Drive a train, forever, through a dreamlike land.

Transport passengers to their destination.

Watch the world go by.

Listen to chilled out chiptune music.

In Cab Ride you can drive thousands of different train routes through
rolling hills, winding tunnels and weaving between the tall buildings
of vast cities. You can drive the train for as long as you like. When
you're ready to end your journey, hold down the left arrow key to
announce the last station. Stopping at stations along the way means
you can pick up and drop off passengers. Try and stop at the marker
at each station for a high rating. Or don't! It's up to you.

Cab Ride is a casual train simulation, not aiming for real world
accuracy, but like a real train, it takes a while to brake. If you're
overshooting stations, watch for the alert for the next station and
reduce the throttle so you're ready to stop.

Controls

  * X - horn/start/restart the game
  * C - open/close doors at station (must have stopped just in front
    of signal)
  * Up - increase braking/decrease throttle
  * Down - accelerate/increase throttle
  * Left - hold down to announce the last station (will end the
    current journey)
  * Right - turn Express mode on/off aka Screensaver Mode

Very much excellent and good use of visuals to portray a train going
along the track. It's very surreal.

Casual train rides are VERY much my thing, so obviously I love this.
Been following the development on Twitter, happy to see it pull into
the station! :)

This makes me realise I need more chillout games in my life! I
thoroughly enjoyed playing this game, maybe for around 30 minutes
today. Such a gentle, enjoyable flow.

Thanks for the hard work!

@JimB007 - surreal definitely what I was going for

@2bitchuck - I'm glad to finish it and glad people are enjoying it

@birdwrong - that's awesome, glad you had a good time, and that it
has resonated so well.

I love it! Impressive graphics and the gameplay feels like a PICO-8
Densha de Go, which is one my favorite games of all time.

Not surprised that this is an instant featured cart.
I spent 15 minutes this morning just admiring the different
techniques and effects. Incredible!

Excellent - missing some action for my tastes, but a good "chilling"
cart with a nice atmosphere!
