Choo Choo
Townfolks are popping up at the stations, and your goal is to allow them to go to their destination (indicated by color). To that end, you'll have to join the various station together with tracks, and let the trains pick up and drop them. Each of our luxury cars can only hold one person, so remember to add more whenever you can ! With more colors and stations, you'll need switches in order to direct your trains to the correct destination in a reasonable amount of time.
If you take too long, the stations will become overcrowded, and riots may ensue :(
Controls : 100% mouse. Full screen recommended.
Left button : Select your tool on the left panel, and place it on the board.
- Rails require click & drag to create a (somewhat) straight path.
- Switches can only be placed on empty spaces. The closed path will be on the side closest to your pointer.
- Trains can only be placed on tracks, and come with a free wagon !
- Wagons are added to the closest train.
- Kabooms destroy any lake/forest/montain that stands in your way !
- With any tool, left click on a switch will change the open path
Right button : click to delete some tracks or switches. Stations, trains and wagons can't be destroyed !
You can adjust game speed with the three buttons on the bottom left : pausing is recommended when things get hairy :)
Code : viri & imj
Art : Lily (kirupacana)
PLZ share your high scores ! As far as we know, no one's broken 300 yet ^^ one of our devs has a 287 :)
Known bugs :
- restarting the game after a game over with the wagon tool selected crashes the game. (fixed in future versions)
- with a station at the end of the tracks and a sharp turn just before it, passengers in some of the wagons might not unload properly (probably fixed in future versions)
- there are reports of switches rarely locking themselves out. (still trying to figure that one out as it is *very* rare and we have not been able to reproduce)

That's a pretty cool take on Mini Metro ! :D I initially had a hard time figuring out what the icons on the left represented. Especially the switches, kinda tricky to place. But with trial and errors, I quickly got the hang around it. I mostly appreciate the pause button! It really allow to experiment with rails, and give a nice pace to the game. Although the game quickly became unmanageable with only 4 stations! :D I don't know, maybe my trains and wagons weren't optimized, or there was too many people on a single station… It was still fun!
Quick note though: as colorblind, I couldn't really tell the difference between the red and green passengers...^^ While the stations look different, for the passengers it was mostly random guesses. :P
Thanks for the comment.
We are adding strips to the green passenger/station to help colorblind differentiate them from the red ones.
The game may be a bit hard, we are adding some wagons to help. The record is still at 286 with the live version.
