Our take on Locomotion
Rather than using trains mainly for transport or management, the game turns railway equipment into the puzzle language. Wagons, switches, turntables, magnets, and fans form a chain of spatial problems, while the journey shifts from frontier landscapes to alien territory and space.
What is Locomotion?
Locomotion is a cartoon railway puzzle game about recovering gold stolen by an alien.
Players move wagons, operate switches, and solve increasingly difficult layouts across western scenery, ruined areas, icy terrain, and space. The puzzles use more than a dozen mechanics, including a magnet for moving a wagon onto a switch. Switches can alter railway devices such as turntables, while fans can propel the character toward the next level. The game combines environmental puzzle solving with a story about loss, vengeance, and unidentified flying objects.
