Ranked from 12 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?
Building more cars on the train affects other aspects of operation, such as heat / speed / mass, so its important to keep the scale of the train in mind when creating your setup. Scale your train up until it gets too massive, then scale your train down by selling train cars you've accumulated.

fun concept, really enjoyed the backgrounds of the biomes, especially the desert. the snow biome gave me a bit of a jump scare tho haha. also enjoyed exploding my train :)

An Actual TyphoonDeveloper190 days ago

We had a lot of fun coming up with those biomes.

I'm glad that you were able to go out with a BANG!

trains good = game good

Fun idea, and love the style. I did find it hard to judge the distance to the towns, and frequently just missed them. I feel that the time limit also makes it hard to really test large trains; I got five cars at the end, and no more.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I would definitely like to improve those. A warning sign would be cool, and I think that I'd like the player to try and reach a certain amount of winning money via a big train instead of having a countdown.

I loved your sumo mushroom game too!

Did not understand the game.

An Actual TyphoonDeveloper190 days ago

We'd like to know more, so that we can improve! :)

Were you able to start and stop the train?

Were you able to find a shop?

Did some user interface elements seem cut off?

Were you able to finish the game, or did you only get a game over screen?

Neat idea! I liked the art and the music the most. Final Score 24.
