Thanks for playing! We had a couple of different designs for the rails in mind, but eventually settled on those classic wooden tracks for maximum nostalgia. Very gratifying to know that element worked for you, thanks for commenting!

Thank-you so much for breaking down exactly what we were going for, this was a really fantastic comment to receive

We’d have loved to increase the contrast between the goals even more, but you totally nailed it: we wanted all the things you care about in the kid scale (making curved tracks that veer close to obstacles) to be antithetical to the things you care about as an adult (an efficient railway system that gets passengers to destinations as quickly as possible).

So, so glad that landed for you. Thank you for playing, and we very much appreciate your thoughtful analysis!

Thank-you for playing! Glad it gives off those chill vibes for you 😁

It's fantastic to hear you had such a good time with it. With a little more time we'd definitely have liked to make it truly infinite, but we're just glad people are actually making it to the win condition. Thank-you for letting us know you got there, and thanks so much for playing!

Thank-you so much for playing! And thanks for the feedback on the audio, completely agree. Last year we ended up with audio that was too loud so I think we over-corrected a bit for this time around. So an improvement I guess, but still not perfect.

Thanks again, will make sure to check the LUFS next time 😁

Yay! I also found another train game. Glad you enjoyed the style, thanks for playing and for the feedback. We originally couldn't decide whether we wanted to build a factory game or a train game so it's fun that you combined the two.

Thank-you so much, that's great to hear. And thank you for playing!

Thank-you for playing! Very glad to hear that aspect of the game worked as intended!

Thanks so much for playing! Communication of the 'coolness' system was something we could have improved on, I agree. Initial concepts involved areas of the ground glowing a different colour to indicate levels of 'cool', and displaying multipliers on different track pieces as the player is placing them. Thanks for the feedback: maybe we can improve this in a post-jam version.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, we wanted to really emphasise the scale change with colours, style, and UI differences. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank-you very much for playing! Glad to hear you enjoyed the cool points - we settled on that metric pretty early on as the most sensible way to gauge success when playing as a child. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for playing! Very much enjoyed your game also, despite letting down so many penguins.

Thank-you, so glad you enjoyed playing our game!

Thank-you so much for playing, and for your very kind words! We spent so long on the train mechanics that balancing was something we ended up not having a lot of time for. Next time I think we'll try to keep better control of the scope (although I think I said something similar last year..). Anyway, your comment was very much appreciated, so thank you.

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! I planned to implement a little tutorial that would appear in either mode and let you know that one of your stations was in danger of overcrowding, but didn’t have time in the end.

Thank-you for playing! All credit goes to our audio designer for that detail - originally, the contrast was more dramatic, but the adult one was a little too oppressive so it was changed mid-jam.

Thank-you! Very much appreciated the additional time this year, although somehow the development very nearly overran anyway..

Thank-you for playing! Glad the pressure of managing your own railway network based on a toy model wasn't too stressful :D

Thank-you! The tutorial came together in the final day, but without it I suspect people would have been very lost. Thanks for playing!

Thank-you! That's extremely generous!
