Train Misconductor is a railroad switching puzzle game, inspired by model railway shunting puzzle layouts like the Inglenook. You operate a modern steam engine on an alien planet, moving cars between sidings, navigating more &amp; more convoluted railyards--all while keeping your conductor sane!

Train Misconductor is a pixel art railroad switching puzzle game, inspired by model railway shunting puzzle layouts like A. Wright's Inglenook Sidings and J. Allen's Timesaver.In the Train Misconductor demo, you operate SLYM #11513, a modern Advanced Steam Locomotive on the alien planet Gymnome, to shunt trains between siding tracks in tightly packed railyards, while minimizing your move count and time so as to hopefully keep your Engineer and Conductor-Brakegoo's spirits up.Are you ready to be an alien railroader? Yes? Good.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Welcome to Planet Gymnome</h2>Sorry about the mess. You see, a global oil crisis has just befallen the planet, and as a result diesel trains have had to be replaced by modernized steam engines. No matter; there's still work to be done, lots of freight to move. Big articulated steam engines shift thousands of tons of freight all across the planet's railways. But that's not your job. Your locomotive is a switcher, tasked with shunting cars within a single rail yard at a time. Sometimes you're building trains for other crews, sometimes you're servicing industries connected to the railroad, sometimes you're just cleaning up after the last train crew who didn't do their job right! Either way you've got your work cut out for you, many of these yards have rather tight and complex track plans which make maneuvering your cars across the yard quite the challenge!Each level in the Train Misconductor demo is a new railyard at a different station on the South Lymer Railway (SLYM), a 3.04₆ glip (1096mm) narrow gauge line with several industries to serve. The demo contains about an hour of gameplay.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Demo Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Physics based train simulation with momentum and slack action.</li><li>Simple controls mode (forward/backward) for casual gamers.</li><li>Advanced controls mode (brake, throttle, reverser) for railfans or those looking for an extra challenge.</li></ul><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Seven levels with about an hour or so of gameplay, just enough to get a nice taste of what's to come!</li><li>One playable locomotive: the &quot;Foresight&quot; Advanced Steam Mallet Tank Engine, a small modernized steam shunter with electromechanical controls.</li></ul>
