I love it but i hate it... great job!!

This game is so simple, so damn simple, but I love it so much. Everything about this game made me laugh in one way or another, the faces of the people, people jumping on the track, the sound effects, the
realism, this game was made for me. There are some smaller qualms though. For one the mouse isn't locked, which is not only irritating but will make your game horrible for anyone with multiple monitors. Some levels would've elevated this game to a much better spot as well. All in all, funniest game I've played so far.

Very good game thank you!

Nice minigame!

You should be aware that there's a way to cheese it (exactly like in real life):

If you immediatly start running between the people and the rail tracks, you'll be guaranteed a place on the train car!

The idea of this game is amazing, sadly it was a bit short (but that's okay because it's a jam), overall i really enjoyed playing it, audio was great,too! Good job guys!

pretty depressing game

you nailed the presentation and made me lol. great job :)

Everyday is the same deal. People rushing in the train, busy pushing each other so much, that they forget to sit when they do get in. I've travelled by trains a lot and this hits the spot. Could extend the game by adding another station, where the player has to get out of the train, where people outside just pour in, the moment the train doors open.

Thank you all for the great response! We're really happy you like it!
@nishinoya , @griz We had indeed plans to do multiple levels and goals to achieve, but we had to focus on this one level and finish it, also we were all new to Unity and 3D-Modelling :)
@call-me-nutty the mouse is one problem we will fix in the coming days, we forgot to hide it and stuff.

Again thanks a lot!

Day1: Tried to kill myself by jumping on the tracks. Didn't work.

Day2: Tried to push others to thin the competition. Didn't work, ended up on the tracks again.

Day3: Tried to be a decent citizen and join the crowd. Didn't work, was stuck, triggered my agoraphobia.

Day4: Bypassed those suckers by threading the needle between the train and the platform. Got a seat on the train, happily raised my middle finger to those stuck outside while yelling "HAHA SUCK IT".

Day5: Gave up on this wretched life and followed the track in reverse to loose myself in the never-ending void.

10/10, perfect life simulator. Would not recommend for faint hearts though.

And this is why I always go to the train a bit earlier :D. Unusual idea, I liked it a lot, very fitting with the theme. A bit too short though. (Also you can fall off the map if you go back on the tracks)

@lamossus all part of the experience. Do we really know what's in a tunnel? ;)

Idk why but I can only easily look up and down. Left-right only works some of the time.

@vekstr yup we noticed this as well on ultra settings. Playing on medium or lower seems to work fine. Maybe V-Sync related.

@mrhankey Ah that's right, thanks. How peculiar..

I LOVE IT. i absolutely love it. if only it had like 1 or 2 levels extra that were just some extra people, i would love this even more. if you ever decide to update it to add like a level with more people in it, tag me!

This will be my life in 2 weeks when it school starts up again. Nice idea, would be nice if each day had a different path you could take or if you could push the smaller once around. After a few tried is also did what @steffo did.

Exceptionally fun game, made me laugh very hard.
Suggestion for the next update: Implement staff pushing the commuters into the train, like in Japan. ;)

I tried to launch the game 5 times and it always crashed :( apparently that's an issue nobody has - which is great - but I feel sad, I wanted to try XD any idea of the reason?

@saering bummer... what platform were you trying? We could only test windows64 and linux64

@mrhankey Windows 64! Don't worry, if I'm the only one having the problem it must not be a serious issue :) I simply wanted you to know, in case you had an idea !

Loved this game! haha graphics and mood were spot on!

Great little game !
well done on this little simulator :)
wish there was a purpose for it :)

@corbak don't you wish for a purpose as well when going to work on monday morning? :smile:

Good Gaming Idea, Music needs to be improved Graphics good

thanks to this game... i missed my train! very cool little game!

I like that train_info_board style.

OK I finally managed to get onto it!

That's what I experience everyday morning :(

That's the reason why I work 11am - 8pm :P
A really cool game with a fresh idea! However, I hoped there were more levels! :D

It may be short but in context to the jam you guys got your idea across incredibly well. The subject matter is super relatable to boot. Watching the angry faces zoom by from inside the train as it departs is a pretty good feeling..

COOL :D But I really wanted more. The potato guys were pretty creepy!

A reaallly fun game, I liked the simplicity and the sound effects set the mood right. Uber realistic.

Great, now to get off


Very nice idea, it was great. Thank you. Good job you guys. :heart:

A fun little game. It reminds me the subway 13 in Paris :smile:

Great menu screen, great music and sounds, great mood, great and innovative idea, thumbs up :slight_smile:

"Issues":
(1) passing by on the right side, while shoving some benches and getting into the first wagons door appears to easy in my opinion
(2) while falling into the void, you still make step sounds. Steps on what? And no, the steps are clearly the problem, not that you can fall into void at all

Really good job with the mood. Even with the simple art, it manages to transport me. Even the controls feel very suited to the experience.

Game really cool, and really if we walk by the edge of the platform, we can get easy on the train

Again, thank you all very much for the great response! It is a joy for us to read such nice comments on our game!

@kruemelkeksfan (1) there are several ways to get on the train, all depending on different things like which wagon you choose etc. It is "easily" possible to get into any wagon, it is just up to the player which strategy he decides on. (2) Well, what if I told you these are not your steps? :O It is clearly the echo of someones steps on the bottom of the void your falling in, someone who also fell into the void but reached the end. An ancient story which is known in the 7:30-am-universe as 'The Tale of the one who had no fear of the void'. A story which is told for generations to travellers and commuters serving as a spark of hope.

@matzetoni well you just earned yourself a heart and an extra star in mood for the thrilling backstory :slight_smile:

Nice game, I hope to see more updates and improvments sooner.
If you don't bother take a look at our game when we focused on Graphics and visuals and see the results that we got:
