Game was fun once I worked out what to do. I'm also a fan of this very simple art style. Very minimalist.  \n\nHowever, on my 4th attempt, the camera stopped scrolling after about 5-10min. I think I ended up in the corner of the world. The tracks lead right into this corner, and when the train hit the wall it declared it as I lost. Was this a bug or a winning condition not implemented? I had a score of 4390\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nick0124 creator","author_uid":"1166965","time":"2020-04-20T16:43:18Z","epoch":1587400998,"modified":1587400998,"text":"Intresting and simple","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Mark Smith","author_uid":"1001848","time":"2020-04-21T03:20:05Z","epoch":1587439205,"modified":1587439205,"text":"Once I realised what I was doing, it was quite a fun little game.

My first game a tree spawned very close to the train and derailed it before I could figure things out; on the second game the train went for 30 seconds unimpeded. \n\nBalancing chopping trees and refueling the train I think is a good mechanic - it feels like the kind of game which might be better with puzzle-like levels that are handmade!
