You're Bob, and you have one simple job, keep that section of railway clear of any roaming animals. See, train deliveries are vital and we can't let those train be damaged right ?
So chop chop !

Best played with a gamepad, you can still play on a keyboard (arrows/WASD + i/o/p for abilities)
Done with Godot 3.5, Pyxel Edit and Ableton

Great Job, I love the graphism with the minimalist color palette, it gives a nice mood to the game!

The game feel is smooth and you really feel the heat when the train goes by with the screenshake and all, well done.

Although was a bit frustrated not to have a win screen after I worked for my 1000 points 😄

Another comment: It felt like the "shout" bonus better use was to spam it which makes it not that funny to use.

Really fun game with spot on sound design! One of the better once I've played despite it's simplicity. A good example of a simple idea that's really well executed without trying to be too much. Very well done!

Love the graphics atmosphere and mood! The sfx for the intro talking were some of the best ive seen this jam. Really great concept, fun game! Very hard though

Either I'm doing something wrong or those rabbits are smarter than me! Must try again... Great idea, nicely implemented!

Funny little game, loved how a few pixels of animation still conveyed quite a bit, and i found the death screen attitude quite funny - just get another guy i guess :))

Really cool idea, took me a bit to figure out I could by the abilities at the sign though. The color palette and art style work really well with it. Sound design is really solid too; makes it quite clear when a train is coming.
