Track Switching


The automatic track switching broke down! Work the switches manually to delay the inevitable train crash.

Trains wil travel from the right to the left side. They will be announced together with the required destination track some seconds before their appearance. The coloring of every train matches the coloring of its desired destination track. Set the switches correctly to guide all trains to their correct destination without causing any crashes.

You earn points for every train that reaches its correct destination on the left side and loose points for every train, that does not reach its correct destination. If any trains crash, it is game over.

Controls


Use the corresponding number keys, e.g. on the numpad, or click (or touch) the track switches to change their direction. Use the spacebar or the enter key to reset all track switches.

About


This was my first Ludum Dare ever and it was a wonderful experience. Thanks everyone for this event! I'm happy with the game i produced, although i'm now to tired to add any sound or music. Maybe next time.

I used TypeScript and PixiJS for programming and GIMP for the graphics.

The game has a fixed-size of 1920x900px. Hence a sufficently large screen, e.g. a full-hd screen, is required. You can zoom out to better display the game on smaller screens.
