Description

Build your village, one loop at a time.

Grow a little town along a circular railway. Place buildings, earn coins, and try to finish the castle before you run out of loops.

In this toy-like world, adjacency matters: place wells near fields, benches near houses, and optimize your layout to earn more with every train loop.

The Theme

Made in 96 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2025.
Theme: “Loop

How to Play

You can play with a mouse or a controller.
Note: as this is a game jam project, some controllers may not be fully supported.

Placing Tiles

1. Select a tile: Hover with the mouse or use the joystick (left/right). 
2. Confirm your choice: Click (mouse) or press A (controller).

3. When the train reaches a valid tile:

    • Hold left click or A to place the tile.
    • Right-click or press B to cancel.


Missions

Every 3 loops, you can choose a mission card.

Each mission comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Choose wisely to adapt your strategy.


Goal

Your objective is to rebuild the castle before you run out of loops.

To unlock the castle, you must earn enough coins in a single turn.

Think ahead and use tile synergies to boost your income.
