I didn't feel like I had much control over my train, it seemed more like chance as to if I would survive or not. I also managed to end up on a track that didn't cross over any others, which clearly isn't intended, and also meant I couldn't join a new game.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"velocitycss","author_uid":"1214169","time":"2020-10-07T13:19:49Z","epoch":1602076789,"modified":1602076789,"text":"I think points for attempting online multiplayer.

After several attempts, it seemed as though I was the only train left on the track, couldn't see anyone else for a minute or two. \n\nAll questions aside, I find the concept of the gameplay itself fantastic - simple to learn, difficult to master. I think the core mechanics are there, and with a tutorial stage and a formal menu, I could really see this as being one of those .io games. As far as I could tell, I couldn't find a way to replay right from the menu, and having a designated single player stage could at least help those who don't know how to play get into the basics of the mechanics instead of being thrown into an already existing, multiplayer stage. \n\nRegardless, it would be interesting to see powerups or something that would affect the length of the train as well. Overall, it's a great and pretty well executed mechanic.
