Rail Rush by FrederoxDev

[raw]
made by FrederoxDev for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

My first ever game jam that I have participated in, glad I was able to finish! Every 10 seconds the train speeds up by 25% background.png

How to make rails!

To get the raw resources hold and click on the rail. You can combine them together by picking up the items and placing them ontop of eachother

I can't seem to have the embeded view on this page so I have added a link to it on itch.io where I know it works!

nice work for a first jam game!

I couldn't figure out what to do for the 3rd level, so I got stuck there

A very fun game! It was a little unclear how to craft tracks at first, but once I found out, I really enjoyed it!

This is really great for your first jam! Fun, simple concept. Maybe put some instructions in the description? It took me several tries to figure out what I was supposed to do and how to do it.

Thanks for the feedback on making tracks, I've added an image to this post so it can be more clear for new people. In future i'll definitely try and make the core features more obvious

This game is fun, it has a lot of gotcha! I first thought that I would combine the element and then place the rail... So I had to wait a loooong time for my now inevitable first crash... then I didn't realize that it would be a puzzle game where I could get stuck... so I waited again for the inevitable crash!

The game is hard, I can't find the right order for level 2!

It's a very solid first game ! well done

Great fun! It can sometimes be tricky to get the cursor to go where you want.

I BEAT THE GAME!! This game actually made me angry! (In a good way!) Challenging puzzles, time and resource managment, all while the train was chugging at me. It seems slow at first... but it creeps up on you! I thought there was a bug in level 3 because I couldn't get past it, but then i figured it out! i was the dumb one the whole time! then the last level... oh my lord. it was so hard! that was the one that made me angry, because i knew how to beat it, but to get all the resources in time was so hard! sometimes id be one more rail left but i only have one tree and im stuck. oh my! So much fun though, great game! The one thing is the cursor does get really hard to control, which made it harder to do things fast and accurately. ive placed rails on the wrong spot or it keeps missing where im trying to place things/pick up and the train derails. Overall though, great game! Great job! I beat it! Ahh! it feels so good because it was so harddd at the end haha!
