How does a train that big only have space for only 8 people? Nice game!

Oh dear lord, this brings so many ideas at the same time to my tiny head... I'm having clear fall guys vibes... combined with some drifting Mario Kart style... Then I realized this is how real life works. But ok back to your game, the graphics are simple yet effective, the audio fits the same bill. It all fits together, well done !

Grand Theft Commuter! That was great, prefect theme use! Pretty satisfying pushing people into the black void. The only thing missing is some shoving sounds and grunts.

Definity one of the games that didn't bore me out before I reached the end. Would've loved to see a few more levels. It also gave me an idea how we could've improved our "endgame" in the game we submitted, oh well, little too late now :smile:. Anyway, very nice job and it's nice to see a game polished this far where everything looks cohesive and just plays nice.

I loved this. Really on point with the theme, it looked great, played really well, and felt really nice, and just a nice bit of humour!

The only feedback I can think to give is it was a little too easy - I think a few more "pinch" points and extra people/the ability to be misled by the crowd would probably do a lot, but as a jam game I can absolutely see the potential of the theme!

excellent game! When I realized that you could shove people into the abyss I had a huge grin on my face lol. Really cool game, good job!

Missed my second run of the first abyss level because pushing people in is just too satisfying (the fabled Rush Hour genocide run).

But yeah, super funny take on the theme! I had a blast pushing through all the people, there's just something extremely satisfying about cutting through a huge crowd like that. I loved how more elements were slowly introduced, such as the well elements that can be pushed by the audience and the abyss, that added interesting new challenges to the levels, I felt. And of course it culminated in the final level where you really have to push and use everything to make it into the train, that one was an exciting nailbiter for me, superb. Graphics fit well with the gameplay, it was fun seeing all the little guys moving towards the train, same with the sound, I think the bass-heavy track really has that, well, rush hour feel. Just a perfect fit. Wonderful game all around, great job!

Ok, that was absolutely AWESOME! The most fun and comic game I played in this jam by far. The possibility of pushing people to the limbo is just incredibly fun and chaotic, loved it! I wish there were more 100 levels for me to play.

Great entry. certainly reminds me of fall guys. Had a lot of fun figuring out what path to take each level.

This was a very original take on the theme! I really liked how sometimes not taking the most straight forward path was the best thing to do, in order to avoid the line of people. Each level you had to play a couple of times to learn those most optimals paths, which was fun to try and figure out. For this last level I made it just in time on my last try, but I have no idea how you could do better on that one XD

If you would like to expand this game I would think of more things you can do or figure out as a player. Maybe you can close doors behind you, or something like that. Just so that there are a couple more options to choose from when figuring out what is most optimal.

Anyway, the art and music were both really good and fitting as well. Very nicely done! :D

Really fun game, i especially liked being able to push people in the black pit :smile:
You really managed to bring that chaos race with all the people blocking each others and the high-tempo music

hey, moshhhhhhh pit. I had fun trying to shove people out of my way. I was wanting even more CRAZY punch and hits, but just getting all this working and getting it frantic like that is cool! GOod jiob!

fun game, liked the play on the theme, graphics and gameplay are nice as well (falling into abyss is a fun addition). i agree with others that the premise is a bit too similar to Fall Guys but overall positive impressions

I only have one question. Why does shoving people out of your way feel so good?
But seriously, fun game that plays smoothly and the music helps convey the tone of urgency that you feel when fighting for the last seat on the train. Sometimes I found myself screaming internally when people blocked me.

i really liked this game, it definitely has a lot of potential! i really want to see what you'll do with the post-jam version because i'll be happy to play the new levels (and see if you've added anything else).

art was nice and readable and i got very invested in shoving people hehe! really nice entry!

What a banger game. A great idea realised really well with cool graphics and amazing music.

Had a lot of fun - especially pushing NPC's into pits.

Liked the level variation.

Would have liked some sound effects - especially for pushing people and people falling into pits.

What have you done! I've replayed the levels several times just to push as many people into the void as possible, I am ashamed and pleased at the same time.
Really fun game with great graphics, perfectly fits the theme.
Good job!
