Love the art and the fever dream quality of this game, great work. I had trouble spotting the anomalies, although I think I got it in the end..maybe..

Submitted

sweet game <3 happy i saved the guy from these spooky trains

Submitted

Everything was good except the things that were anomalies were too obvious

Developer(+1)

some anomalies are harder than others by design!

Submitted

Super cool concept although I feel like it oculd be developed further. Kinda reminds me of the demon phone game where you have to identifiy the ppl belonging to hell vs heaven

Submitted

Really interesting concept! Nice job!

I felt like I was going crazy sometimes looking for an anomaly since they can come at any time. Art was really nice.

Simple, clean, well polished game.
Great job!

Amazing audiovisuals—the pixel art of the train interior looks incredible! Overall, it was a really fun experience.

By the way, I found a little exploit that I didn’t use because I didn’t want to ruin the experience, but just in case you didn’t know: if you zoom in and out of the browser quickly while standing against the wall just before switching trains, you can briefly see whether the next room is red or normal.

I know it’s a pretty niche bug, but hey… that’s just how I play, haha. Great job! :)

Developer

thanks for stress testing! i don't think any of us have encountered that bug so great to know!

Submitted

absolutely love the idea. i feel like more of a horror vibe would fit it much better tho, especially the music.

Developer

maybe we could add another game mode that amps up the horror aspect lol, just so people who aren't too good with horror (like myself tbh) can still enjoy

I struggle to find the 5th anomalies, but probably it's just my device. 

I love how the concept is well executed, and I find the 'lost in train of thought' part witty!

Developer

some anomalies are harder than others! maybe you got a difficult one on your 5th train

Submitted

simple gameplay, but very interesting!

Short and sweet but I really enjoyed this one! It fits the theme well and I loved the pixel art. I think it could be expanded on with longer trains/more anomalies etc. Great work!

Developer

thanks for playing! yess those would be great next steps

Submitted

I like it

Submitted(+1)

Fun concept, looks nice. I like the title, it works really well for the game

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

Very great art, with lots of nice background details! I really like this concept!

An issue i found was text not scaling properly when you are not in fullscreen, I went fullscreen to try and fix it but the game crashed on me!

Overall, fun puzzler. I really liked the art style!

Developer

yeah we noticed text scaling issues on various devices of different screen resolutions. but i don't think we've encountered crashes due to full screen... we'll look into it, thanks!

Game has really got art. Differents layouts of wagons really confused me because it was harder to find anomalies. Most of the times i was going forward until i found an obvious one. Still it was a fun experience!

Obviously inspired by Exit 8 but great implementation

The overall vibe of your game is great!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing! played and rated yours too

Submitted(+1)

Really great artstyle. Felt like 2d Shinkansen 0. Really good.

Submitted(+1)

Really nice art. I'll frame this on a wall if I can.

It's a shame I couldn't really figure out what's off and get past the first level.

Developer(+1)

thanks! try reading the notes in the description on the itch page, maybe that will help
