Hey, I happened to make a Train themed game too! Cheers.

The gameplay is very methodical and clunky, just like I imagine operating a real train car shunter would be. I think you could make things a bit more fun if you could move the shunter with the arrow keys, simply to free up your mouse for the couplings/rail switching. After figuring out the logic of a puzzle, it's still quite tedious to complete it.

I made it as far as the level with two train cars, I accidentally got some of my bottom cars stuck under the coal dispenser.

Thanks for sharing the game!

A bit confusing to have to interact on the game area AND on the bottom screen. It was cool to have 3d graphcis, a nice change from other pixel art games Overall I think the game lacked a bit of “punch”
