Short and sweet, a volume slide would be appreciated but nice game regardless

Really nice! The learning curve is super satisfying. At first it's a little tricky to lead your shot based on the enemy movement and the train movement but after the first wave or second wave it starts to click!

Absolutely loved it, just wish it was longer and more developed. Would happily play more of this style. Special kudos for the amazing soundtrack.

Loving the game! This would be super cool with more upgrades, harder enemies, and making it feel like you have a strategy choice. For instance attack power vs economy, or more trains vs upgrading others, etc. But for a jam, I think this is a great result. Good job!

Liked the game, good balancing and this was a great approach to the theme !

Cool game that fits very well the theme. The music is really nice. You could improve this juste by making bullet a liitle bigger. They are hard to see. Thank you for your game

That was some awesome music! It was also the most original tower defense game I've ever played. The gfx were clean and colorful. I didn't really have a problem understanding what I needed to do but I can see how others might. Congrats on finishing and submitting your game!

Awesome music, is it original to the game? The graphics were enjoyable too. The game is a bit short though, I was just getting the hang of it and I won. More waves would be nice, and maybe a random spawn location for the enemies. Well done.

I dont games like this, but interesting concept, i liked music,
good mix of music, i recommend it, for tower defence its cool!

Nice game, great music. I would love to play it with different maps, more enemy and weapons. In future maps you can add obstacles such as tunnels or canyons! Well done :-)

I like trains, I like tower-defense ... I like your game! More levels, more waves would be cool!

I was actually a little sad when it ended - the more turrets I got, the more I wanted to continue.
Very satisfying

You get a good Fun rating for that.

I have apparently won the game 2 times now, but could not read the end message, since I clickspammed the whole time and my mouse was over the restart button when the end message came. If you want to continue this game you could introduce an overheat mechanic or something like that to discourage simply clicking the whole time.

This was a really fun take on the tower defense genre, and I found myself very disappointed that it ended after wave 5! I would have loved if it had carried on forever with increasing mobs / difficulty, though obviously scoping a game like that in a gamejam is tough! Regardless, this was good fun :)

Yay, I love this concept! Brings that old game Transarctica to mind... I've always wanted to have a game about train wars and this is great arcadey take on that theme as well to 'stuck in a loop' theme :slight_smile:

Good soundtrack and animations. Some sound effects would have perfected the audio dimension of this game.

One of most fun entries I've played!

Pretty fun game, nice visuals and audio, a little short though, I would have liked to get to 30+ wagons and absolute insanity ^^
