Pretty good, needs more locomotives and the cactus could use some glochids I wasn't really convinced that it could be a real cactus.

This is a cool little game with a lot of charm! The art, music, and story were all well done and came together really nicely. I liked all the detail - I thought the flashing lights around the poster in the opening scene was a nice touch, for example.

I caught the train four times to see if there might be a different love waiting for me if I did better - but then as an afterthought I let myself fail and I was happy I did!

Great job and good use of the theme.

That was funny, I like the theater look you went with. Game was very solid if little easy, managed to reach the end almost right away.

Great music and graphics ! Making it longer would probably be a bit boring if the gameplay would have stayed the same so I didn't find it too short in the end.

Good, it's simple, but very well made.
Maybe a bit short and easy, but it's fun.
