Took me a minute to figure out how the game worked. But once I did, it was pretty fun. Good job.

Your game is really cute and I'd probably annoy the hell out of my fellow train riders if this would be a mobile game :D

Nice concept ! easy to understand. Graphics could be better but it's enough to enjoy the game ;)

good work. but it seems it's never viable to grow all the way to the top. maybe i'm just a bad player.

I'm running linux and was not able to run the .exe file. Wine gave me errors in Spanish.

Wow nice work, this was surprisingly fun! I think I was pretty bad, I didn't get better than a bit over 14k points, but I enjoyed it.

The cute graphics carried it a long way and the sound effects were also a nice touch. All around strong package.

If I could tweak anything it would be to get back into the action just a bit faster after a death. It's great that it has the restart button there, but still the time to push it all the way to the top and wait a bit for the first waves can be longer than the time I stay alive! What's that you say? Maybe I *shouldn't* be pushing it all the way to the top?? Hrm....

Fun to play and hard to master! I love the "risk it or play safe". Nice job overall. I think the graphics fit aswell

Cool game! Rather simple, but it works. It's easy just to stay near the top. The audio is the worst thing I have ever heard, the game would have been better without it... 8O| Love the face on the main character.
