Description:

A short game made in about 10 hours for xkcd game jam in November 2017.

You jump'n'run on the roof of a train, which moves (through?) the world in a game about reference frames (and trains). Collect the coins and avoid the 8-balls, while you pass landmarks on your way. Or stop the course of the world by stopping the train...

The game jam: itch.io/jam/xkcdgamejam

The Comic: xkcd.com/1366/ and explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1366:_Train

This is a game jam result, so some Things are rough and unfinished by full awareness.  And it has no sound. Maybe I'll further work on this.

Tribute to Randall Munroe's work.

Probably not the best place for it, but I didn't manage to find other way to contact you. Just wanted to report that I checked your latest game, Rogue of 5 - seems nice, especially use of BLT layers for *attack animation*... But I can't use stairs :( also, game crashes on exit.

Best regards,

Ved

Hi Vedor, thanks for feedback, really helpful. I opened the comment section at Rogue of 5 now.

The stairs are a bit weird regarding the keys plus I am operating from a German keyboard, maybe try backslash and shift+backslash. I'll fix it in a second to make it clearer and use a non-symbol key (like "a").

Does the game crash upon exiting from the main menu or from the dungeon to the main menu?

THX and best regards, Jan
