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 limit, 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 at 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 left and right arrow key to increase / decrease power and breaking
• Use up and down arrow key for neutral, full power or full breaks
• Hold Shift to control track events (bottom right camera) and use the up and down arrow keys to complete the track events
• Hold Space to sound the horn when passing a "P-sign"
• Press ESC to open the escape menu

Level editor

Levels can be edited with the integrated level editor.

You can change existing levels or add your own!

If you made a level you think is fun, let me kown! I will consider adding it to the game. :)

The levels are stored as json files in game directory under
SplitTrain_Data\Resources\Levels

Further development

SplitTrain is a spare time project. I consider it finshed in terms of mechanics, but I hope, I can add new levels at some point in the future, as there are curently only three levels.

However there is an in-game level editor, so everybody can edit and create levels.

You can find the changelog here: https://tom.io/splittrain/

I just (April 6th 2024) updated the game to version 1.1, so there might still be some bugs. If you find a bug, please feel free to send me an email: https://tom.io/kontakt

Of course I am happy to receive any feedback, so please leave a comment!

If you design a new level and think that it should be included in the game, make sure to get in touch!
