Wow, this was genuinely HILARIOUS! Has to be my favorite arcade-inspired co-op resource-management rogue-like about some reverse isekai-d alchemists who use a train to run from monsters while gathering resources between hordes to craft tools and weapons to reduce the horde!! The sheer amount of mechanics in this are pretty insane, and I REALLY loved the mixed media art style. I will say, it had some pretty serious performance issues, and I had to restart a few times after it had completely locked up my browser. This detracted from the experience a bit, but the humor and style really helped ease the pain! Great job on this :)

- Since i was unable to play the game due to lag, I could not actually play the game adequately. The Shadow theme in my eyes is missing, but the alchemy idea is present and fairly good. The art is fairly simple looking .
Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?

Tell us about your game!
You're an innocent bystander from a world of magic with a unique hobby: trains. You've mastered the art of "trainsmutation" (yep, pun intended). But, in a twist of fate, you've been isekai'd into a universe where the void consumes everything!
To survive the onslaught, you need to gather resources and use your trainsmutation skills to create powerful, deadly trains. Plus, you can mix your flasks with ingredients you find in the world to help defend your train! It's time to gear up, brew some potions, and face the void!
