This game is fun, if you want to just waste a bit of time with something where you don't have to think that much. Point, shoot, repeat. Problem is... there's not much to the game beyond that. Compound that with a super invasive tutorial of sorts which you simply can't disable, and some very sensitive controls... and you've a game that's not really worth the money. Sure, like I said, it's fun at times... but other than that it's just frustrating. You can fully expect to spend a majority of your time in the game fighting with the controls, fighting with the tendency of the 'tutorial' to freeze your controls to show you something new (regardless how much you've played) and difficult early levels that will just frustrate you to no end. Just not really worth it for the long haul, and no real replayability.
I had a lot fun with this game, great concept and good execution, just wish it was longer. At 2-ish hours to beat and about 1.5 more hours to 100%, this really is a short one. You run a train that you load up with guns, some controlled by the player some AI towers. You shoot at well designed ground an air enemies and enemy towers. Map design was decently varied. I loved the concept and the gameplay in general. There were some flaws though. The mouse aim had a tendency to skip if I moved my aim quickly, especially if speed boosting. The first boss fight was a little frustrating, felt like I had to grind early levels too much for cash. The biggest problem I had is the length. Now the game is only $4 and I had a ton of fun playing it. But if you just play the game start to finish, there's only like 2 hours of content here. In about 3 hours I ran every level at least twice, got every mail collectible, and got every achievement. I could probably spend half an hour finishing every optional objective, but I found some too frustrating to bother with. And there's no real reason to replay outside of that. I still recommend the game at full price, and strongly recommend it on sale or in a bundle, but only if you're cool with a very short experience.
Saw this posted years ago on plebbit (garbage website now, stay the F away) and added the game to my wishlist. Years later I finally bought it. Super fun literal rail shooter. A little confusing at first but easily figured out. Why are you reading my review still? Buy it already ya putz.
SLMEPHI[GER] hat eigentlich ziemlich alles gesagt was zu sagen ist, darum spare ich mir Details. Grafik ist für die Art von Game ok, Bedienung alles in allem erstaunlich gut durchdacht und Steuerung kann man nicht meckern.Nur die Zwischensequenzen finde ich ehrlich gesagt stylemässig bäh und völlig überflüssig. Da man sie aber netterweise (Danke an den Entwickler..) übergehen kann, ist das auch weiter nicht schlimm. Kurz zusammengefasst kann ich mich dem Urteil anschliessen, dass 4 .-- für das Game OK sind. Klar kann man für den Preis kein Wunder erwarten, aber für den Preis eines Kaffees 4 Stunden Spiel Spass geht absolut in Ordnung.
It's a short game with a simple concept that remind me of an old flash game I forgot the name of. The game isn't really hard, but there's 5 task for each of the &é levels that add extra challenge. There's also some collectibles that give some stories from that world too. They're pretty easy to find. The only downsides I'd say this game has is that its pretty grindy if you want to 100% it. The story is nothing to write home about, the graphics are also rough, and the voice acting was probably made by the devs themselves. That's really it. For a game made from an expanded game jam idea (the collectible tells you this), this is pretty great. It's pretty reasonably priced too. If you got some time to kill, this game's pretty neat
Short and sweet - looking forward to if they release more levels. The game takes about 2 hours to fully complete, but is completely worth it. I'd love to buy a full length game with this concept. Hit one bug where my engine lost its speed upgrade, other than that it ran really well.
Nice game for some easy fun
Very nice on-rail shooter with some minor tower defense element. The graphics, music and voice acting ( The few time there is. ) all fit very well together. Not much strategy to the game beside switching weapons and which weapon you put on your "towers" wagons. Get more money to upgrade your train until you are strong enough to overpower the next stage. If you want to shot things without thinking too much it's great. Short but the low price make it worth a try.
Tumbleweed Express is a fairly unpolished game, but it's innovative and has good 3D design. Most importantly, it's fun. It feels like the devs made a game that was fun for them, and that passion shows. The gameplay is engaging, but not particularly balanced, with a few minor bugs.
Short but fun. Reminds me of those old flash games from before steam became as big as it is now, but in 3D. But like I said, short. You can easily clear it in just a few hours. It's fairly easy too. Throughout the entire playthrough I only lost one car and that's only because I wasn't paying attention. But it's still a neat little arcade rail shooter.
