Very cool and tight little game loop!  Immediately started to see risk-reward with fuel, expanding gameplay over time, some fun balance.  I laughed hysterically the first time my own train shot or ran over me, too.  Could easily see this being a fun bullethell - I wonder if you could expand this by having the trains follow routes you can place or expand the route of, having some upgrades me new rail tracks that upgrade the train temporarily as buffs when ridden over; or maybe you could hop on and off the train to get around too.  Nicely done!

Developer

Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed it! I also can see this be explained to a pretty fun bullethell game.

This is the game I enjoyed the most while playing out of 40 ish. It a generic tower defense with a twist to fit the theme. I like it.

Found it a bit annoying that I died mostly from my trains and not the enemies.

Developer

Thank you!! Yea the train projectiles are you most enemy lol

I like the implementation of the theme, it's quite enjoyable. The upgrade cards feel balanced for a 4 day game. Good job !

Wow, quite challenging! You've done something super cool - taken two different game concepts and mashed them into one game that is intuitive, logical, and quite fun to play!

When I wasn't dying every 2 seconds, I really enjoyed the polished graphics, animations, and effects. The game is presented really well, and the trains going around the looop fits the theme in a very literal - and creative - way.

I found it pretty difficult keeping the trains fueled, and it seemed that my character had an addiction to endlessly dying and respawning... maybe that is the true loop!

Jokes aside, super fun to play and a really charming submission. I like the direction you took with this game, as well as your profound sense of creativity! 😄

Developer

Great example of game design! I really liked the balancing act of collecting fuel and dealing with far enemies while coming back to keep the trains running. I reached wave 15. Well done! 

Developer

This was fun!  I liked the art and music and enjoyed vibin in the game loop.  Unfortunately I did crash around level 5, to be fair my laptop specs are pretty poor so could be on me but I thought I'd give you a heads up!

Developer

oh man; sorry it crashed, thanks for giving it a shot!
