+1)

Yep if two (green lights) collide u lose.
Did not have time to implement death / restart :P

I really like the 3D environment and the audio, it has a really nice cozy atmosphere

Cool concept, but i haven't really understood how the game must be played.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, ye I'm sorry. I didn't have enough time to make a tutorial. 

The Green lights on the main screen represents the trains. 

The Red Signals needs to be activated for the train to pass. 

You can controll everything by interacting with the WHITE BUTTONS on the LEFT-SIDE PANEL.

Turn on / off signals and switch the rails.

Thanks for playing either way! :D

Couldn't really rate the game loop itself as it isn't finished but it looks pretty nice, also runs very well on the web. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! Appriciate it!

Developer

To controll the trains, use the buttons on the right panel.

Developer

I'm sorry but I lost time that I thought I had, so The game isn't finished...
It's still playable and you can get the feel of the game.
