A very interesting game.

The requirements are fulfilled : the theme is indeed time, there is a train, a help screen, and some ASCII art.

Now about the marks :

Time was correctly used but not in a unusual/original way. The train is a central part of the not-really-existing scenario.
This gives us a 3/5 for genre.

The help screen is here and does its work, but it could've been improved, as could the whole game interface. The ASCII art is nice though. Therefore I'll go for 3/5 as artistic mark.
Technically, this game unfortunately only deserves 2/5.

Overall, the game is an average-good TINS entry, and can be distracting for one hour or two. 4/5 as overall score for the consistency, and the great idea of minigames.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 3 Technical 2 Genre 4

Unfortunately this game is not finished. The idea was good, but almost everything lacks.

I like the music though.

Scores: Overall 1 Artistical 2 Technical 1 Genre 1

I was impressed by this demo. Too bad it is not finished. Excellent ASCII art.

(Note : I had to fix main.cpp in order to run the game on my computer)

This game is interesting. It has a real potential to distract.

Unfortunately, the "time" rule was not implemented very clearly nor originally, which forces me to give a lower mark than I'd have liked to.
2 out of 5 for genre mark

Good drawings, but where is the ASCII art ?
3 out of 5 for artistic performance

Game correctly written but I spotted a bug when the train goes out of the screen. The interface ("place parts") is a bit hard to use.
3 out of 5 for technical perf.

4/5 overall because the game's somewhat funny

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 3 Technical 3 Genre 3
