LD41 Train of Fortune - Screensaver Edition by Boopadoop

[raw]
made by Boopadoop for LD 41 (JAM)

For our very first Ludum Dare we set out to make mash-up of a train sim and tower defense and ended up with a glorified screen saver. Originally you were supposed to buy and upgrade carriages which would defend your train from enemies and you would also decide which tracks the train would take at turn offs (which could either benefit or hinder you). This is what we ended up with so I hope you guys enjoy! :Dld41trainItchCover.png

Hi guys! tbh the idea is pretty clear and awesome! But, how do you play? I mean, I try to defend the train clicking or pushing keys but nothing happened :C (Maybe its me that doesn't know xD) In any case, good work for your very first Ludum Dare ^^ Good luck!

@Kilelock Hey thanks so much for playing! Unfortunately we ran out of time and never ended up implementing any actual player interaction with the game, so all you can really do is watch the train as it plods along :)

I love the art style, you should have removed damage from it so I can watch this train for hours. Something is really soothing about it. Nice work, but it is a shame I couldn't interact because I can FEEL how fun it would have been. Haha, but good job guys.
