Rail Recon

Ok, pretty much 1st impression after playing the 1st 7 lvls... Gameplay: Pretty simple, collect diamonds, shoot turrets and other enemies on or beside your rail track while avoiding traps or activating rotators, doors, etc. Controlls: Keyboard + mouse or gamepad. I have tried it with the earlier pair, WSAD movement, mouse aiming, left click to shoot, right click to activate your shield when you have the energy to do so. Graphics: Nothing extraordinary, still pretty good for this type of game. Textures are nice and simple, no screen tearing, effects are all in place... Tho its a bit strange that it eats up my Rx580 100%... So far i have only noticed 1 thing that can affect gameplay later. Enemies comes trough doors. These doors have animation, so you can expect an enemy to show up when it opens, yet on the 7th lvl, doors just close when the enemy shows up, so your timing can be totally off when to shoot that direction. Game is free, so its only a minor problem for now. If you want some fun now and than, and dont wanna rush trough fast, then i can only recommend this game. Heck even if it would be 2€, i would still buy it.

Played it on Twitch ! I really like it, please people, play it, I love this concept. There is more to do, and Im waiting forward that ! The game is too tiny obviously but its your first game, cant complain into that ! It's free, it's good, it's their first game, what do you people wait ?

Recommend or not recommend? Definitely a not recommend. Yes, the "game" is free, but then again, you can also complete it in about 10 minutes. It's a glorified student demo. Yes, the program works, yes, you've got a functioning product, but I just don't see a reason to play it or even offer it on Steam. I get it, the developers want to get some exposure, etc. And I mean, the game IS free, so whatever. My review would have been really negative had they charged money for this. There are also no micro transactions or other fees hidden inside the game. And as I've said, it can be beaten in less than half an hour if you die a lot and in maybe less than 10 minutes if you don't and just speedrun it. The gameplay is extremely simply. You're in some sort of vehicle on rails. There are two types of enemies: other vehicles on rails, which spawn continuously and rapidly, as well as stationary turrets, which do not respawn. Apart from that there are walls/doors that and rail switches that can be activated by shooting or are on auto activate. Your goal is to collect x energy cubes lying around in the level and get to the level exit to open it without dying. And you die instantly, in one hit, but so do all enemies. Your armaments are a rapid fire plasma gun or whatever as well as a shield that will lose energy when used and can be recharged at shield stations. It will also massively slow you down, but you are impervious to all damage. The controls are a bit finnicky, since you're on rails, switching directions is only possible at intersections, but as you can imagine you can't quickly change directions. You basically have to stop and then move into another direction the rails allow you to. This makes the gameplay in itself rather irritating and boring. A rails shooter only works imho if you don't die in one hit and your use of offensive and defensive abilities as well as your trigger finger determine whether you win or lose. Here it's more of a cat and mouse game. I can see the appeal, but it's just not executed well enough to be called a game. Like I said, it feels like an early semester student work. The AI is also quite non-existant. They will spawn and shoot you. They don't really pursue you, they don't really get behind cover and they bloody well just ram you when you're shielded. Only their quick and heavy spawn rate makes them dangerous. I'll say this though: Good job on implementing check points. I hope you continue developing and I don't want to criticize you harshly, I just don't think this is something that should be on Steam or should at least be in a separate category and not in the regular games list. Even if it's free.

am i the first one who finish it? Kappa the game is good but its short and only two levels is hard and the rest was easy for me if there were more levels and hards one, it will be great but it still great game, thanks veld for creating this game and sharing it with us <3

This is a very nice small game, that offers an enjoyable, puzzling experience. The pros: - Fun puzzles that have a nice relaxing feel, and give a sense of accomplishment on completion. - Fluid movement and shooting, that adds to the whole puzzle element of the game. When you flow from one rail to the next, moving between rotating rails with good timing, it feels very slick. - Nice clean art style, with fancy lighting. - Nice music that suits the puzzle elements of the game. The cons: - The difficulty curve is quite nice for most of the game, however it suddenly jumps up at a later point. - The use of many enemies masks the fun puzzles during the later levels in my opinion, which frustrated me. - The enemy bullet visuals mix with destroyed enemies occasionally, making it hard to see what killed you. I also had a few framerate issues at first, however these were solved after fiddling with the settings in the nvidia control panel. Overall this game seems like a well-polished experience. If only there were more levels!

很特别的游戏。 Awesome game.

Holy moly, what a great game to play. Actually really enjoyed it, glad it was free, but is probably worth a bit of money if new levels are added and some minor things are fixed and changed (music continuous rather than broken up on each new level). All in all a great experience, I had difficulty finishing the game, eventhough I am obviously such a godlike pc gamer. Thank you
