great game, love it when the train goes by, gets really frantic quickly!
pretty neat concept! i definitely had an idea very similar to this for my game, but i went a different route. Nice job! keep following your dreams :D
Nice game! I got a score of 190, and some rat infestation complaints but no street complaints, aw yeah ! I thought people would fall there so i was more worried about fixing those parts haha
Nice game, like the stress of being a high speed metro maintenance main. Rats got out of control quick though and I'm sure a couple of people tripped over the open grates. Fun game though nice job!
Overall, a fun game. Starts off slow, but becomes really hectic very quickly. Nice Job!
A good concept, cool screenshake when the subway train goes by :D Would have been cool if was like an extreme maintenance man with a jet propelled screwdriver launcher...
Ahh… a facsimile of today's skilled workforce shortage crisis. :)
very neat. nice bit of extra affect with the train
THOSE STUPID CIVILIANS MESSING UP MY SIDEWALK. ARGHHHHHH. Hahah. Nice game!
A really fun concept and I like the micro-management but holy mother of god it is hard. I got like 14 street complaints and 22 rat complaints on my first go. I really like it and out of the game's I've played so far in Ludum Dare 29 it is one of the best
Oh the plight of the city worker! Really interesting idea, I liked how the mechanics of the top and bottom layers had just a tiny bit of a difference but it changed the gameplay a lot.
Man that guy has a busy day! Really cool and different game. I like it =)
Very cute game although it gets very hectic. I liked it though I wasn't sure if my score of 111 is good or not.
The train going by is really cool. The game is stressful in a good way. Well done!
The game is really fun. The civilians tho - they kept messing meh' up.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Really well put together game.
