Train-O-Matic 3000™ by Rolly

[raw]
made by Rolly for Ludum Dare 60 (COMPO)

How lucky! You are now the proud owner of your very own TRAIN-O-MATIC 3000™!

This revolutionary piece of technology will take care of almost everything involved in managing your railway network!

All you have to do is:

  • Optimize routes so every train reaches its destination.
  • Manually operate railway signals.
  • Manually switch tracks.
  • Make sure no trains collide.
  • And do all of that as fast as possible!

It's practically fully automated!

Controls

Everything is controlled using your trusty keyboard (not included with the TRAIN-O-MATIC 3000™).

Commands

  • LOGIN USERNAME Enter your username at the start of the game to appear on the leaderboards.
  • LIGHT A Toggle signal light A on or off.
  • SWITCH A Toggle railway switch A between its two positions.

Other Controls

  • Numpad + / - Adjust the background music volume.
  • F1 Restart the current level.
  • Escape Quit the game.

Known Issues

  • I completely forgot to give the game a proper ending. After level 11, it will display "Loading next mission" forever. There are no more missions. Just imagine a magnificent "You did so well! Thanks for playing!" screen, complete with confetti, fireworks, and unicorns galloping across your monitor.

Leaderboards

I didn't have time to integrate the leaderboard during the game, but I still made it after the deadline. You can find it at https://nathanistace.be/gamejams/ld60/leaderboards. Do not take this page into account when voting!

:robot: This game was fully made without generative AI.
