made by craigoryham for LD34 (JAM)
*NOTE*KNOWN BUGS AND STATUS AT THE BOTTOM*NOTE*


Collect musical buddies, sacrifice them to protect the engine cart, and be a train.


==========================
CONTROLS: Z and X
==========================
Scoop Rocks and small logs into your compactor cart using 'X' to build passenger carts.

Hold 'Z' + 'X' to slow down and pick up a passenger (each one makes there own sound and there are 5 in total, collect them all!)

Charge 'Z' to fling a passenger or a cart at an enemy or a big boulder or log.

*Please if the game crashes drop the error message and a description of what caused the error so I can squash it and update the game file! I can't fix them without a little help if I can't duplicate the error! Thanks!*
FIRST LUDUM DARE! I learned so much and redid so much work, but wow, this is fun, and this is my first game/demo/tutorial by myself, so please enjoy it
and give me honest feedback.


KNOWN BUGS
*buds colliding with a big boulder/log would cause audio to crash [FIXED]
*when colliding with big boulder/log with more than one cart game crashes [FIXED]
*player begins in the debug room with nothing to do but die by a big boulder/log[FIXED]

Neat game, although confusing, but after a minute, it crashed with this error (held Z+X after intro)

Nice little game. And congrats on your first LD entry! It's a great feeling, isn't it? :)

I like the audio and the art style a bit. Game was a tad confusing at first, but still enjoyable. Also, as a head's up: when using Game Maker, you can just send your project file for source code instead of putting all your code into a text file. Saves you some time!

hi, GM bro)
nice game, i think it has some idea
i am not sure about controls - when i began tapping on the keyboard, train was able to get the things and build the carts) it could be tuned i suppose, or make breaks more comfortable to use)
i like it- it has some pleasant aftertaste )

I downloaded the game but my computer said that your game wanted to make changes to my computer (which needed to be authorized by an admin). I don't play games which require admin permissions for security reasons, is there a way for me to play the game without needing admin permissions?

I enjoyed the hand drawn aesthetic, but wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing. I picked up a whale though that was cool and I shot my flatbeds forward. Then it ended.

Very enjoyable graphics and nice audio. The gameplay was very confusing on the other hand. You might want to export your project as a singletime executable or a zip file, having to go through the GameMaker installer can be annoying to a lot of players.

@Tselmek, ah I see that must be what #dcRfj15 was talking about.

Yeah I overshot on the game play, but I got a half decent idea out of it that I'm fleshing out currently, posting on twitter.com/craigoryham for those who want to check it out.
