Besides the little problem with the lever that switches paths, I actually had a great time with this. I wasn't sure if I had to kill everyone or not, but THAT PRECISELY THE TROLLEY PROBLEM. xD

We played it here in this stream, if you want to watch it! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/682566280

I like the idea,
its fun do redirect the train and watch the consequences

Just the switching feels a bit unresposive,
Sometimes I need to click more often and sometimes it triggers but I didn't notice right away
becaues the lever is a bit slow

Maybe have a little sound feedback or a quick visual indication

Sound is great, background music seems to get a bit annoying after some time
some variety might help, or a mute bg music butten

All in all a fun little game and an interresting take on the jam

i have to adjust the collisions on the tiles to make the switching more responsible and add a soundeffect, okay hehe thanks for playing this game and helping us improve :) i hope everything that bothered to you would be fixed in the next update hehe.

Ha, well that got dark fast but it was still fun. I do wish it was easier to change tracks though, I had to click so fast to get to the end

I really liked this game's concept, a nice way to combine the theme with a classic thought experiment/meme. I liked the art style of the game, and the audio was nicely used! Nice job! :D

in the name of both devs, we are very happy to hear those kind words sprites(not UI) and music were all made by us, so we're very proud hehehe

I like how you took the out of control theme so literally. Literally had no control over the train but the death of eye patch lady is going to weigh on my concious

Cool and nice idea. I think it would make more sense, since it's about the moral dilemma, if you had to kill someone in any case and you had to choose who, and if the game tracked how you took the choices (let the trolley go or change direction). Good game though

yeah, unfortunately unity crashed 2 times while jamming and erased some progress, so due to the lack of time we could only do some kind of tutorial, but... We'll be working further on the game hehe, thanks :)

Really cool seeing this in a game. I did find that if you let the trolley go down at the beginning, the game will sorta just sit there and not let you do anything. Other than that though, its has a really nice presentation.

yes, that's a bug haha, i'll upload a new version once the voting starts, but if you press quit, the train will go down and quit the game, thanks for playing :)

Really cool and fun game, I did find sometimes if you click the lever it won't do it even when the track is clear of the trolley on the parts that change. Overall it was enjoyable!

oh really?! i'll have to check the tracks hitboxes, maybe they're too big. since they try to prevent changes while the trolley is on top, thanks for letting me know hehe
