The King's watching the train, cool game !

Submitted(+1)

I played this for well over an hour.  Great game, I probably should have sped it up but I liked the basic pace.  Love the name and weapon visual.  I want more levels and more crystals, I need to keep building!  I was hoping to survive long enough to max out the trains and find out what happens but I didn't quite get there, dangit, so close.  Might come back and play again after the jam even!

I really loved this, great work and it looks fantastic. Not much in the way of constructive criticism, it's super well made. My only let down was the audio feedback was pretty much nonexistent which made it feel a bit sparse. A bit more animation on player input would nice in fact, some subtle screenshakes etc. 

Really fantastic stuff though, well done!

Developer(+1)

Agreed! I wanted to add some SFX as I agree it grounds player interactions a lot more, but sadly didn’t have any time left :(

Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Indeed similar to the king is watching, but the train part is quite unique. the number of wave is a bit too much to cover both sides, the late stage with longer trains will do fine, but early stage trains are a bit slow, having a speed ugrade would be better imo

Really nice game, wish there was more done with the tiles though. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Any particular ideas you had in mind for doing more with the tiles?

I was thinking of adding more tile types, but the existing tiles I was pretty satisfied with for the most part other than tweaking their appearance more.

Submitted(+1)

Maybe some tiles that interact with neighbouring tiles? Like one that increases the amount of resources gained, or like one which upgrades walls, i found late game that you really only need to use half the map to fill the tracks. Also would be nice to be able to move the permament buildings. But your game is very well polished!

Developer

Ya I like the idea of a tile that effects neighboring tiles. Adds another layer of puzzle in combination with the selector movement.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words!

Very nice game, I loved the visuals! I really missed some kind of UI for the walls health

Developer

Ya, agreed the wall health isnt that prominent. It is actually just to the right of the wave indicator at the top bar, but it isn’t super obvious since it isn’t labeled in any way.

Thanks for the feedback and playing!

This is a really well put together game. I really enjoyed the gameplay and the visuals were great, although I feel like there could have been more viusal feedback for certain things.

Really good submission.

Very satisfying, spend some good time there and waiting for full release soon (right?). Ngl at some point i thought enemies wont be getting stronger and just chilled for a bit too much hehe. One thing my adhd ass would like is ability to be able check what building does when its already placed. I sometimes placed a tile before reading, to the point i learnt what the building eating 10 wood is doing after nearly half of my try :D.

Nice tower defense game. I need to play more to better understand the mechanics, but there is some meat on those bone. I will get back to this in my free time. I should probably try The King is Watching

Submitted(+1)

Love how unique the gameplay feels. Might be mildly addicted, so I'll definitely be playing again

Submitted(+1)

The game is fun and shows a lot of content and potential. It’s a nice adaptation of The King Is Watching with a train twist ( maybe a bit too similar for my taste, though). Great game! 

Submitted(+1)

Such a complete game! Really impressive. I would love to see this turn into a bigger idea, I think it has lots of potential.

I am a machine that converts metal into blood

Very Cool Game! Good job!

This NEEDS to be a full fleshed out game. So much fun. Great concept, I will be back to play this game for sure!

Developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! There are definitely a few things I would like to continue to polish!

Submitted(+1)

I had a lot of fun with this one! It took me a few tries to figure it out, but I was able to get a decent score: 

Developer

Wow, awesome score. Better than I was able to do!

Thanks for playing.

Submitted(+1)

Nice! I really didn't know what I was supposed to be doing at first, but I just kinda ripped it and played around with it. I will say that this game is absolutely gorgeous, though. Well done!

Developer

Ya, ideally I wanted to add a tutorial to more gently introduce the game to the player, but unfortunately just didn’t have enough time to do it on top of the code/art.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Such a great idea and solid execution! It’s a well-made game that’s genuinely fun to play. And the fact that the art was done during the jam makes it even more impressive. Everything feels really cohesive. Thanks for your work!

Submitted(+1)
