Really nice concept! A little frustrating when you're 1 road away from finishing your loop but I had fun! Great entry!

This is one of the strongest games in the jam, I adore it! One things I wished there was, is some feedback when I pass score or multiplier tiles, like a ding and glow or something to let me know that I just cashed in some sweet extra points! Also some tickets say that if you pass the center of the board you get X or if you pass all 4 corners of the map you get X, it would have been nice if these tiles were then highlighted by the game to remind me of the tickets and to have a visual indicator. Love the tickets on the side of the screen with the extra goals, so satisfying. Overall the design of the game is really solid, as is the music and the sound. Good job to the team on this lovely entry!

Did not expect to see a Balatro reference in a train game but was pleasantly surprised! Only after completing a few levels did I realize you didn't have to complete the loop :D

Overall had a great time with this game!

I won the game on the first try!

Great game about the theme! I notice I didn't need to make a loop and the game still progressed me - I thought this might fail me, but I guess it was allowed to make the game more forgiving, which also works out! But maybe a bonus could be given for completing the loop - maybe there's a card that does this but I never encountered it?

I liked how the cards flash outward when they are in effect.

I like how you show them at the side so you know what you picked.

I like the 'card system', it adds a layer of strategy.

I like how different cards can give you more tracks, so it adds a feeling of progression. 

Some feedback: 

At the card selection screen, I should be allowed to still hover over cards and see their effects. Since the copy card copies the above card, I wanted to see the card it would copy.

There was a minor bug where one of the red powerups spawned at the corner of a rock, underneath it, which could not be navigated to, but it's minor.

I also notice you can right click the arrow to change the train direction, but this wasn't indicated.

This is more of ideas: 

I think the game could also have progression in the map layout. Maybe even debuffs that are introduced later on that when the train goes over, adds a score penalty?

Speaking of debuffs, I think the red powerups should be a different colour, as red is associated with negative buffs, and I initially avoided it. (I played on Web non-full screened where text is displayed at a small size.)

Overall it's a charming and intuitive game, and I don't have much to critique on. The music was also pretty catchy and relaxing. Great job~

Fun concept with a lot of potential. I never looped any of the tracks as I didn't see the point. Felt pretty easy, but I'm sure that's just because the demo is short.

The idea, aesthetic, vibe and execution were all fantastic! You can definitely take this game to the next level after this game jam. Excellent work!

Great fun - really loved the music as well! A good foundation to build complexity on. I think starting with smaller levels first would work well, before building up to big loops. 

Very nice concept! I love the music! Maybe a smaller field would increase the strategic aspect of the choice of path even more. I have the impression that it works without making a loop. Very great work, congrats !

I really enjoyed the idea of adding multipliers along your track to allow players to consider their placement a lot more carefully. I also liked the variation the wildcards give to your game after each successful round. I enjoyed this a lot (and the music was great). 

I would've liked to have a tiny bit more juice when riding over a multiplier tile or placing a track down on the floor (like a small dust cloud). 

Awesome work!
