Rollercoaster Creator

Ever since line-rider, games involving drawing have become very popular with many designers using this concept to develop new and interesting ideas. I have spent a lot of time playing the many Rollercoaster Tycoon games and was excited when I saw Rollercoaster Creator being showcased on Newgrounds.

Along with the typical task of drawing a line to get the main character from the start to the finish, Rollercoaster Creator also gives you a variety of Rollercoaster ‘parts’ for you to use. These parts include a lift, a vertical drop and a loop. As well as getting the rollercoaster trains from one side of the screen to the other there are also ‘coins’ which you must collect. On most levels there is a target number of coins you must collect in order to progress to the next, any coins you collect after this are a bonus. The game could have been made much more user friendly if it was possible to see a transparent version of the item you are about to put into place for help when positioning, I spent quite some time trying to position my loop so that it collected all of the coins on one particular level.

The graphics look great and it is obvious time has been spent making the game look as attractive as possible. There are theme park sound effects in the background adding some nice atmosphere to the game as well as a soundtrack that reminds me very much of a carnival (though the loop seems to be broken and there is a slight skip between each play).

If you have been a fan of line-rider, draw-play or any of the other drawing games, then I’m sure you’ll be interested in Rollercoaster Creator.
