Your character must change based on the environment. In our game the player's train is comprised of cars that are collected by finding scrap around a wasteland.

Lovely presentation, the game was enjoyable, would have been better if things were as bullet-hell in the beginning. Also one crucial aspect missing is visual feedback upon enemy damage, I had no idea if the bullets I was firing on enemies were connecting or not.

I wish I could give this game a 6 out of 5 for presentation. It felt super polished from the very moment I launched it. The animations, transitions, audio and attention to detail were absolutely top-notch.

The gameplay was pretty good too, though, the upgrades didn't feel too impactful, enemy variety and scaling throughout stages was quite underwhelming. And I have a few issues with weapon balance - it feels like the railgun is the only viable starting option, others deal next to no damage and/or hard to control. 
The settings menu didn't save the volume settings for some reason - though they still worked, so it wasn't an issue really

Good job!

Great job! My biggest non-complaint complaint is that I had to switch to my windows computer to play this.

Really nice work. I’m looking forward to what you make next!

That was pretty fun, and it's great to see that different cars you collected have different abilities and weapons. The seamless transitions between level is also very smooth~
