made by haruzusi for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Stealing the train was the easy part!

Once a year bandits try their best to steal a train, just to keep it running until the road ends... but this year things are a little different.

Incarnate an experienced bandit and face an endless road (and train?!) ahead of you! Keep the engine alive by making your coal doesn't run out!

Nice game concept with great visuals. Controls could be a little bit more direct for my taste. They are quite unresponsive. Great work!

Building the levels with wagons is a smart way to do it!

Solid concept for a puzzle game. Altough some carts are significantly easier than others, it's a very good effort and was fun!

Very nice game idea, I really love the random wagons mechanic, levels are well designed. I wished it had better platformer controls so I could keep playing more. Great work!

Great concept and a good game! I liked a lot the graphics and de level design. The sound makes a good environment. The controls needs more balance.

Sometimes I felt like I was skipping the puzzle during certain cars, but overall the cars were very well designed. My only nitpick is that the moving platforms like to misbehave in terms of throwing you off of them if you move a bit on the landing.

Now that was a tad surreal :D Liked it a lot! Perhaps at some points it was a bit hardi to hit platforms or some edges blocked the way in an unintiutive way. Anyway, I liked it a lot. Great job!

I mean if this isn't the Ludum Dare winning entry then I don't know what will be! Changing the carriage every time you go back is so clever and so seamless. Really fantastic job on this. Agree with others that the controls could be tightened up a bit and the platforms can behave a bit odd... but really well done.

Cool, and well executed concept. And really nice graphcs and sound. Especially the music.

I have one complaint though, but it should be easily fixable. The sound from the engine is only playing in my right earphone, and it gets unbearable after a while.

Nice! Smooth graphics combined with some nice sound. Took me a while to realize that the levels actually progressed and almost closed the game after the first round when i saw that the fuel drained so slowly haha. Nevertheless i had a fun time playing it!

Fun game. I think that the player should be rewarded with extra km if they deliver the coal sooner, otherwise the best strat is to wait until you are almost out of coal and then dump it which is boring if players are going for a high score. it could also be nice if you only had to walk over one train car on the way to the coal and the train cars spawn in when you enter the coal car. Anyways, great score game!
