Well polished and high quality as always. Love the art. It does feel incredibly difficult without the reroll. I struggled with the first level before I just rerolled as fast as I could.
Thank you for playing! Yeah the way the track piece generation/rerolling works is pretty bad unfortunately. Rerolling originally was just a debug command I added lol.
I experimented with a bunch of different solutions before running out of time and just sticking with one that at least made the game playable. I'd rather it be way too easy than overly random/frustrating, especially for a game jam.
Without rerolling the game feels to random with the pieces I get, but using the reroll, it makes it to easy :(
Other than that, I enjoyed the game. Looks good, sounds good and plays good!
Thanks for playing! Yeah I agree with you, the current way rerolling is implemented is kind of a band-aid fix for how random the tracks are that I meant to eventually replace. But as you see, I couldn't come up with a better solution during the time I had lol.
Thinking about it now, I think the game would probably work a lot better if A) you could rotate pieces, and B) each track "piece" took up multiple tiles (So like S curves and stuff). That's probably at least a little closer to a better system.
Another option could be having some sort of cooldown on the reroll button or the player have to place at least X tracks before being a to reroll.
If you do continue to work on this, another addiction could be having some pieces affect the train. Example: Slow the train down to allow the player more time to place other tracks.
Both good ideas! Maybe have the reroll timer, but make placing a track take like 75% of the time off or something like that.
Thanks again for the feedback!
