Simple yet polished! My only critique would be the respawn menu being buggy which is mentioned by other people, but I'd love to see more from this game!

I really like this concept, the mechanic is really cool! However, I think the fog is too strong, the skeletons appear so suddenly and there's not much time to react. Also the buttons in the Game Over screen don't work.
I still really liked the game! Maybe you could expand it further, adding more enemies and the ability to rotate to the bottom too, have you thought of that?
Cool game!
The gameplay idea was novel what with the rotating pole the cart could go on. The atmosphere was also really good, with the combination of the ambient sounds, the darkness, and the graphics. I feel like the jumpscares kind of ruined the atmosphere of the game though, although maybe it was just the sound effect
It isn't clear that you need to hit the skeletons, I assumed I needed to avoid them and didn't understand why I was dying.
Speaking of which, the respawn screen is really buggy. Every time I died I encountered a bug where the replay screen would pop up and I couldn't click on it or anything, but I could still play the game in the background. The game also started lagging and stuttering a lot when this happened.
Overall the game has a nice atmosphere and some cool ideas though
Really nice viewpoint and I liked the idea of a jumping train killing skeletons. A quick set of controls on the itch.io page would help when you first join in.
p.s. love the smiley face xD
