How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
I tried to be as close as possible to the old school feeling, blocky sprites, the colors, etc
On the secondary theme, the idea was to bring something close to Gravity or catastrophic movies on a frontier train !

Cute little game of unfolding events.  Simple yet effective.

Submitted

nice work! loved the humor. my favorite line was, "Not gonna lie, I'm unhappy." Also, did the bandit get run over at the end? I guess that is one way to stop a train. XD

Submitted

very funny and unlucky hahaha

This game has really impressed me with all the details and animations it has. It's amazing to see how everything around you moves with the motion of the train, how difficult it is to walk on the roof due to the wind, and how the passengers duck when the cowboy with the gun walks by.  Not to mention the sense of life and atmosphere the train conveys, with all its intricate details and its passengers and crew. Truly an impressive piece of work, congratulations!

What a cute game! Great use of a bunch of unlucky things happening, funny story, and nice gameplay! The graphics and environments were really well done too!

Submitted

Solid entry, Good use of varying gameplay while backtracking through the same space, Graphics are great. I didnt quite understand the ending was it meant to act like a 'to be continued?'

Submitted

It's a super polished little narrative that varies things up nicely and doesn't overstay its welcome.

The only thing I had an issue with is that I wished the enemies had the same light outline that the main character had so that they could also stand out from some of the backgrounds when they needed to. I literally didn't even see this guy the first time until he stood up and put his gun in my face, lol.


Overall a really good execution that feels quite good to play.

Great game, especially the animations — even the people take cover when you walk through with the criminal and the weapon. Top, top, top, I love this game.

Submitted

very neat!! I enjoyed this adventure, it’s well polished and while slightly too advanced for the GB, it definitely has a good mood! The palette is enjoyable too, and the audio part fits well!!

I really like the character’s animation too!! and I love all the details given in the background (like the steward eyes following the players, the rumbling with the passengers’ baggage, etc )

(also you can get softlock if you go to the tail of the train at the beginning but I guess that’s my punition for not following instructions XD)

fantastic work!!

Submitted

wow. what a great game. I really like all of it. well done!

thoroughly enjoyed this! loved all the little details like not being able to walk backwards at gunpoint, and the slow walking on top of the train. the background speed adjusting with your walk direction was very classy. great work!

Submitted

This game was recommended on the Discord and I can see why. I really loved it from start to finish. It was fun! The ending was a little abrupt, but you communicated what you needed to. Overall, excellent work!

Submitted

I like this (: the art is pretty the sounds are smooth and the story is interesting. it’s a pretty polished and flawless execution though I did run into one bug image.png where in the under train section you can go back outside of the screen but the screen doesn’t switch. Goodjob!

Developer

Oooh great catch ! I never though of going the other way while playing :/ Thanks a lot for your comment !

Submitted

Incredible execution here on so many levels. Great narrative design, compelling and simple gameplay mechanics, and amazing visuals and polish to top it all off. Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Submitted

This was great!  I really enjoyed the story.  Nice work!

Submitted

this game is soo polished !! so much stuff was done in this jam time !!!
very funny playtime i loved! feel like a movie ^^
(just a tiny note : the end after punching the pogostick leader is a bit abrupt,)

Submitted

That was cool! The movement is solid and fun, and the art is fantastic—a bit high-fidelity for a GB style, but expressive and detailed nonetheless. The characters were also fun; I'm especially intrigued by the pogo bandit!

Great work!

Submitted

Aaaw! The game is gorgeous! And the concept is really good and very well exploited!The train navigation feels clever, and never redundant (really loved how naturally the crouching mechanic was taught)! I think it nailed this classic western heist vibe!

Only thing that stuck to me was maybe that the fight scenes felt a bit underwhelming :/ Either lacked some climax or some sort of itensity.

But overall really good! Thank you for making it!

Submitted

Beautiful art. Some gameplay quirks like bullets firing after enemies died. I also think a full screen button would be helpful as I had to scroll up and down to see what was happening at times.

Thanks for playing ! And pointing out the fullscreen button, my bad I forgot to set it up, it's fixed now thanks !

Submitted

Really fun game! Love the little story and everything. Good job!
