Fun game! I liked the strategy behind trying to ride the line of enough people on the train without it breaking. The graphics are cute and simple, and the audio cues made it easy to tell when you were moving vs when you were at the station.

My hand was tired by spamming the space bar so I had to switch to the other. Too many smacks! Fun game.
Kudos ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ

What Have I played! Why am I smacking bums? I'm the one that looks like a bum! What's with all the money? and why are so many people coming in?! and how do they take out the trains!!!

So many questions, and yet it was nice. Funny stuff, chilling cries (not really) Good going!

.Had a blast playing this. Really funny and good for venting frustration. It's like they say, "violence is golden".

My god this game is the reason people should stream LD games. I mean that scream is pricesless while youre smacking bums to their deaths. But I liked the art actually and the gameplay was pretty unique, got destroyed completetly but I had fun :D

Very nice and unique gameplay! The sounds effects are AMAZING but the music is a bit too repetitive.

Liked the graphics but the sound of the people getting kicked off the train was very grating after not very long. Still, turned into a frantic kick fest -- lots of fun!

Really liked the graphics, but SFX was the best! Good job!

The sounds were hilarious! Overall I liked your funny approach to the theme, even though there was no real point in the trains breaking down due to a bunch of people in there (Hell yeah, I'm bringing up realism :smile:).
The core mechanic reminded me a lot of our own game. Graphics were pretty solid.

It's fun, I liked it :D Although I didn't get, what do I need the money for? :)

Great scream sound, was satisfying to smack people out. Not sure I fully understood what made me lose though? The background was awesome I thought, graphics were simple but really effective. Games with cross-section vehicles in are the best!

very clever - so many great screams - i would not have made the player press E to go the next train - great job - thanks for making it
