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. You can get the PICO-8 cart on the PICO-8 BBS (also play in your browser there if you prefer) Controls * X (PICO-8 'X' button PICO-8 X button image) - horn/start/restart the game * C / Z (PICO-8 'O' button PICO-8 O button image)- 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 Credits Programming - Ben Jones / @Powersaurus Music - Stephen 'rych-t' Jones / Twitter / Instagram / Soundcloud Based on code from tutorials by Tom Mulgrew https:// www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=35767 licensed under Creative Commons 4 (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Made using PICO-8 More information Updated 34 minutes ago Published 2 days ago Status Released Platforms HTML5 Release date 2 days ago Rating (22) Author Powersaurus Genre Simulation Made with PICO-8 Tags Casual, PICO-8, Pixel Art, Procedural Generation, Relaxing, Trains Asset Creative Commons Attribution_NonCommercial_ShareAlike license v4.0 International Average A few minutes session Languages English Inputs Keyboard Development log * Cab Ride is released! 2 days ago Comments Log in with itch.io to leave a comment. thomasellyslawlor5 hours ago This is so wonderful and lovely, I've missed commuting and this really captures the more romantic parts of a journey - thank you!

Congrats on the release, been a long time coming Reply Powersaurus23 hours ago :) Thanks Paul! Reply SnowyCocoon1 day ago After like 5 mins, the "up" and "down" buttons stopped working. Can't see a reason why. Reply Powersaurus23 hours ago It is possible that 'Express' mode is activated. Pressing the right arrow key enables/disables it. In Express mode, all other input is disabled and the train drives itself. I'm making a note to make this work like announcing the last stop, where you hold down the left arrow key, so it is more difficult to accidentally end up in that mode. Thanks for reporting this :) Reply SnowyCocoon4 hours ago Thanks for your reply. Maybe it was the case, but I think, that I was trying every other button, to try, to gain possibility to control the speed again. But it is still possible that I just activated it and couldn't turn this mode off.
