Really cool interpretation of the theme and great use of wildcards! Graphics, audio and level design are great too! Controls felt a bit delayed but I got used to it in time. Sadly I didn't have time to play the game in the ratings phase. Great work!

Wow!
Great game - loved the difficulty, not enough to make me break my computer but enough to get me to try, try, try....try again
I mean it, I loved the challenge.
Game felt very polished - sound maybe could have been improved on, but that is nitpicking best so far for me

Chapter 2: Smoke and IronThe controls felt weird, it felt like the snake turned late (eventhough it was my fault for pressing the button too late).

Escort the Wagonvery cool, its a simple concept but works well! i especially liked when the level started moving with the camera as well, it was a small change but it made the game a lot more fun! but as other people have said, the controls could be better. other then that tho its a really good entry!

The FroggerySuch a good looking and sounding game. Very cute spin on the concept.

Toy Train SimulatorSo cool!!!
I like the style and difficulty is on point for me.
However the timing on turn is hard to get and the gamplay gets... unnatural. I had to force myself to press the buttons early to get the move I want.
Anyway, great idea, looks good, design is great. ++

Trains go brrThere is so much that is good here. The graphics, the animation. The puzzles. The challenge. But... and it's a big but, the controls are really odd. I expected A to turn left and for D to turn right. It's very hard to adjust!
I'll try again and maybe I'll get used to it!

Rubi on RailzThis is a great game! Lots of polish, a well thought out gameplay loop, and great visuals and audio. You’ve received lots of feedback on the controls, so instead I’d like to mention that I think this would really shine with some adaptive music.
Like, introducing a fast paced drum beat when you pick up a chilli, having some kind of happy travel motif when you have passengers, or having the music turn big and ponderous when you have a certain number of carriages.
That’s just a suggestion, of course. Overall this was such a cool game it doesn’t really need it.
Well done!
This is a really cool concept to The Snake game and turning it into a puzzle game. I wish the snake was a little more forgiving but I also might be bad just seem to run into walls while I am trying to turn at the tile before I hit but I am too slow.

Panda XPressHELL YEAH I FINALLY BEAT THE LAST LEVEL.
Very good game. You turned snake into a fun little puzzle platformer / rythm game. I like it. The powerups were very well introduced, great level design.
Looks very charming. Strong contender for top 1 this jam I think

Blooter Upon RailsI love the concept, art style, and audio. It's a very polished game! The only thing I had trouble with is identifying exactly when to turn, because the art style is so good it's difficult to tell exactly where the underlying grid cells are. I think adding very faintly visible grid lines would help a little to make the controls less frustrating without taking too much challenge out of it.

FreightloaderThis has good potential! I had fun but got frustrated by dying without any apparent reason. I was more than a square away from closest wall and didn't go into myself. Bad loser, apparently :D
No but I think you could have added a death animation, or crash animation and made sure that it happens when you actually crash into the wall. Now it happens WAY before any real crash occurs. So that was a little sad to me.
Music fit very well, good jungle theme :D
Also interesting idea to have an objective driven snake with wagons, it was an original take on a classic game.
The controls were what made me quit after a few levels.
Cool game, well done!

Blooter Upon RailsGreat idea and creative take on the theme! I loved this as a puzzle game.
Obviously labouring the point here, but I definitely got frustrated without some "cayote time" on the tiles. I definitely did not feel like I had hit stuff. Either way, with that tweak I think you will have a unique and marketable idea here for a bigger project!
Definitely feels like a really cohesive product. Well done!

TraintrisThis is a fantastic entry. Its super creative. The art and sound are excellent, and I really loved the puzzles you've build. This is a fun twist on snake that is very well executed. My only issue is the same that others have mentioned, which is that the controls are super punishing. I think with some more forgiving controls, you basically have a complete product if you can come up with more great levels. Amazing job.

Trains and BanditsI like that is just train as snake but the twist of the passengers, the only thing to improve is the controls, they aren't responsive enough, the feedback of the tile you're at is also weird, but it is not consistent when you press (sometimes it turns fast other times it completely ignores your input).
