Really great entry to the Jam. The whole mood to game was very immersive and I wanted to keep playing to find out what happens. The mechanics I felt were fairly easy to understand and didn't take me too long to work out was going.
One of the best things about this game in my opinion is the balance. Each time my train was almost grinding to a halt and I just managed to keep her going, I was physically cheering. The only thing I am sad about (not docking marks) is that this wasn't a longer experience. I would love to see this with a more levelled progression with the introduction of new wagons which behave differently with the dice and make you have to rethink how you manage them. But as for a Jam experience this was the perfect format.
Great work.
The best I've played so far. Well done!
Very nice concept!
Wow. The presentation is phenomenal!
Didn't get far with it as I couldn't figure out what to do with the dice. Kinda feel like you guys made this game work with the dice mechanics, but you could switch those out with something else and have a far better game for it.
very immersive! I like your approach to the theme
too bad I am terrible at it hehe
This was a really interesting game! I had a lot of fun! The comments in the middle of each sort of "level" to give progression was really cool! Good stuff!
Fun game with an interesting idea.
Fantastic aesthetic, and I love the world setup. Gameplay is a little simple and I eventually just stopped playing after getting my fill.
I played this game for a while and I really enjoyed it... After some time I managed to survive longer and I thought how does the story continue? Is there a way of finishing the game or is this endless? anyway... it is a fun game and I especially like the calming background music!
Very interesting and enjoyable gameplay, the increase and the split mechanic without the decrease is really clever. The combination of pleasing colors, calm but tragic music and little snippets of the story and world building make this a truly artful game.
Great and engaging design. All the options are neat to get the right dice, really well done
Wow, amazing game. Simple graphics and gameplay but it's also challenging to find the right dices fast. Good job!
Really amazing game design, I played the game all the way to the end. The gameplay was fast-paced and I was engaged the entire time; it really is a work of art. The visuals were also super well done. My only critique is that I thought only the red dice could be fed into the furnaces because of the colors, so maybe making them a little more different would be better. Overall a really great submission!
I believe this is one of the best-designed games I have played in the Jam so far.
Wonderful theming, interesting mechanics, overall really well done. Would have liked the gameplay to get mixed up as it went long, but it is a jam and you can only do so much.
Amazing!
not sure if it's beatable as i got to "one more day" but wow this game is gorgeous
i love how well thought out the mechanics are, great sound design as well.
could use with a bit more help or a tutorial at the beginning tho
Incredible presentation! With a simple premise, easy controls and captivating gameplay. Could not ask for more. This is amazing.
Loved the art and music, solid gameplay!
