Railroad Scheduler, is our entry for the Gamedev.js Jam 2023, featuring the theme TIME. The objective of our game is to plan the route and schedule a set of trains through space and TIME. To aid you in this task, you have access to TIME controls, enabling you to fast-forward and rewind time at your discretion.

This game was developed using Rust and wgpu, and is playable in the browser thanks to WASM. It is also available for download on Windows and Linux.

For optimal performance, we advise using Firefox, the preferred browser for playing. It seems that there may be technical issues when utilizing Chrome/-ium.

I like train

Cool game, wish there were more levels!

Playing on latest chrome browser... all the characters/text are messed up.

Sorry, for the inconvenience, we noticed this too. Maybe you can give it a try in Mozilla Firefox.

Interesting. On MF it successfully showed the main menu (unlike chrome), but otherwise everything seemed equally messed up. 

Strange, can you provide us with a screenshot or something. What OS do you have?

Using Mac OS (most recent update)


This is the opening sequence

Oh, that looks really strange. Sadly, we don't have a Mac at hand and thus can't test/fix it at the moment. Really sorry.

We released a patch (v0.3.1) that might fix this issue.

Would you mind testing it again?
