vry KOOL n cute game!

some thoughts:

- ur options menu need some tooltips i have no idea what some of those options do
- those trains r pretty slow, make me wish there was an option 2 speed up game play

- could use a key 2 hide/show level objective

Thanks for playing frien!
-Yeah tooltips are maybe needed, I thought that with so few options one could just slide them around and see.
-Definitively adding the 2x speed in, I don't know why I didn't ever think of that
-Do you mean you'd want an hotkey along with the "?" button?

My videos have suffered a bit recently from the fact that I've been having issues with my sleeping. Alongside that, as I was talking to someone else about recently, I have some struggle with playtesting games that have a lot of time tension. I take my time focusing on little details, and doing analysis, and I expend a lot of brain power just trying to put words to my thoughts, so I can't focus the way I would playing something casually with no recording going on. With all that considered, you'll notice I spent most of my time being destroyed cutely by your game, and simply watching while the world burned around me. It seems seriously hard, but it might go a bit differently if I were playing it casually. I hope you find the video useful, and I apologize for the very tired brain.

It's a shame but I think you maybe misclicked and advanced the tutorial when it was explaining clocks. When they are flashing (ticking) and you click them they delay the trains, otherwise they will start it immediately. I think I might just have two different buttons for it because it's not the first time people got confused. I guess less options != clearer choices. I'll see if I can implement a "back" button to the tutorial or have a quick help button always handy.

Also yeah the game does require quite a bit of concentration, it used to be even faster (lol). I can never tell if the game is too hard or too easy by myself since I have to play it so much and "know" the solutions to the levels because I make them. A second "slowing everything down" pass is in the works already. I do know very well how it feels to be running on low sleep, so no worries.

I like it! It's cute, small and fun. If I were to suggest something it'd be some shading maybe as the flat coloring get's a bit old, and making the controls a bit more reactive.

Also the pixelation is a bit too high, I'd experiment with making it less so. Either way, Good job!

Looks pretty cute! I played the first level but the trains kept exploding when they reached a station. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.

You have to lead trains to a station that is colored like them. I thought it was clear enough in the tutorial but I guess I gotta figure something out.

Liked it alot! lots of potential. Couple of points:

Had trouble switching arrow direction, was clicking, clicking and dragging but nothing happened.

This is probably something you get used to but I really wanted to move the camera by holding the left mouse button and turning, using right button wasnt as natural probably because most other games allow you to use left click.

The pixel shader is nice, but sometimes it was hard seeing stuff, maybe you can use HUDs to signal train directions or take offs more clearly.

Good luck :)

You have to drag to the other arrows, I guess I should change the unselected ones to some other sprite to make it clearer. Definitely should have an option to turn off pixelation too.

Cute, I really liked the music. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to easily change the direction by clicking and dragging when tracks intersected. I also couldn't always tell which station a train was supposed to go to, but that was probably just me missing something.

Red train goes to red station, etc etc. You have to click and drag to another arrow, but I guess it isn't the clearest thing in the world.
Thanks for playing!

The graphics are really cool. I kept getting trains stuck. Not sure how to fix it aside from restarting the level.
