Train Splat by BipolarMike

[raw]
made by BipolarMike for LD25 (COMPO)
A game where you play an evil man with an evil mustache, bent on tying up the world's population and dropping them in front of trains, one by one.

Memorize the train station's schedule, and place your victims to match!
Keep your epic evil mustache strong by making sure your victims don't get saved by the HERO!

Note: I did not have time to make sound effects or music, as I have a full time retail job (so this was made in about 6 hours total)

To download from my Google Drive account, click "Windows" and then "File -> Download"

Or you can download just the .exe file using the \/ arrow on that appears on the right when you hover your mouse over the file.

I love the premise, all villains should tie people (and by people I always imagined them as women) to train tracks.

I admire the Heroes perseverance. They keep on going despite everyone they try to save getting splatted. Great idea, particularly the mustache mechanic, and pretty fun too!

It's a decent memory pattern game. Could help if you sound effects at different pitches play to reinforce the memory of where the trains are going to be. Really needs some squishy sound effects and a train horn and a diabolical snicker to make this a classic.

Awesome! Fun memory game. It might be nice to have the traintracks colored differently or something to help tell them apart. It is kind of hard to distinguish between all the tracks when the arrows flash by quickly. The mustach length was really funny.

@csanyk @handCraftedRadio Yup that was all planned, just needed more time! 6 hours is not enough!!

Scored 5200. Not sure why I found a train consisting of the word "TRAIN" so funny.

Excellent theme tie in. Interesting gameplay mechanic. I really like your graphics. The whole of the game is very pleasant, and I love the filler boxes with the word train on them. :) Well done for 48 hours!

It's Simon Says for psychopaths! Obvious filler graphics are too bad but not overly distracting. I don't like Simon Says tho, so only played it for a short while :)

Very funny entry.

Fun game, I'm not sure how I can play to get this hero splat bonus, but still fun.

Hero splat bonus happens when you kill every victim in a level :)

Nice, I got 2900. This is like "I'm packing my suitcase", a german children's game, just with much more gore ^^ Some splat-sounds or animations would also have been great :)

Funny idea (although rather morbid :D) I agree with csanyk's comment about the change in audio to reinforce a train's location, but considering the press of time it's well done. Also, I really liked that the train is simply shown as "train" and the hero is simply shown as "hero," reminds me of VVVVVV
