Rails of Ruin

This game was devloped over the course of 11 weeks between February 1st and April 12th 2025 for the Nerve Centre/Screenworks NI Game Development Academy, in collaboration with Kippie Games. It was also presented to Hypixel Studios on April 12th.

I developed it solo as part of the GDA, all programming and assets (including art & music/audio) was made by me, except Generic-Train-Images (not ™), which was sourced from Pixabay.

WARNING: I highly recommend you play on the downloadable version instead of the web version, as the web version is full of unexpected issues. Not to mention abysmal performance. Why? Because web versions suck.
