This is lovely and the very thing that pushed me to finally get a Playdate, after looking forward to the console for so much time. Waiting for it to ship then this is the first game I'm going to buy!
Just my two cents by looking at gameplay videos: I believe the spline system driving the train/camera is not smoothing the corners correctly, the motion feels twitchy.
This is so much fun, I absolutely love and adore this game! Totally worth the purchase. The art and the voice lines, the smooth mechanics and crank implementation, it's all great. Still haven't gotten the "zero zero perfect stop" yet, but I've gotten close with zero time and 4 cm distance! I WILL GET IT! XD One suggestion I have for future versions would be a RTC (Real-time clock) using the device time (similar to Bloom) for the NOW, and calculating the according ARV time. Even if this was a toggle in the settings I think that would be amazing! Or maybe even just something for the free mode? Also for that it would be cool to have a version of free mode with the stops and speed limits that either keeps looping, or goes back and forth :) Also a reset button! Definitely having a blast the way it is though and can't recommend it enough!
perfect match. Vooce game and platform.
Can't wait to play this! Always been curious about the Densha de Go games but the language barrier always ruined me. Seems perfect for the Playdate
Looking forward to this!
Can't wait to see this
Hype.
A Densha de Go for Playdate? Count me in! I love it. I had this idea as well some time ago, but I'm glad to see someone beat me to it as I had no thoughts on how to implement. Can't WAIT to play it!
