Train Troubles by MashUpGames
Control the tracks!
Imagine: you're stuck in a boring office job, going day in and day out in a cycle of staleness. So one day, you bring your toy trains to work to make things more fun. You are a train conductor after all, so you know things about trains.
Build your playground
Place tracks to connect the loop and get the train travelling around the table, dropping off and picking up passengers so they all meet their destination.

I had a small issue where i was able to move along a track piece that didn't exist, but apart from that the game is really well made and fun.
The train and the tracks bug and look weird sometimes. The audio it´s fine. I´m not sure if you did, but I suggest using multiple songs if possible in case you didn´t.
It needs some work but of course 72h are 72h. Cool take on the theme and cool game overall. Nice work!
UPD: I agree with @themosterts, train moves a bit slow. It's OK on first levels, but as tracks grow, you wish it moved faster.
It was a little weird that, on the crossings level, the train would stop for the cars :thinking:
Really cute visuals !
"Physics" were a bit janky for me (train carriages would get stuck temporarily). Maybe that was due to my low framerate on my potato.
Loved the visuals and sounds. Overalls seems really polished!
Nice entry overall.
I watched the "Making Of" video before I found the game, and then came to try it.
So, I have nothing negative to say about it, it's a beautiful game :) You pretty much hit the bullseye on mood, aesthetic, audio and visuals - went a bit different route than we did, but I'd say you did an even better job.
I especially like the consistent visual style, very clean, cartoon-ish, geometric, and reminiscent of actual model train set toys.
Great job!
