How does your game fit the theme?
When removing controlled acceleration and deceleration, moving Trains get out of control (from the perspective of its drivers). Thus, you have to take control, indirectly!

This is a cool idea! I really like the style.

I feel like it was a bit too difficult to gauge exactly how fast the train would be going at a given step.

It felt a bit too easy. I was just creating a path to the end out of normal tracks, and if that was too fast, I would replace one of the tracks and try again.

Also there is a glitch where if you spam place a tile on a single spot, you'll get an infinite amount of them.

This was a great idea for a game! I loved the art style and the gameplay. However, the level design is very simplistic and the puzzles are extremely obvious.  I'm sure that, with more levels, this could be an amazing game.

This is a really unique idea, none of the other games I've played went with a building simulation. I also love the blueprint aesthetics. I think the only thing missing is more levels, but it's understandable given the time constraint.

Thank you!

I haven't seen that many either, but we just thought that the blueprint style would fit this game idea very well :)

this game is pretty cool! i really love the art style, please keep working on it even after the jam, i want to see more of this!

Thank you very much! Initially, we were inspired by Mini Metro but then decided to go with the blueprint style as it fits the "plan the railroads" quite well.

We will see, we came up with a lot of intriguing ideas and might elaborate some of these more thoroughly, but maybe we'll give this one a rework too :)

Great idea. I like the blueprint look. It could use some more levels though.

Thanks a lot! Yes indeed, we had a lot more in our minds but didn't get to add it to the jam version of the game :)
