Fun game! I got 33 rides Here is my feedback/feature wishlist

I like LMB to build, RMB to delete. very simple but a hold to drag and build would be a nice addition

Also I wish for these features:

  • Zoom in/out
  • During the ride phase, able to switch b/w attached view or static view. Im multiple round in, map is huge, with many turns on 3x speed its starting to get dizzy looking at the ride…
  • On mountain/lake hover show the affected areas (i assume its a “+” configuration and not corners, but visually would be nice
  • See where the half way point is in the rail (for that half way 2x bonus)
  • Maybe a summary in the end of how the bonuses were calculated would be cool
  • Does the rubble tile do anything? maybe have that as an eye sore debuff (-x% to multiplier) to have players avoid it
  • Start in build more right away, i have to click on the build icon every time the build phase starts. Also demolish button not very useful since i can right click. Maybe instead of the buttons make them info icons with the controls.
  • Game stops expanding at around 30 rides
  • Show current bonus information better instead of very small on the left side. I want to be able to at least hover to see what i have.
  • Show how many tracks will get next turn. Maybe next to the track count add something like “+12/round” and if you hover that it would show all the bonuses contributing to that like
    • 5x +1
    • 2x +2
    • 1x +5

Thank you for the huge feedback!

No problem, tho one more thing: is the map hand crafted? imo should be proceduraly generated with each run then being different (or at leas the option to play on a hand crafted map or generated one)

the map is random, though the randomizer needs work

Awesome game! I got the +5 rails per loop upgrade the very first round, which made things pretty easy. I completed 21 rounds

(+1)

Very good game!

(+1)

Very fun game, one problem though, I got his bug after a few rounds when it just zoomed in and did nothing when I clicked embark. I saw someones elses comment who also had this bug. Anyway, super cool game!

Hi can you please tell me what browser you use and if you have hardware accelleration on? (unless you played on the downloaded version)

I use Brave browser and I checked and I actually do have hardware acceleration on. Hope this helps!

Thanks! this will help in hunting down the bug

(+1)

on round 2 when i started the ride the camera zoomed in and then nothing happened, the graphics are still bouncy but nothing is moving 

(+1)

this happens every run

It's a very rare and odd bug and i'm having trouble to replicate it. Did it happen consistently every run?

yeah

nvm it works now idk what happened earlier

Can you tell me what browser you use and if you have hardware acceleration enabled?

(+1)

chrome, no

haha got to 11 rides! But somehow I don't know how, I got some weird multiplier, before I couldn't get past ride 4! I couldn't understand the +10% bonuses for some reason, like if i have 10 passengers it should add 1? but it didn't look like it works that way

(+1)

Yeah the upgrades aren't working correctly right now, Thank you for playing though!

(+1)

it's really fun tho, is it going to be updated?

(+1)

yes, i'm already working on a balance update, and probably a content update some time later
