Note: Railway Racers cannot be played on web platforms due to several limitations of Godot’s “Compatibility” rendering pipeline. My apologies.

Railway Racers is a real-time train logistics puzzle game. Source code is available on GitHub — containing some of the worst code I've ever written. But, if for some reason, you feel compelled to investigate the secrets behind elusive functions, such as find_path_but_dont_let_the_stupid_train_do_a_180_and_combust() or _throw_that_pokeball_babyyyy() — or simply wish to observe my insanity growing as manifested in code comments, then you may peruse it at your wish.

This game was made for the UTS Playmakers August Game Jam, using the Godot game engine. The theme for this jam was “thee-dimensional puzzle game.”
