Also, I like that you can select the villain and hero in any combination of women, men and goat.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Took me a little while to get used to the tile-based movement. Also, sometimes the heroes spawn too close and grab you right away. On the other hand, I loved it when a hero saved a victim just before the train reached them."},{"author_name":"gritfish","author_uid":"10705","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:06pm","epoch":1355770860,"text":"I've put up a quick update - you no longer need to refresh to restart the game (it just goes back to the start screen on its own)"},{"author_name":"madmaw","author_uid":"5068","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:24pm","epoch":1355771940,"text":"A really beautiful little game"},{"author_name":"Cambrian_Man","author_uid":"4198","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 1:21am","epoch":1355793360,"text":"Loved the graphics and I'm partial to tile\/train games.

You got much farther on graphics than I did, they are great.  You've also introduced this frantic arcade element instead of going with a pure Pipe Dream clone like I did.  How do you get a train to run on the tracks?!"},{"author_name":"Christina Antoinette Neofotistou","author_uid":"13139","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 9:27pm","epoch":1355952120,"text":"Damn cool!!!

In the first part, I felt there was no way to lose. It's more of a sandbox game in which you can build tracks in the way you like, using the given resources. Getting hit by a hero didn't penalize me in any way...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In the second part, it's somewhat easy to grab the victim and place them right in front of the train before he or she can be saved by the hero.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I loved the fact that you can select the gender (and well, species) of the hero, victim and villain."},{"author_name":"TyrusPeace","author_uid":"5305","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 7:22am","epoch":1356160620,"text":"The movement is a bit too slow, which makes the controls overall pretty frustrating, but I do really like how you made this concept into a speedy action puzzler :).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice graphics and style! Some sounds really would have helped, and perhaps making the spawn points of the start\/end of the track non-random would have helped, too. You could start them near each other the first time and further apart for subsequent &quot;levels&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Well done!"},{"author_name":"Houly","author_uid":"7224","time":"Dec 23, 2012 @ 7:09pm","epoch":1356289440,"text":"Feels very polished!
