Villain on a train by pinion
My first ever Ludum Dare entry!
VILLAIN ON A TRAIN!
Randomised train mischief simulator.
Story:
You are a villain on a train, causing mischief! Try to decide what action will be most villainous or otherwise useful as you explore the cars. When you are done (visited all cars) you will be awarded a title depending on your performance. Good luck!
Instructions are available in game, but here there are too:
Use LEFT and RIGHT to pick a train car, then ENTER to go in and take an action. Train cars are random each game and the length of the train can vary.
Your goal is to increase your Villain Points (VP) whilst not getting busted by keeping a low profile (ALERT < 100), not dying by keep healthy (HP > 0)and maybe get rich trying (GP)! Clearing all cars will end the game and give you a rating.

There are a range of titles/ratings depending on your VP and GP.
I wrote a little review on it, you can check it on http://ldmr.wzl.vg/#pinion
If you have a twitter account, or someplace else you want to me to link, let me know and i'll add it in there too :)
@wzl, your review describes pretty much exactly what I was going for! I don't have a twitter or anything though.
Now, off to rate other games.
The gameplay was very nice but it would have been nice to have had a bigger end to look forwards to.
Not a bad game at all.
I would've like more scenarios for each car was it random? Maybe if they were all different, and different things happened if you did certain cars in order... There is a also no indication of close you are to getting caught (is it just 100?) Overall very nice!
Also, I lol'd at the homemade sound effects.
Haha, so cool.
I like and dislike the choices at the same time. They are funny and interesting, but their randomness and unpredictability renders them mostly moot. It was still enjoyable for a few times. It's a bit hard to say whether I did particularily good or bad at the end of the game.
The art is not pretty, but serves it purpose in a minimalistic way.
All in all, an enjoyable experience. Thanks!
The minimalistic presentation is great, too.
I like the concept that you chose what you are and what "being a violain" means. Thx !
