Nice game! I got a score of 190, and some rat infestation complaints but no street complaints, aw yeah ! I thought people would fall there so i was more worried about fixing those parts haha

Nice game, like the stress of being a high speed metro maintenance main. Rats got out of control quick though and I'm sure a couple of people tripped over the open grates. Fun game though nice job!

Overall, a fun game. Starts off slow, but becomes really hectic very quickly. Nice Job!

A good concept, cool screenshake when the subway train goes by :D Would have been cool if was like an extreme maintenance man with a jet propelled screwdriver launcher...

A really fun concept and I like the micro-management but holy mother of god it is hard. I got like 14 street complaints and 22 rat complaints on my first go. I really like it and out of the game's I've played so far in Ludum Dare 29 it is one of the best

Oh the plight of the city worker! Really interesting idea, I liked how the mechanics of the top and bottom layers had just a tiny bit of a difference but it changed the gameplay a lot.

Very cute game although it gets very hectic. I liked it though I wasn't sure if my score of 111 is good or not.

Good idea. But as already said, it's stressful. Too much rats.
