Totally Normal Train by jigalx

[raw]
made by jigalx for LD34 (COMPO)
This is garbage. Please don't play it. I didn't want to submit it but my girlfriend told me to do it. She said it was fun. She's crazy.

It's a two button game with a bit of growth in it. Control a train/truck thing (ok it's actually a sphere) with the D and Space buttons travelling in only one direction. Buy and sell goods along your journey as you try to survive as long as possible by buying more fuel. FEATURING PROCEDURAL GENERATION! Wow. The businesses (ok, they're actually cubes) and power ups are at different location every single time, allowing INFINITE REPLAYABILITY! This game is your life now.

I didn't have time for any audio, graphics (all placeholder graphics as you can see) or even any play testing. It probably doesn't even work for all I know.

Don't forget to have fun while playing!

Hey, nice work! I really like the idea of a resource-management "runner". I was cruising along, taking on cargo...then "aagh where's a gas station! not oil, gas!" ... and then I ran out. 115km. Or miles :D

Pro:
+ Neat concept
+ A lot of planning ahead
Con:
- Sometimes the gas station would too far, and sometimes had 3 in a row, but hey, it's procedural generation, didn't except that it would be like totally balanced

Didn't forget to have fun! But this game isn't my life now... ;)

Nice idea, too bad the game wasn't polished enough. With a bit more work it could be a nice game :)

Mediocre. Maybe the graphics should be better?

Thanks for the warning, but I only listen to my own advice, and even then, only when I'm drunk. So I played anyway.

This does have potential as an idea for some kind of game.

Regarding whether or not you should submit things, even if its not done you should or your time is wasted - even one person's feedback could be of value.

You told me to don't play this game. Chrome told me to don't play this game. I've played this game. And.. it's nice ^^ Simple concept, but effective. Quite hard, but it's addictive. Well done ^^
