I can see the premise! I could totally see more train upgrades, more interesting choices between "Do I add more passengers, storage, upgrade engines". As-is, it was pretty easy to cap out passengers after 2 stops with my coffers overflowing.

This was a delightful and extremely relaxing game to play! I hope you're able to iterate on it further. You might even be able to expand to multiple trains somehow and have a mini economics game.
Thank you for playing! We're glad you found our game relaxing. Our initial idea was more stressful and challenging but due to strict deadline we transformed it into a more easy going one. Thank you for your input. Although some people find economics unnerving we may look into that possibility as well :)
I ADORED the artstyle, even more as a big fan of trains! I think I got lucky and was able to keep my reputation high, and thankfully didn't get stranded between stations. Would love to see this iterated on!
Stellar presentation, although I could not manage to either go game over or improve my reputation.
I'm a fan of trains, so I just had to play this one :D
Gotta say, I liked the music and the art! The gameplay itself wasn't bad either, just a bit basic. I figured out how to swap cars from gold to passenger a bit too late and restarted, and after that it was a breeze. By the way, for some reason I really like the fact that the stations are moving too. That had a nice feeling to it, like the game never slowed down, the train was like the bus from the movie "Speed" (I think that's the one), and the train caught up to the station instead of the passengers to the train. Love it.
Really wonderful visuals, and it seemed like a very interesting beginning to a game!
The art, design, and music all look and sound great! It's a shame you couldn't finish in time, but it seems like a great jumping off point for something in the future.
At this point, mostly listen to Cashwarrior1 and MusicByRonan's excellent sounds and music, admittedly. It came out as just a proof of concept with the bare minimum mechanics included: the train goes, gold can be spent, resources can be depleted, the train can go faster or slower depending on how many cars are attached.
