The tram of wishes

cute watercolours don't make a game on their own

Short and sweet. Beautiful art style. very simple controls. Shows that the little changes or decisions we make can impact or change someone else's life. I think I had a bug right at the end where it got stuck on what I presume was the credits, (saw half of a name and that was it)

It's cute casual peaceful game. Though it's short once you figure out what you need to do, I really enjoyed it. It's sweet. The art work is gorgeous. I would love to see a series of this game.

Short little game with beautiful artstyle and music - very special experiance <3

"The tram of wishes" is a short and badly made 2D "puzzle" game, more e-book than real playable game, with some paintings of a train slapped into a game format with GameMaker Studio, the blight on gaming that it is. You play a tram driver, seemingly traversing a predictable route. Your actions are limited to accelerating, braking, and opening/closing doors. The story centers on observing passengers' desires, but the game is short and the graphics are simple watercolor drawings. And I guess when the best thing you can say about a game is that it's short, we have a problem. The graphics aren't great, very mediocre Wacom tablet style "paintings". That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other n…

It took a bit to figure out how to advance the story but once i figured it out I finished it pretty quickly. its not bad for something that is free, the watercolors are very nice and the scenery is relaxing. i wish it were a bit longer or had maybe additional levels, tasks to complete. I give it a 4/5
