I liked the sound effects (the “chuh-chuh-chuh” ones) and the collisions 🙂
Also really nice that the game runs directly in the browser on the page!
Last year I played a game called Train Valley 2 that was going for a similar routing idea, but the signalling was in real-time, not in advance. I would argue your approach places it firmly in puzzle game territory, while the other is a bit more chaotic (might be fun to check out anyways for some inspiration).
Well done!
I had difficulties to understand how signs worked sometimes, but it's a really good take on the theme, good job! :clap:
This may just be me, but I think this would be great with some extremely complicated levels. I can imagine the difficultly spiking exponentially the more trains and crossovers the tracks have.
