The retro style is nice, and the idea itself is interesting. There are some rough edges in terms of bugs but I guess I can forgive that since it is gamejam.

Dungeon Smiththis is a very fun idea omg
an endless runner where you have to build the level so the train doesnt die? Genius!
I found myself continuously going so i could get the train as far as i could, it was a really good experience, even if i did encounter a few bugs. Very exciting! Id love to see this ironed out!

Death Trap HeroI was VERY happy with the concept haha, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
The small thing I was really happy with was points being gained not by distance, but by the amount of tracks crossed. So unnecessarily long, roundabout tracks will increase your score more than just straight lines avoiding obstacles, which adds complexity and risk since loops and diversions are more likely to be in the path of said obstacles.
Going to try and polish it up a bit this weekend, thank you for giving it a go!
The train-hitch glitches are quite rough but the concept is interesting and I’ll definitely give this game more of a play once a patched post-jam version is out. The minimalistic art style is also quite cool. Good work and good luck squashing those bugs!
On an unrelated note I suddenly have the itch to watch the Wallace & Gromit films.

Plight of a Green TriangleElephant in the room. The glitches are rough, glitches are going to be common but these do get in the way. However, this is a cool concept and I was having fun when the glitches weren't affecting it too much. Here's some suggestions if you want to expand this further: randomized tracks instead of selecting them (so you get a preview of your next track but that each next track is random so you have to deal with what you have, starting further to the right, and finally have the train stop when there's no track in front of it. Overall, I think this is a great concept.

RotetrominoThank you! I was really fighting this one right up to the last second, definitely agree on the train stopping on the tracks instead of 1 tile past them and the general glitchyness. I'll see if I can test out randomized tracks, it's not something I'd considered initially and I can see how it'd shake things up.
It's a pretty fun game with clean artwork and I love that it's inspired by Wallace and Gromit. Unfortunately, the glitches do hold it back quite a bit.
