Shov Station -

Make sure the trains run on time by making space for the incoming passengers !
RED passengers in RED trains, BLUE passengers in BLUE trains !
Don't let them fall on the tracks though !

Left Click - Shove towards the train
Right Click - Shove towards the platform

The desktop version has better performance !
Chrome does not seem to work properly for the web version... try firefox !

Update:

Chrome browser: most issues seem to be fleshed out, works better... worst case, still try firefox or standalone version.

I think this would be good casual game.

Graphics is really good but controls are hard to master.

Good entry!

You've done an amazing job. Extremely impressive entry on all fronts, and amazing execution.
Your victory will be well deserved.

There looked to be some collisions that shouldn't be happening which kind of ruined it (people being stopped by people inconsistently).
Once you get the hang of it, it's fun.

This was really cool! Ylu should be really proud. It looks fantastic. My onky geioe is that the controls can be really frustrating. That said I can't provide a neat solution. Overall a really strong submission! Congratulations

Oh man all those poor people I blew under the train! I think their relatives weren't too happy and sued my Train filling company.

Game is fun, innovative and well fitting for the theme. Graphics look very professional. Audio is supporting the well working gameplay. Good bit of humor and mood is nice. I can't find much negative about this game. I got weird game overs at some point. Maybe I stuffed the wrong people on the train too much. Don't know..

Overall very nice entry for the Jam. Well done!

Graphics are very nicely done
Controls are hard, it's very rough, but the game requires some precision
Overall, I liked playing it, nice entry.

I love the idea, but it felt way too hard to control. Maybe I was missing something. I'd love to see this reworked and expanded upon, and maybe the difficulty adjusted somehow, either via a more optimized general mechanic or some other additional features.

Graphically superb, audio worked well. Really sad I sucked at this one! Please keep working on it?

Hope you've had a great LD!

A lot of people killing themselves hahaha! Very funny and agonizing, thinking that these people are late for work :). good Luck

The game is very nice however I think the difficulty is too high, there are too many people to handle and because of that games becomes laggy.

I experienced some lag during peoples instantiation, but it's a good game.
I like the graphics, mechanics are simple and effective.

Found it pretty difficult, but great idea, a lot of fun to just push people around

Thanks a lot for all the feedback and those that found it funny xD, that was the intention.

@alexfalkenberg : indeed yes, we are planning on working and expanding on it. As a game jam experiment it came out good lucking and funny, we are happy about it but also very frustrating as a game.

@kubenexion @zozer We will actually be able to handle way more people and stuff going around without lag. We just went with straight expensive physics. This type of game requires a custom solution for this. Thanks a lot for trying it out and giving feedback.
