I found this, not even knowing it was yours! Definitely a standout with a lot of appeal.

Pretty good, needs more locomotives and the cactus could use some glochids I wasn't really convinced that it could be a real cactus.

This is a cool little game with a lot of charm! The art, music, and story were all well done and came together really nicely. I liked all the detail - I thought the flashing lights around the poster in the opening scene was a nice touch, for example.

I caught the train four times to see if there might be a different love waiting for me if I did better - but then as an afterthought I let myself fail and I was happy I did!

Great job and good use of the theme.

That was funny, I like the theater look you went with. Game was very solid if little easy, managed to reach the end almost right away.

Great music and graphics ! Making it longer would probably be a bit boring if the gameplay would have stayed the same so I didn't find it too short in the end.

Haha, beautiful and fun to play to, loved it! Reminded me of the train chasing part in north and south. Great Gfx and style!
