A trip along the railroad tracks by Catmoo
I figured for this LD I'd try and make something a little simpler so here you have A trip along the railroad tracks a game trying to re-create the memories an LCD game like we all grew up with.
You play a dastardly fiend that wants to have his vengeance on the world...or just on passers by. I hope you enjoy!
I hope to also be releasing a version for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 in the close future after making sure to iron out any bugs that exist.
You can play with a variety of controls as the instructions state although I recommend using the mouse as then the avatar changes between his subimages which didn't manage to get completed on arrow/WASD.
Also sorry that there is no highscore table as well, I couldn't get it to work and it was causing other script to not work. But let me know your scores as it does get frantic and probably a bit too hard the further you get, I really want to go over it again to balance the timings.
Also my apologises that the .exe actually has to be installed now, I didn't realise Game Maker had changed its ways.
Created in Game Maker studio and tested mainly on Windows and a little testing in Internet Explorer 9. As usual if you find any bugs please let me know so I can try and fix them! :) Also for those with small screens my apologies for making it at such a large resolution, I did this because of my plans to port it over to other devices.
Enjoy!

Nice work!
Definitely liking aesthetic execution with the graphics style and resolute audio!
I think your game also misses a loosing condition. Like RexPeppers suggests, having to avoid trains could enhance the gameplay.
The gameplay is kind of repetitive, I wish there was more to it, as there's too much waiting time and what you do move ends up being really automated. But good job, over all!
Nice little game.
