Nice little game! I like the simple art of the wagons since its moving so fast and they are colored pretty bright so its easy to see them sadly I had the train all the way on the left side of the screen because of the speed so I couldn't see what hype train I had built. Maybe something fun would have been like a mini train in the top of the screen so you can see it growing bigger bit by bit

Nice job! It was quite dizzying, but it was fun to play. I got a score of 7825! I liked the little notes at the bottom, although I didn't have too much time to read them. I also really liked the menu music. 😄

Trains and BanditsFunny game ! Feature creep haha.
At the end it goes very fast but it's still readable, congrats on that ! The feeling of speed is what makes a simple game like this fun. (Also, the gamedev jokes are always welcome after a gamejam lol)
Design-Wise, I always wonder why allow full 2D movement when 1 dimension is the only thing that's needed ? If there was trains or bonuses coming in from top to bottom sometimes it could incentivise you to take risks and advance to the right of the screen !

Blooter Upon RailsFair point! In my case I wanted to leave some freedom to the player, the game is already very simple, so by letting the player figuring out to stay back it's part of the game-play, even if it's a very simple consequence, it's still a choice. I was thinking of adding wagons coming from above and below but I felt it was getting too crowded, maybe I could add it as a nightmare mode post-jam? Thank you for playing my tiny bideogame!
