Out of signal by StealthOrc

[raw]
made by StealthOrc for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

We all wanted to play with trains when we were kids, right? Well now you can in this puzzling game! :D

In these puzzles you can find the best and quickest way to route the trains by adjusting the signals in a way so they arrive where they should and (hopefully) without any crashes! Compete in a leaderboards or create and play your own Maps!

All you need is to download the game and start playing maps. We recommend starting with the first two Campaign maps: A Simple Beginning and Two Crossings to get a grip on what things do and then continue on to other maps AND even embark on custom created maps perhaps by other players or perhaps even by YOU? lovec<em>wdMe7HTN2l.gif lovec</em>jU0iQNbXjV.gif lovec_2ElyXwCW34.gif

Big big thanx to our friends and experiment subjects for testing this game on muiltiple occasions during this Jam: Thanks to: - Ulldrael (for breaking the game and especially the editor multiple times.. sigh.. and for building some sweet speed maps :D) - Eklipsis (for testing and building some maps) - Modos - Sh4d0w - Nox

Really nice graphics, especially the subtle outlines on the UI are a nice touch. For the gameplay, it is at first somewhat confusing but clears up post a few levels. Feels satisfying to watch and overall fun. Nice job on the entry!

It looks very cool, I liked it and I played some levels with interest, the interface is incredible! I think you should finish it and publish it on GooglePlay

What the hell, this is amazing puzzle game. Such a great basis for a proper mobile puzzle game. Just add sounds and music, do some polish here and there and you can ship it to app stores!

PS: though tutorial was kinda overwhelming.

Very nice polished UI, complex yet not complicated gameplay, very good! Though the audio wouldn't hurt!

This game really reminded me of my university days studying circuit design (schematics). The interface is top-notch and feels very satisfying to use. There’s such a great sense of accomplishment when you finally get the 'Flow' right. Awesome work!

there was no sound when i played, so it was very scary to control trains in silence...
But the gameplay in general is nice, visuals are cool and understandable. I'm also obsessed with trains and this sort of logistics games, so very nice project you did! Great job!

Realy slick and very nicely put together. I do love these sorts of games so it was nice to play around with for a while. Obviously more features and types of connections/junctions would have been nice, but the jam version was solid as an experience! I didn't hear any audio in the game, some music would have gone a long way. Nice job!

I absolutely love this - we also tried to do online game where you can create maps and share it with others - I think it was LD 55 😄 the part where we watch leaderboards and try to be first is really fun part of the game, but also just navigating trains is super comfort game for chilling.

@Teminister @dvan1337 (and everyone else hehe) Yeah we did not add any sfx to it sadly, that would make it even more polished and probably give it some of the last finishing edges... sooo no sound for now.
Thank you everyone for your feedback, I love to read you guys enjoy this game so much and especially since you guys seem to enjoy the UI so much I put so much thought into and tried to make feel really nice! Thank you guys! :3

Polished, great gameplay, online services, map editor. I am stunned!
Also, we made some first places on the campaign maps with my GF so far, for you to beat. GL HF
