Oh I love this! It's completely nonsensical but it's great, it gave me a good chuckle. Something about the way those chickens are just standing there T-posing, the quiet little noises they make, the random massive ones and lines like 'the train has crashed you can tell by the animation.'
Game jams need games like this, it really puts a smile on your face.

Genre HopperI just rated your nice game! Thank you very much for watching the stream yesterday!
I would appreciate it if you could check out my game too!

Stupid BobQuite possibly the weirdest implementation of "you can't stop moving". When the game started and I saw the first chicken on the track I almost spat out out my coffee. Well implemented and decent shooter on rails, if midly insane in the "story" department :D Excellent fun with the theme :)

CottonwoodThat was certainly quite the experience to play through. It was a strange concept, but in a good way! So many times, I ended up just staring down a mega chicken because I was too busy reloading to be able to actually get rid of it. The visuals of the game are pretty dang nice, the sound design was pretty good, overall just a neat game! Nice work!

Connection LostIt's indeed not easy to cooperate as such a large team. Good job!

Keypad Out of ControlDude that was fun!! I love the thrilling feeling of not being in control of the movement of the train, and yet you know where you're going next. It's the feeling of the inevitable, yet you're still in control of movement and firing, and which shot goes where. THIS is how the theme was meant to be: out of control yet still fair!
I love the music, props to your sound designers and composers! The music is fitting and hilarious, and perfectly matches the gameplay.
I really enjoyed shooting down T-posing chickens. I asserted my dominance over them. The art style is pretty good too, I like the simplistic shaders. I guess the environment could use some more details but then again, only 48 hours ;)
I liked the gameplay, and there was quite a bit of challenge! Again, it's a challenge not being in control of the train's movement, but giving the player individual movement makes it feel fair. Most of the games in this jam have nowhere to go next, making really dead-end games, but this could definitely go far post-jam, especially with the amount of talented people working on it :) I could easily see this being a multiplayer game as well, with some people defending the rear of the train, etc.
And finally good work to management! I'm a solo dev and I can't imagine trying to come up with a cohesive idea among 11 people in 48 hours. That's impressive in and of itself, and I think your team could make some outstanding adjustments to this in the future.
Good work to your whole team! Is it your first game jam for any of you? It's my first one so I figured I'd ask :)
...and also if you could check out my game I would be super happy :P

Pie on the FlyI kinda expected a bit more when I saw that 11 people were involved !

Random Playing GameLarge teams are a blessing and a curse, it's easier to make content but it's also harder to manage and sometimes problems (particularly coding) arise when compared to a smaller team, which is usually manageable when there's no time limit, but in the context of a game jam it could also become a huge mess.
Thanks for playing our game!
I can't play your game sorry because I have Oculus software installed. UE4 forces my oculus software to open and crashes when I press play.

Diminishing ReturnsGreat game! The graphics are pretty good! But I thought the game was a little too heavy. I was downloading the game for 10 min. But the idea is pretty good. Overall a great game! It makes me go YES!

Teacher SimulatorMy sad little laptop couldn't run the game at a frame-rate above 1FPS, but it looks fun.

Ballue's Gravity GrindFound this from the google doc:
Great job this was fun it took me three tries before I figured out I shouldn't be as careful w my shots as I have been being.
Loved the joke on the death screen and the play on words at the end well done.
The hit markers was a great touch btw.
