Somehow I missed that intersections were what made money in the tutorial, so sat watching totally safe and pointless trains for a while. Once it clicked though, it was quite a lot of fun.

It'd be interesting to have incentives to send tracks to particular places to slightly constrain the player's options. Overall though, good job!

The game self-balances in a really natural way (which is the sign of a good game idea, if you ask me). And the feeling of hecticness when you're trying to desperately stop everything from colliding is definitely out of control! What a rush!

Thanks! Thats definitely the vibe I was going for. Things may get out of control but it may or may not be the players fault! haha

I like the way this one challenges you in lots of different ways - the physical dexterity of clicking the trains quickly if they're all about to collide, the ability to actually look at all the rails and see where collisions will occur, and the strategy of thinking about where to place the rails to maximise stations while minimising collisions.

Thanks so much! We definitely wanted to include alot of strategy while also allowing things to get out of control quickly.

I really liked this game - really cool how you are allowed to free-form pick wherever the tracks go.
