Ludum Dare #50compo
Stop the Train
Your girlfriend is in danger - she's tied to the tracks and train is slowly approaching!
Good thing is that you're on that train!
Convince train driver with valuable things and try to delay time until the crash.
I'm sure you'll save her. Maybe. I don't know.
This is puzzle game. Ask various people on the train if they have anything to give you, convince them to help and deliver the items to the driver. Time doubles every time you make a deal with him. Hint: There are 5 items that he will like.
There is one ending with two variations, depending if you manage to find all items.
Time stops when you talk to people.
Arrow keys - moving
Z - advancing dialogue, interacting
Programs used: Godot Engine, GIMP

Good game, I love the theme interpretation, wish there was sound.

I like the premise of doubling the time for each item, as well as the humor, but the movement seemed very slow for a player that is supposed to be in a hurry. Also I encountered a crash when talking to "santa" for a second time. Unfortunately I don't have the patience to get the complete ending, but it's cool that it exists.

A non-serious game, been fooled too :)

At first I thought I got pranked and no one did anything on the train, but then I figured out that you can find all of the items. Things went by a little too fast to really figure things out logically, but it was fun talking to everyone and was generally well written.

Hey, I really like the idea and also most of the game itself! However I think some of the dialogues are too long for the amount of time you have. It obviously adds to the stress level but as a person who likes dialogues in games, I would much rather have the time or possibility to enjoy them as well :D

Very fun and strange writing. Game kept crashing/freezing as Satan Claus pulled out an item so i never got to finish it. First time it happened was after i got a few items from him, but on my other attempts it just crashed on the first item.

Reminds me of the old point and click adventure games I played when I was a kid. The only item I could find was the penny. Wasn't sure how long I was supposed to wait to go back for the coffee. I noticed he gets angry if you ask too many times.

Well done, simple but it got me to chuckle.
(Also was there meant to be a whistle blow at 15 seconds? One line seems to allude to that but the game doesn't have sound)
