I believe this latest update now works on macs:https://wadlo.github.io/train-game/

I like this game, I just wish the controls were better, cause sometimes I try to go one tile over and the game moves me over two or even three tiles over.

Something about this is very addictive, i really enjoyed spreading my train across the world and just chugging along.

Hi Alan I would like to know if you have a Twitter account bcz the one you linked to your account isn't showing anyone.

I haven’t checked itch in a while, sorry.

I deleted my twitter account in favor of mastodon.

My mastodon account is @alanxoc3@tilde.zone. Updating itch/ldjam to reflect that now.

Thanks for playing the game though!

when a dev creates an addicting game and you refuse to press [R]:

just. one. more. load!

thanks, alanxoc3 :)

any chance of a Fullscreen option for Web version?

LOL, you win the award for beating the game after you already beat it. Congrats!

I think your $999 playthrough deserves a fullscreen option. I’ll try to figure that out in the next few hours.

Haven’t checked itch in a while (I need to subscribe to notifications), so sorry about that.

@virtual-nomad. I added it. I guess it was just an option in itch, so super easy. Enjoy.

Woot! er, now i'm gonna lose the rest of my day.. if you ever want to make a Campaign mode... ;)

Awesome game. I after I won I kept playing for a few minutes because I didn't see the message at the bottom. Nice job

Great game. Nice balance of risk and reward. It'd be nice to have a station where you can buy an extra car.

@UnitVector, that was actually a plan originally! But we ran into time constraints. I really want to have some sort of shop too if we extend this.
