The game mechanics are pretty simple, and the puzzles aren't very hard, but it's fun the play this game with a friend.

I love how the game was built with multiple players in mind, and that you do really need the other players to get through most of the puzzles. Some puzzles require you to crank up a friend to give them a speed boost, so they can get across a timed platform or around a moving obstacle.

Diagnosing and fixing cars wasn't really the thing I enjoyed about this game, even though that was oddly satisfying, and the match 3 mini-game was a nice touch. (And of course, watching your money increase is a lizard brain thing.)

What I enjoyed was swiping parts from my friends when they placed an order for their own parts. Though that didn't start happening til later in the game, after we used up the parts sitting around in the workshop.

Thanks for the response! I wanted to add a bit of competition between the players and the match 3 mini-game is just a way to distract you long enough to give someone a chance to steal your parts! I didn't get to test the game with enough people so most of it was theory but I'm glad it worked out. I could reduce the parts lying around at the start, but I also wanted to give the player an excuse to explore at first and try compete to gather parts. Maybe in a future update I may make it randomly generate parts and their locations so exploration is encouraged.

It's rough around the edges, but what the developer was going for is pretty clear.

It was neat to play with friends in discord voice chat, because we had 1 person manning the gun, 1 on the furnace and collecting coal, and the other 1 trying to fix things on the train.

(And it was particularly funny when the train took off without one of us, and you'd just hear them screaming for you to wait. lol.)
