Very nice work on this.  I thought it was funny when I skipped the snail, and to my surprise it was waiting at the next stop!  Fast little guy, doesn't even need the tram.  This was fun

The definition of a cozy game. Had a ton of fun talking to my passengers and forcing them to miss their stops. Loved the small details like the whistle and the wipers - what an experience!

Had a hard time operating the levers.  Horn seemed to consistently work, but the door and speed were spotty.  Wipers worked once for me.

Based on another comment, it sounds like those levers might be locked at certain times?  Would be nice if a prompt came up to let you know

Having said that...driving a train is always fun.  (Would like to have seen some more momentum to the train...but that might have made it way too hard to line up with the stops, so maybe I'm wrong here).  Visuals are nice and simple.  If you tried too hard on the 3D, the hand-drawn would have looked really out of place.  So nice balance you did there

nice concept and lovely artstyle. though the lever for speed broke when i played it... I was like a meter before the customer and it wouldn't move anymore..

The speed lever locks when you are at a stop, So if you open the door the NPC should get on the tram and you can leave again.

Interesting concept and very cozy, but control are kind of hard !

Nice cozy game, the characters where cute and the vibe pretty chill. I love the 2d 3d mix but there were like 3 artstyle. I think that is a little bit too much but it looks good. Did I say I love the idea? I love the idea xD

Super charming game!

Great character design, dialogue and music.

I love how all the game controls are diegetic!

My tiny nitpick would be locking the camera while the player is interacting with levers, and changing the speed lever models shading from flat to smooth!

Awesome cozy entry!

Very chill game! It was quite fun just controlling the train, listening to the character's stories and pulling the horn lever frequently x)

You did a good job at giving each character a unique feel to them!

The only thing that bugged me a bit was the camera sometimes moving when I actually wanted to pull the levers. But other than that great game
