Cool little game. I like how over time the lamp consumes more and more oil, and the continuously changing level means that you need to pick where to go carefully, which I also like. Sounds and visuals were also neat.

Nice job!

Oh its fun! I'm sure this would be really fun with your friends. The menu was kind of hard to navigate to since you didn't mention we have to press Space to get to the number of player selection screen but other than that, amazing.

I think this game had a very unique premise. The graphics and music were a perfect fit for this game. I think the game play with this game was pretty good but the game did feel a little to easy.

I only played it alone and it was not really fun that way as there was no competition. I am sure it plays better with multiple people. The Graphics, Audio and the general mood was great though.

This was cute! Dashing between the moving trains like that is an interesting mechanic I don't think I've seen before. Creates a very frantic feeling!

I like it! Nice simple concept that's executed quite well. I reckon some soft sound effects for the trains in the background would bolstered the mood a good deal.

Sweet and adorable, I sure it's fun to play with 3 other people.

Nice game, fun and good use of the theme. Liked it alone , but better with more players (i played with one more person too)

Nice art and cool music. The game is not very interesting for a single player.

What a fun little concept; jumping from train to train when the doors are matching is just genius mechanically! I bet this must be pure fun chaos in multiplayer. Great job!
