First impressions <3

I really enjoy this little game 😻
The visuals are awesome. The tram feels like it has some weight to it which is great. I also love the sound design, the sounds that the cats make when the tram arrives are adorable, I also like how the sound changes as the tram travels across different structures, and also the wind at the top of the mountain.

Ideas:
1) I'd suggest that the sounds should be louder. Even at 100% the audio is still rather quiet, they should be at least twice as loud I'd say.

2) I was also thinking that if you overshoot a station and need to reverse, you should lose some points. Alternatively, reversing could be completely disabled but that may be too harsh. Or this could be another, harder gaming mode ;)

3) Stopping anywhere outside a station should also be penalized.

4) Maybe more space could be visible in front of the tram, so that the player can see the approaching station a bit earlier. I noticed the camera does this when the tram is breaking but it would be useful if the camera is a bit off-center by default.

I agree about this one, the sounds are really quiet.

About 50 metres before the station you can see a special round sign with a cross that will warn you of its approach ;)

Oh great, thanks for pointing this out, I did notice those but didn't realize what they were for 👍

Now played and realised that making the mode without reverse is impossible, because reverse is needed when going downhill to stop

There's reversing and there's braking.
Braking (reducing speed) would always be available.
But reversing (changing the direction of the entire tram once it stopped) should either be penalized or disabled.
And the meaning of "going forward" and "reversing" depends on the direction of travel: when the tram is going uphill (from Shore Depot to Summit Depot), going forward means moving to the right and reversing means moving to the left. If going downhill (from Summit Depot to Shore Depot), it's the other way around 😊

Thanks for the explanation, I misunderstood!
