It seems like whenever I go and try to submit my game, it suddenly won’t launch because the manifest file is completely screwed up, or all the images suddenly turned into orange triangles, or maybe it started only reading mouse input when space is pressed.

This time, there were lots of problems with trying to get it up on GitHub – first, git shell thought that git didn’t exist, which was a small problem, and then I managed to accidentally delete the .git directory, and on top of all that, I also had the manifest file problems.

But! I finally got it up!

My game is called TrainStack, and it is a “””puzzle””” game about building trains. The problem is, most of the levels are not particularly puzzling – the only one that truly is even close is the last level, and it was by complete accident.

I realized near the end of the compo that I could have made much more puzzling levels if I had just kept like the first 6 train-things I had made, and then just sort of randomly spread them throughout a level. But I didn’t end up doing that, because 1) I probably had too little time and 2) I liked all the silly little things I had made (like the anti-health train car, which blows up other cars when it blows up)

It’s certainly one of my most complete games, although it probably isn’t my most fun. But! I do kind of like the modular train builder, and there is a number of explosions.

I’m not sure anyone will like it, but I would appreciate feedback, so if it looks interesting to you, please comment! Thanks!
