About the game
Couple Up is a gentle driving game about weight. Your little steam engine starts alone on the line, and wagons wait ahead: some parked, some rolling away. Catch each one and touch it softly. A tag above the next wagon shows the speed difference in green when it is safe, and a hard bump derails the wagon and ends the run. When everything is coupled, bring the train to a stop at the platform before the buffer.
The catch is that every wagon you add makes the train heavier while the engine and brakes stay the same. A light engine stops in a few meters; with four ore wagons behind it you have to start braking far earlier, and a marker on the track shows where you would stop. Later lines add rolling wagons that bump into parked ones, bridges with speed limits and short platforms. Stars come from your time against the par.
