Very creative game. Im so glad this genre was represented in game jam. I still cant stop thinking about that amazing dino
Really cool take on a tower defence game, I like how wild the mascots can get onscreen sometimes, and it's always funny to be concentrating on one thing, then realise there are a whole bunch of enemies bullying your resources at the other end of the map and scrambling to get a train over there.
Only thing that made the game slightly hard to play was my mousewheel doesn't work well these days, so it was a bit difficult to zoom in and out, I couldn't work out the keyboard hotkeys but it wasn't a big problem.
The idea of a transport game mixed with tower defense has a lot of potential! You really got me thinking about where you could take the game with more time to work on it.
What a hectic time! Felt virtually impossible at first, but eventually got through it (mostly using lots of cold chicken at the start). A very unique take that paid off.
I love how refined and complex the game is! Really fun to lay down tracks and I love how smartly they linked up with each other. Amazing
A cool combination with city/transport building simulator with the smoke box theme. Quite challenging to juggle between maintaining the supply chain and keeping my buildings alive!
Thank you!
A game genre i'm not super familiar with but what's here is really great. The mechanics are solid and engaging. I think the difficulty curve is really nice, and the animations of everything running are really amazing and mesmerizing. Fantastic job!
Thank you, I hope you had fun :)
This was a really fun strategy game. It took me a while to get into the mechanics , and I was stuck on the second level for a while, but it was engaging enough to keep going until I finished. Love the idea of the smoke box being a billow.
Thanks for playing it! I admit it can be confusing first, i wish I had more time to polish it a little.
This is a cool entry. Not my kind of game at all, but I ended up having a really good time. I think the level of difficulty was just about right for each stage to the point that it felt hectic, but in a fun way. Loved the visuals, too. Jambon on a dino is a highlight, but it was all great.
Thanks! Oh yeah, Jambon is my favorite too, I think a dinosaur and a loong cigarette was a great combination that way.
What a wild angle to take - a huge feat of creativity to make such an unexpected genre serve the theming and characters.
Thank you!
I love seeing people tackle more genres in these jams! It was hectic as hell at first, but after getting the hang of it I really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
not at all the kind of game i normally play. i will admit i struggled and was able to beat some levels. but i had fun and felt a great sense of accomplishment on the ones i did beat. the story is fun and making a game like this for the jam really stands out among the field. and the inclusion of a well designed debug/cheats menu was very appreciated since i got to see the whole story despite my struggles
Thanks! Yes I put the level selector in the main menu because I wasn't sure how much time other players need. Its hard to balance if I know the optimal way. I am happy that u saw the other levels!
I struggle with strategy games so decided to only watch Kyle play this rather than try it myself. It was cool seeing him go from overwhelmed to really engaged with the mechanics. My main takeaways were the amazing character art and animations like Jambon's tall dinosaur companion, Franky's disturbing log generation, and the squirting cows. Between the music and visuals, the game came across like a Cartoon Network flash game you could sink hours and hours into. And I think the premise ties in perfectly with The Smoke Box. This is a really impressive submission, great job WeakLeaf!
Thank you! Somehow I had to balance my inability to draw with humor :D
This is a really cool idea for a smoke box game. I really have no idea how you got a game like this to work within a month, seems super complicated! Great work!
Thanks! I planned a lot more features but I had to cut them out, I almost didnt make it in time it was rough
