Key Features
- Physics-based tension: The ropes stretch and sag based on where you anchor them. You have to account for the pivot points.
- Unstoppable momentum: The trains carry massive weight. If your barrier is too flimsy, the engine will just punch right through it.
- Limited supplies: You only get a set amount of rope per level. Waste it on the wrong pillar and you fail.
- Varying vehicles: It starts with small cars, but later levels throw heavy locomotives at you. The hitboxes feel a bit wonky sometimes.
