A Bumpy Ride

Phenomenal game, except for the terrorist who drives their train through the forest

very enjoyable

A cute aesthetic and a simple control scheme with a surprisingly high skill ceiling makes this game fun to either turn your brain off and just run trains or lock in and go for the big bucks. There are also a bunch of references and small details that add depth and charm to the world and your train. What complaints I may have are more on my end than the game being at fault. It's a cute game with a lot of charm that'll keep you entertained!

I like the premise and art style, but I can't currently recommend the game, as it's not currently enjoyable to play- For me, at least. Strike one: I can't get out of fullscreen. There is no windowed option or resolution settings anywhere in the display settings. I do not like being stuck in fullscreen, in case a game goes laggy/buggy. Unfortunately, that's exactly what this game did. Strike two: At the start of the tutorial, I lowered the frame rate + set all graphics settings to medium, to reduce lag. It worked, but it also started this visual bug that makes the entire sea + all bodies of water flicker between normal and white, when it didn't do that before. Toggling individual settings back to high did not fix it, and I haven't been able to figure it out. Other than that, the tutorial went well enough. Once I went from the tutorial to the main game... I don't think I did. Just a black screen for a long time, then I had to use task manager to stop the program and leave the game. Now, when I opened the game, a window popped up mentioning known issues with my current graphics driver and this program. It asked if I wanted to go update my drivers, I clicked "Yes", and then the game proceeded to open. locking me into fullscreen like I mentioned earlier. So, after clearing the tutorial + exiting the game the first time, I updated my graphics drivers to their current version. Most recent, can't upgrade further. Didn't get the popup the next time. Next time I opened the game, it did load, though it took a few minutes. Once it did, everything was very slow, even the cursor. I managed to set all the settings to low, but once I hit "apply", it got worse. Got fed up, had to use task manager again. There's this other very laggy game I used to play, where the player runs a toy repair shop. It gets repetitive after a while, and it's VERY laggy, but I really loved the premise, and it was engaging enough to convince me to keep going, so I did. I mention this because that game also took a long time to load in- A MUCH longer time, actually- but only the first time. When I played after that, it opened much faster. I thought the same might happen with this game, so I went in again. It did open a little faster, though it was still a little janky, for a minute or so. After that, I played through my first day of the game. Strike three: With all the graphics at the lowest setting, and fully updated graphics drivers, the game is too laggy for me to find playing it enjoyable. From the game's premise, pacing seems important, and with the current lag issues, everything is just too slow. Other players have reported lag/freezing issues, and this is version 1 of the game, so I'm just going to let this sit in my library and wait for future updates to fix this. Until then, unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game.

i find this game to be really fun to play

it's a really cute game in the best way possible, absolutely jam packed with references and interesting tidbits. I would really like lots of reverb when in the tunnels. and maybe some more map? and it is insane in the year of our lord 2026 that the game simulation is tied to frame rate, for shame!!
