SplitTrain

About

SplitTrain is a challenging reaction mini-game inspired by "Densha de Go!".

Drive a train, try to be on time and simultaneously remove obstacles from the track and sound the horn when necessary.

How to play

A basic tutorial is included in the first level (can be deactivated in the options menu), but reading this section is advised.

Score points:

As long as you drive the train within the upper and lower speed limits, points will be added.

A higher multipler will add more points, to increase it

• pass track signals at the correct time
• complete track events before the train passes them
• sound the horn right after P-signs

Stop the train at the terminal station within +/-10 meters to complete the level. Missing by some distance or time will deduct points.

Controls:

• Use A/D or left/right arrow keys to increase/decrease power and braking
• Use W/S or up/down arrow keys for neutral, full power or full brakes
• Hold any Shift to control track events (bottom right camera) and use W/S or up/down arrow keys to complete the track events
  Note that you cannot control track events and the train at the same time!
• Hold any Crtl or Space to sound the horn right after passing a "P-sign"
• Press ESC to open the escape menu

Localization

The game is currently available in German and English. The language can be changed on the start screen of the game.

Level editor

There is an in-game level editor, so everybody can create new levels!

If you created a new level, let me know! I would love to add user-made levels to future releases!

The built-inlevels are stored as JSON files in the game directory under
SplitTrain_Data\Resources\Levels

Since Version 1.2 user-made levels will be stored under 
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\tom_io\SplitTrain

Further development

SplitTrain is a spare time project. It is finshed in terms of mechanics, but I hope, I can add new levels in the future and further improving the in-game level editor is also on my todo list!

Thank you all for requesting a Mac or Web version. I don´t have access to a Mac at the moment for testing, but I plan on releasing a Web version some time in the future. This is a bit more complicated as I have to change how level files are stored, so it may take some time.

Known issues

On some multiscreen systems the game can start on the wrong screen. In that case press ALT+Enter to switch to windowed mode, then move the window to the desired screen and press ALT+Enter again!
