the look is very polished, animations, the arm, the parallax effect, 
and systems like buying upgrades.
10/10!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the streaming! I'm surprised that you were able to beat the levels without figuring out that you could deactivate the gates by throwing obstacles through it. Look like brute force for the win. :D

Nice game! Idk if this happens but wish you could also get compensation for taking extra passengers on top (while not safe, could be an achievement "reckless")

Developer

Yeah, I though about that too. Also, about getting some rewards for stacking containers. Maybe next time. :)

Super fun idea!!! and well made. Love the art, I have always wanted to use the cyberpunk art for something :)

Developer

Thank you! Same for me, so I finally did. :D

Clever application of the theme. Flinging obstacles through gates was very satisfying :)

Developer(+1)

Yes, that was the main idea. Somehow it's a primal instinct of human beings to throw things around because it's inhently fun. If I had more experience in it, I was surely made everything breakable too. 

Glad you enjoyed the game!

i think you nailed this jam with TRL as all boxes are checked and the game plays so well. very nice work!

Developer

Thank you, we really tried to focus on all points.

It's very nice and fun, though I have to play a couple of times to figure out what exactly to do. First I didnt realize that the passengers should be put inside the train through the door so I put them along with the obstacles^^ Probably you can add passengers from windows or rooftop of buildings also to  add variation and challenge.

Developer

Ooooh. that's a very good idea. I don't why I did't think about that. :D

Super fun, good job! Very intuitive controls and the game feels really polished :) 

I like that you can place stuff on top of your train! Always bring your purple laser absorbing shipping container on a train ride hehe

Developer

Exactly! Nice catch! I was even thinking about making it a hidden achievement to stack 5 or more containers on each other. :D
Thanks for playing!
