Nice track/train game not sure I got the best time on all the levels - maybe a star system which would have shown you if you have the optimal answer.

Music was fine at first but got a little repetitive so turned it off - thanks for making that easy.

The fact that you had to exit to play the next level was a little strange - understand time constraints but a popup when you win asking: try again/next level/menu would be a nice addition.

Overall again, nice little puzzle game and like have the levels progressed.

Developer

Thanks, all good points, and all things I'd have like to solve given time. I want to go back to this and add some progression tracking, working out the best solution and giving stars, and lots more.

very polished experience, great art, fitting music (although a bit repetitive after 10 levels) and nice puzzles that slowly ramped up in difficulty. I didn't really know how to get to the text level but I just had to press exit,  which is a more old school way iirc. Anyways, nice job

Thanks, glad you liked it. I do plan to have a more traditional progression, with completion of one level allowing you to go directly to the next one. I also plan to put in more useful tutorials, and introduce concepts a little more gently

Another fun game, Indigobeetle!

I've played another one of your games before, Attack-HQ, and was pleasantly surprised by that.

Back to the current jam, I had a ton of fun solving every puzzle.

Awesome points:

  • The programming was well executed and I rarely encountered bugs, with a few of them being very minor.
  • You mentioned that level design was rushed but it didn't feel like that in the advanced stages. The puzzles were fun!
  • The entire package with the visuals and audio fit both the theme ("train") and gameplay perfectly
  • It looks and feels like a solid game. It doesn't feel incomplete nor amateurish

Critiques:

  • One of the bugs was if you pressed "Go!" and exited to a different track, the timer would still run on to the next one.
  • I think the default audio was a bit loud. There is an off button for it but maybe a slider for the audio might work better so I can enjoy the soundtrack without having to turn my computer volume lower.
  • I think that the junction/switch mechanic wasn't as obvious as you had to dig back into the main menu and hit the "?" to see it. I don't think I noticed what was happening when I got stuck on Stage 6 and my first thought was it was time based. Perhaps if it was a little more obvious? Maybe adding the "?" in the game scene itself because there was no way to know while playing stage 6 without exiting the stage which feels a little counterintuitive.

Once I got the hang of the junction/switch mechanic, it turned from a simple puzzle game to something I really had to think about, which was the best part of the game. The latter puzzles with advanced junctions were definitely the star of the show. 

Overall, well done on completing a wonderful game and two thumbs up from me :)

Puzzle 10 was a blast! (Spoiler free)
Developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to give that feedback, much appreciated. I'll note the bugs and suggestions, all good, and make changes when the jam is over. I had planned to have more interactive tutorials as new features such as the junction and switch were introduced, but ran out of time.

It's a nice little puzzle game! I feel like we had very similar ideas for the jam.

Great little puzzle game. The junctions are a nice touch for a little extra challenge. It actually reminds me of a wooden train set I had as a kid! I couldn't figure out level 10 but I'll probably come back to give it another go. Nice job.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, 10 is a bit more challenging, I rushed the level design a bit, I only had a couple of hours left after fighting with the actual game mechanic far longer than I expected.

Nice little puzzle game. I think the levels could have been a little bit more difficult though. As of right now its mostly drawing the lines to connect stations.

Developer

thanks, the levels were a bit last minute, running out of time. Out of curiosity, did you complete level 10?

Submitted(+1)

Yeah I did. It took a few tries as it was one of the harder ones. But I did just skip around on levels. To be honest it wasn't entirely clear that the different pieces were. I didn't even notice one was switching the tracks as I could barely make out the little switch on it. I guess that is what I get for jumping around in the order of puzzles.

Developer

There are rudimentary instructions, accessible from the "?" on the menu page.
