Murdertrain by Grimani

[raw]
made by Grimani for LD 43 (JAM)

Genre: arcade, puzzle, road rage

Choo-choo! Murdertrain a comin' for ya! To grab you by the invisible hand, put you in a cart and use you for it's unknown evil purposes! :smiling_imp:

Player's main objective is to get as far as possible. The game is infinite - see how far do you get. The fuel is limited and the only source of it is actually the passengers. Pick them up with the mouse and put them in cart to use later. See a cart staying alone in the field? Don't hesitate - take it and attach to your (murder)train! Low on fuel? Take one dude and throw it in train's furnace - it will heat it up a little. Watch out for dangerous traps that blocks your way! Roadblocks can be opened with a little bit of human sacrifice - just throw one of the dudes on spikes! Mines... Well, should I still tell you how to disarm them? :wink:

Um . . . no one spawned for me. Had me plenty of train cars but no passengers around.
(Let me know when it gets fixed and I'll update my comment.)

@evan-overly The dudes spawn is randomized - try restarting a level (just wait when "press any key" caption appears on the screen) and try again. :slight_smile:
Fix is better and will be done, of course, but will take some time.

Fun game! I really like the graphics, especially the locomotive! I did have to restart multiple times before I was able to get going, because no bodies appeared for me. Anyway, good job!

I have the no spawn problem too, i understand the randomize but it appear very often. And when the first block i far for the spawn, waitinf for the press any key screen is very long aha ^^.
The train parts are snapping realy fast on the train side and it blocks me really often too aha.

Maybe it would be better if there is always a stack of dudes at the spawn and if we can replace the trains parts.

Otherwise, the idea is really cool :)

It's a really good game idea! But this game breaking bug mentioned @evan-overly should be fixed very fast! Reduce the spawn rate of the wagons and increase the spawn rate of the body, then it should be fine! Overall great game!

Haha, creepy game. When I picked up one of the carriages, it actually got attached to the side of the train which got it stuck at the level crossing. :laughing: Tried again after looking at the video and worked out a bit more how to play it. Nice work!

Guys! @evan-overly! :slight_smile: Sorry, totally forgot to tell you about it. We fixed several bugs! First - with dudes spawn (there's lots of them now, that's fun!), second - with hills collision. Have fun! :smile:

I didn't get what I had to do and it took me a too long time to figure out but otherwise the game was cool!
