I've used the web version, and I'm not sure if this is intended, but the right side of the playfield is extremely bright, and you need to be pretty much pixel perfect to "connect" a piece, with one piece where I wasn't able to connect it (where it locks). The music also doesn't loop and should in my opinion be a bit calmer for such a game. I didn't manage to build a closed loop so I'm unsure if there's anything else that happens.
Has potential to be a cozy game where you build your own wooden rail tracks and decorate it with things though, so keep on going! Everyone's first game starts somewhere (for me too).

Firstly, thanks for trying it out, and commenting. It's a miracle that it works at all on t'web; that's the first time I've attempted such a feat. Odd about the music, as it loops perfectly well in the Windows version. As for being not calm enough... Did you mean that it's too loud, or too intrusive..? It's part of an orchestral suite that I composed, using Vst instruments and Reaper. I could change it, of course, but I chose it precisely for its calming, almost soporific, nature..! How wrong can one be, eh..?
The graphic glare is different, too, from the Godot source and Windows version; I could tone it down, now that I know how to create different versions (this is all new to me, but it's a Good Thing to learn new tricks...). As for the imprecision when placing the pieces: I had intended to have a sort of magnetic 'snap' effect, but didn't manage to get that far before the deadline came up, so, with apologies, it's a bit 'warts'n'all' as it is. It should, effectively, become a complete layout, on which a Wooden Train can run, with maybe a Wooden Station and some Wooden Trees. Too late for this Game Jam, of course, but I shall continue to learn how to make it a bit less rustic, a bit more polished. How soon could that happen..? Not a Good Idea to hold one's breath, I'm afraid, but I'll try.
Thanks again; meanwhile...
Have a wonderful day.
I've found out how to get the music to loop (every day is a school day..!), and also why one has to reduce the lighting for web versions. It should improve greatly the experience. For th joining up the tracks : that's for another day, I'm afraid. Frankly, I'm glad that it works at all..! Thanks again for the helpful remarks.
