I like this one a lot, personally. A very pleasant little experience. I think there's a lot of potential to make this into a unique management sim with those splashes of Overcooked. It's not often you see a game where movement is 1-dimensional, and the way it's done makes for a very interesting dynamic. The UI is also immediately clear, it took almost no time at all to understand what was going on.

It says in your page that you're planning to leave the multiple tools bug in since it makes for an interesting dynamic. I think that's a good headspace, but it does feel like a very strong exploit that you can just grab every tool at the start of the day and no longer need to think about them. I'd leave it, but try to think of a way to balance it so that it's not strictly the best option in every situation.

The fastest move speed was too much for me, personally. I might've preferred a dash button or something.

There's probably a lot of ways to evolve this experience from here. Like tools that can fill multiple meters at a time, tools that require you to be right next to the passenger instead of on the same floor, tools that take longer to fill, tools that fill meters when left on the floor, something like trash that gets dropped occasionally and needs to be disposed of, that sort of thing. If you plan to continue this, my next step would be to see how you can diversify the way the different tools work, and maybe even diversify passenger types. Plate-Up definitely makes for a good reference. I'll be looking out for updates!

The game stands out, it’s really something different!

Cool management sim setup here. That little dude is doing a lot in a very short period of time! I did find out that you can pick up multiple tools at once. Don't know if that was intended but it gave me a funny vision of this guy carrying all of this and sprinting around all the cars. Did make it quite a bit more simple though haha. Some music would have finished this out quite nicely. Either way, good job! It was fun to play.

very old school look!
navigating the train is a bit clunky - i feel like perhaps a jump mechanic would have been a good addition. being able to move around a bit faster might have allowed you to increase the number of passengers needing something.
would have liked a song too to add a bit of flavour and fill out the experience.
overall though, nice work!

Really simple, yet really fun!

Getting to choose which upgrades andthe number of cars made for a great experience in my opinion xD

Thank you for making the game!

Great, this game is an actual ROM! It also fits the aesthetic in my opinion. I had to get used to the gameplay, but once I did, I really enjoyed it!

it REALLY misses sounds and music, the concept is good and the execution is pretty smooth. good entry (:

A train attendant simulator, Nice!

Interesting concept but it had a bit of borkiness to the stairs and wasn't fully sure what to to be doing but still interesting.

That was interesting! A bit undercooked, but competently implemented. It reminds me of the design of Atari 2600 games. 

With the second-to-last car and max open tasks, it's possible to grab all the tools and stand in one spot, servicing people forever. Ironically, getting the last car upgrade made things more difficult!

Good work! Congratulations on the submission!

Interesting game! the stack of tools is an interesting thing, not sure if it’s a bug, but I’d find it hilarious if I had to see a steward doing lots of stuff at the same time on board of a train haha

it could use some music to add with the frenetic moving, and a bit of balancing in the upgrade, but it’s fun nonetheless !

also I’m sorry for the passengers I left unattended, but it’s not my fautl, the company had to bring in more staff XD

I always love an actual Game Boy game, and it was definitely full of GB Soul. I feel like this is a good starting point and could definitely be expanded, but I had fun navigating casual mode. Good job!

Tool stacking is mentioned like a bug, but it could be a feature. Once you walk/run fast enough, it's quite the challenge to stack them. Excellent game, congrats!

First of all, congratulations on getting the game to work on a ROM, which wasn't necessary but adds so much to it. I loved the casual mode! I unlocked everything and the progression feels really good.

pretty impressive to get all this working as a real gb/nes rom (i looked at gbdk and decided to not make a real gb game haha)

Interesting mechanic and I totally see the vision for the 2 player competitive version of this, the jumping around to the different trains is pretty interesting and feels it could be mastered/optimized. I felt like I was cheesing it a bit when I would just go through the train to pick up every tool at once before trying to clear a bunch of points. Maybe something like tools disappearing after a certain number of uses (i do like being able to carry multiple things for what tis worth)?

Also i don't know how intentional this was but once I was really cooking and clearing like 4 riders at once all the SFX for the wheels filling up did kind of sound like a train, which felt appropriate!

I spent a lot of time in casual mode. It was a lot of fun to unlock stuff and get faster and faster at completing tasks. The layout of the cars made it a fun challenge to decide to stay in a car or keep moving on.

I like the minimalistic art style. I would have loved and indicator on the map where the customer are waiting. but overall, good work!
