Super funny game, I enjoyed it really. The Western theme gives good vibes Control to pick up was a bit unclear at the beginning though. Great looking sprites, effects, music Missed the sacrifed part in a way it adds really something besides just dropping the the whole trail Overal still one of the best games in this jam and seems like something to build on. :)

I would love a more indepth/polished version of this.

The the art and game feel was incredible and the theme was spot on. Unfortunately when fire is left unattended the game becomes unplayable with an increasing number of fire instances being spawned. Overall we enjoyed the game and concept.

The game is very well thought out! The music and pixel art is very appealing and goes well with the overall feel. It has a nice color palette. I like the animation for the characters and throwing mechanic. Maybe add a different type of bandit or perilous item to increase difficulty.

Stunning game, the pixelart is awesome, and the music is really appropriate.

I liked the idea, even though I think some things could've been changed, like the way the fire and bandits on fire works. In general I think that there shouldn't be unavoidable damage in games, so when I see that some bandits can put the train on fire without even coming down from the roof I can't help but think that the game is broken.

I really liked the way the players selects the difficulty before starting the run, and you implemented it so smoothly aswell.

Really fun game! I included it in my GM48: Sacrifice compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/WwCrESwX77E

Visuals and audio a reaaaally good, but I just can't like this game. I tried but I find it kinda unplayable.

On my first game, I could always launch bandits off the train betweed the first car and the locomotive, but since it only happend 2 or 3 times. I don't know if it's a bug or what, but that's really confusing, esp considering the fact that bandits can throw passengers off from anywhere.

Cargo is basically useless because it takes so much time to lift, if you want to use it against fire, your FPS are going DOWN. Fire is also always spaning in the front, so if you have more than 2 cars and you're in the back throwing bandints, you're f'ed.

Passengers also don't spawn in old wagons ? Are we supposed to ditch them between rounds ?

I had a guy in fire staying on the roof of the train too once.

And finally, the ultimate play seems to be : getting rid of old wagons and only taking one first class each round.. :(

Interesting concept. Killing the bandits seemed to be a little too difficult by throwing passengers. Then I figured out that you can throw them off the back of the train. After about two stops, there was so much fire that it caused the game to slow down and it was no longer playable. Maybe reset the fire after each stop. I kept wanting to press Esc to exit the shop menu, which quit the game.

Sound design on point. As was... everything else.

Very polished effort. The art was amazing and the soundtrack was very immersive. Loved the sound effects of both the picking up, the throwing and the screams. Especially the screams. The gameplay was fun and humorous, although it was much easier to just defend one car as it got extremely hectic with two or more. There is no end goal as well, but thats fine with the effort over 48 hours. Unfortunately you can throw some of the passengers into the red train and get them stuck forever inside the "furnace" or whatever platform. I don't know if they pay or not for the ride. As well, pulling pins sometimes just makes you fall into the abyss and you have to restart the ENTIRE game, which is mildly annoying to hair-pulling frustrating at times. I hope this game gets finished as it has tons of replay value, and we laughed a lot playing it. Hopefully multiplayer (fingers crossed)

Can't wait to see whats next! Love it!

Very polished game.
The fire thing came up too early for me :( and actually I really didn't get it, nothing was destroyed, the fire just kept spreading until I couldn't see anything and the framerate dropped a lot
Other than that, I really liked the game idea and the sound and art are great!

Very impressive considering the time constraints! Seriously, the art, sound, mechanics, and polish of this game are admirable! Only issue I had was I wasn't sure about the consistency of the power of my throw. It seemed that sometimes the person I threw would barely go far at all, other times they would fly off the train. I got the feeling it had something to do with how far I moved whilst holding them? Maybe I just didn't understand that very well! Great job!

This feels super polished, especially for being made in such a short time. The graphics are fantastic, the music is great, and I love the sound effects when people get thrown off the train. There's some great details such as how the music gets quieter when you walk outside.

The core mechanics are interesting, but the game really feels like it's missing a bit of balance and some sort of goal or progression. The best strategy seems to be to stick with one car and just throw bandits off the end. The only thing to do in the game is to get money to buy cars... to get more money to buy cars. However, I can certainly see this game having a lot of potential if it were explored further.

I loved this game! From music, voice acting and sound effects, to gameplay, art and mechanics, this surely is a great candidate to the Top 3 of this Game Jam. I only wished that the mechanic explanation in-game were more straightforward, answering questions as "why should I throw the passengers at the bandits?" or "why should I buy more cargo?".

Your style reminded me of a consolidated game and it's impressive how you and your team achieved that in only 48 hours. Congratulations!

Well, pretty nice graphics and sounds! The game feels nice and cool! I like how you travel and like the sacrifice system of using the passengers. however, it felt more like a game of "i'll take a bandit and throw it away" because there is not real advantage of killing a passenger. Also, once you get enough money to get all the cars you want... You basically run out of things to do. Too bad, kinda lacked a goal there :/ Also the cargo luggage is kind of pointless cause it's way too heavy to carry so you're better off throwing bandits away again.

Aside that, pretty impressive!

Hey this is great! Very nice use of the theme. That train looks super nice as well!

Awesome! I really like the mechanic of passengers as weapons. Feels like there is a lot of polish here for a 48 hour game.

This is such a great idea and it was fun to throw bandits off the train to hear them cry in terror! I enjoyed playing and I think the sounds and art were top notch. Nice work!

The only bug I ran into happened when I pulled the main train car pin while it was on fire and I became trapped in the train car's hit box. Movement then worked left and right within the car but not out of it or by jumping.

I swear if this doesn't win

This was a good concept and nice pixel art. My game bugged, I had four carts and every one started to get aflame and there was so much flames on going that my game started to jam. In the end it dropped maybe to less than 5 fps. It was nice, but maybe carry people little bit faster? Throwring felt little bit awkward as you needed some speed I assume.

Good concept, art and music, excellent Game play mechanics.

Lovely Graphics and well matched to the theme! Multiplayer could be so much fun for this!

Oh and the sound done by human voices is ace!!

Love it, please finish it, I would love this game. Make a tycoon style train game where you travel ll over your country running trains xD

I keep pressing ESC to go to the menu or backing out of the buy train selections. That exits the game and it's frustrating. Somewhat confused by the carts don't refill

Love the graphics!

Constructive criticism

-I felt a little far from the action and would love it even more if the view moved in closer. The animated gif on your page makes it feel more action packed, that's where I wanted to be.

-Full screen mode would be good.

-Text overlay was a little hard to read but that might have been because of the full screen mode.

Other than that excellent work!
