Excellent game, on all points of view!
The artsyle is especially awesome, both simple and enjoyable - before playing, I didn't think ASCII art could look so cool!

Developer

Thanks!

At first I was ready to skip over this because I'm not USUALLY an idle game fan but I thought to myself "why not."  So I played it and I am absolutely glad I did, the is a perfect little game jam game. 10/10 WILL play again (post jam).

Developer

Hopefully I won’t disappoint then!

Really cool! Love the simple visual aesthetic. Was a little confused at first since the game doesn't tell you much but overall very nice project.

Just like a real terminal ;)

I'm not a large fan of the repeating audio too much not sure if it's just a little bit too high - otherwise a fantastic idle game with a great loop - great work.

Developer

Yeah, it‘s possible to get a train that is randomly pitched a bit too high…

Awesome inremental game, number go up much!

Fun clicker, has a lot of potential for a full game! The sounds did get a little bit much after a bit, so thanks for the mute button 😄

Fun game! Love the art style and the way that the sounds of the trains stopping goes from a nice musical melody to a cacophony very fast. And as with any idle game, watching the number go up is very satisfying, especially on the line graphs.

One small note - "passengers" is spelled wrong in the "train window", i.e. the one at the top right of the screen.

Developer

Thanks for pointing that out! I‘ll try to fix it for post jam after the ratings.

I loved that it started just as a train builder and ended up taking us to space. The way that new goal was introduced subtly just through changes in what we could buy was very clever.

I really like ascii art! I had a blast on the begging of the game with the sound  but after some time became a caos ahah
Fun clicker game :D

This is too addictive!! Took me 12 minutes to reach space. Idk why my train company decided to build an orbital ring, but I sure invested all the money I had in it! Also, the art is amazing.

For some criticism, the sfx were really annoying in my opinion. Thankfully you had good volume control so I could turn down the game while still having a little bit of sound when clickin on buttons and such.

Developer(+1)

Yeah they get very extreme .. the sounds.

Submitted(+1)

Really nice clicker. I'm not sure if it was intentional  but I really liked the sound of the trains stopping at the stations and going around the loop

Submitted(+1)

super addictive and fun to see how it evolved 

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea, the ascii art definitely gives it a unique touch

Submitted(+1)

Such a fun clicker game!! Had a blast playing and the end art was pretty :)

Submitted(+1)

I love how there's no cap so the game spirals into chaos. would love a full release version

Developer

I‘ll try to work on a post jam version! Glad you enjoyed it.
