Train Trouble

Last updated on 15th May 2024

I made Train Trouble for a Nokia Game Jam. You can probably tell from the color and control schemes. I love the experience, though. It's challenging to make a game without any text or voice acting...

You play as the guardian of a moving train; refueling and cooling it, while also chasing bandits away. If you've seen my other games, you've probably picked up that I avoid violence as far as possible. I want to make wholesome games that my kids can enjoy. I rarely step out of this restriction.

Having said that, this game features a shotgun, which the player uses to chase the bandits away. I was careful to animate the bandits riding away (instead of meeting a grizzly end) for this very reason.
