Stoplights

Desperately needs some kind of tutorial, as the traffic lights are somewhat unintuitive. Watched the lil videos a dozen times but sometimes unsure what they're trying to show... Otherwise really solid framework - nice smooth graphics, music, vibe, good controls, even hits a little nostalgia note for 90s games!

Fun and addictive game. Missing some written tutorial and starting can be a bit, perhaps a lot, of confusion. But in the end fun and interesting managing game.

Only 2 hours in and I think this is my GOTY already. I love the minimalistic approach to player onboarding!

This game is fantastic. I have been looking for train orientated game similar to factorios train system for a long time, and this game absolutely itches the craving, absolutely recommended, 10/10.

Very satisfying and engaging puzzle game, with a very unusual perspective on what's fun about train track design. Trains spawn automatically and set their destination to 'nearest city that can give me what I'm looking for'. As such, the game is about choosing where to build, and creating clear sections of track by placing stoplights. (The title really is fitting, stoplights are critical to successful play.) Another very unusual thing is that there are no words in this game. Everything is communicated with objects in the game, symbols, and little tutorial videos. The developer has been really helpful at explaining things in the discussion area, so it's clear that 'no words' is a deliberate design choice, and I think it works. Getting everything rolling smoothly is extra satisfying when you know that you really have figured everything out for yourself. 10 hours in, I've played the toughest level, and I'm satisfied with my positioning on the leaderboards for today. (This includes a lot of restarts on the final level.) I suspect I'll come back to this, because the randomization in the levels is significant enough to make each attempt meaningfully different, and this is a good game to chill out to.

Great Simple game, easy to play hard to master.

The demo got me hooked. Very fun and relaxing game!

I had a really enjoyable experience with Stoplights. It’s definitely the kind of game that takes a bit of time to fully understand at the beginning, because the mechanics aren’t immediately obvious. After getting past that initial confusion, the gameplay becomes surprisingly engaging and addictive. Huge kudos to the solo developer, building something this unique on your own is seriously impressive. It’s always great to see indie projects like this come together so well.
