WW1 with Zombies and cannons on rails what's not to love. The gameplay is fun and the story telling is solid.
Outstanding work!
This game is very cool and fun to play. It has everything. A fantastic setting, amazing mechanics and stunning visuals. I like how the sound of the train almost become part of the soundtrack and follows the rhythm when it slow down and pick up speed. There was also a very cool boss fight. Amazing.
Man, that was fantastic! I loved it, the aesthetics, the gameplay, the music, even a boss battle! How is that even possible? How did you make it in just seven days!
Holy Shiiiiiiiiiit!This game is the most exciting and enjoyable one I've played in this competition. Whether it's the gameplay, visual style, level design, or atmosphere, everything has been taken to the extreme! Even after completing it, I am still very much looking forward to more content from this game.
Love the setting, WW1 armored tank vs zombies? SOLD
Combat is satisfying, shooting the canon feels amazing, good job on the raggdolls too. Main critisism is it feels very long, could definitely use some variety in the second half, or some trimming. Tank vs train was epic!
Good job, I see the potential!
Amazing game, rail shooter in the truest sense :D. The plot is cool. Visually, everything is great. When grenades flew out of the infected cars, it was so unexpected and cool! The final boss tank is so badass. I think you can add recoil to the cannon, it lacks a bit of impact. Amazing work!
Absolutely wild that this was accomplished in 7 days! I loved it as a game, not even just as a jam game! Great atmosphere, great mechanics, fantastic use of positional audio, just all around a lovely experience.
This game is awesome! Super fun, I love the atmosphere and the story. Gameplay was also super engaging and enjoyable. One of my favourites in the jam so far.
I might have a thing for trains in videogames, so I might be a bit biased. But holy moly, this is probably my favorite of all the games submitted in this jam. Please make more of it i want to play more! :)
This is just a really high-quality game with crazy designs and ideas. The oppressive and heavy world creates a really strong atmosphere. It’s great that there are bonuses for destroying houses, but I especially liked the tank boss. At one point, I was expecting a plane boss that would drop zombies X). Great game, easily one of the best!
I loved the setting of this game, I think that WW1 is a great backdrop for horror games. I liked how you incorporated many of the iconic vehicles and weapons of the setting. The difficulty was a little on the easier side but I know that was mainly for the jam. Overall, a really good game.

This was a BLAST to play. Everything about it works very nicely together, my biggest gripes are things that feel like they'd be right-at-home in this game, but are absent, which isn't a mark against the game. I suppose I could say that it isn't a terribly difficult or scary game, but I'm not personally bothered by that, so much. It has a very light and breezy curve, making it easy to play through. I strongly agree with the other commenters that Stations where you can upgrade your train would be very welcome, but that's quite involved, and I think the game really works very well with what is on the plate, as it were. One of the strongest showings I've seen so far this game jam. Keep it up!

I'm really glad you liked it! I definitely leaned more into the easier side for the difficulty since I know people are trying to play as many games as possible. I didn't want them to get stuck at some part and never finish it. I've played a couple games so far that were too hard to finish for my skill level haha
This was SUCH a cool game! I love game where you drive a train. And now I even get to destroy tanks with it, hehe.
For real, amazing job with the gameplay loop and feel! Everything was smooth as butter!
The visuals where great (lighting, textures, animations)
The sound design was great (music, sounds)
The gameplay was fire (mechanics, feel)
Averall just an amazing experience. Great job everyone ^^
Well done for achieving such a result in such a short space of time. You were very efficient! The game is immersive and fun to play. I think the concept has a lot of potential. Further down in the comments it was suggested to make a stop at the station to improve your equipment, I agree! We’d then alternate between a tense phase and a chill phase. I can’t wait to see the updates, congratulations again!
Very impressive work for only 7 days. I see a dev that knows what he/she is doing. Good luck with the development!
great little shooter, crazy you put this together in 7 days given all the polish. the extra turrets felt really good to get, really made me want to keep going. great job overall!
I REALLY LIKED THIS GAME, the gameplay was genuinely so satisfying ! The zombies were creepy af I jumped when I saw the first one running on all fours, it feels like it's difficulty curve is just right to not be too hard but not be too easy ! If I had to say anything about it I think the gui's could be improved upon, I feel like they're a little basic and take away from how great the gameplay is
I'm glad you liked it! And thank you for the feedback! Is there anything in particular that sticks out to you that could be improved about the gui? I feel like you did a great job on the UI elements in your game, so I'm all ears!
I quite liked the box that the text itself was in in terms of it's border, it had that old school fancy vibe that fit the time period, but I felt like the text face you used just read a bit generic and could definitely be more stylized, as well as that I'd get a color palette for your gui assets, preferably something with a limited amount of colors like 3-5, and exclusively use those to help bring it together !! Hope that was helpful
Very much so! Thank you!
One of the best game on the jam so far, I really love it!
Thank you! That really means a lot!
Well polished experience for the short timeframe, had a great time playing!
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. I definitely pushed myself a little too hard near the end to get everything done. I need to take it easier next jam
Pretty cool game. Liked the style of the areas.
