I really hope I can walk on top of those trains but still die in front of those trains.

You can walk on top of/ride the subway train to the point however it will only be a short distance. And yes the train can hit and kill you if you are in its path.

I'm working on a little short game. This is more of a dynamic music test, where the music changes depending where you are. You could compare it with the water levels from Super Mario 64. I'll share it here when I finish it, which will probably be soon because it's almost finished!

Neat. I've been dabbling with XNA/Monogame over the past month for a 2d platformer, but have only been building a game agnostic core. What framework/engine are you using?

I'm using Game Maker: Studio, nothing too fancy. I've relied mostly on tutorials for making the player movement, plus some little tricks I've found on the way, like squash and stretch effect when you jump or land. It doesn't have any enemies, as I focused more on the movement and the background music. In fact, the whole thing goes around the music. I thought of uploading the song to SoundCloud and putting a link to it in the game

Detailing is haaard

Looks like you've got a good start. Your buildings could use some trim though, and add some more little details around like crates, barrels, foliage, stains, patches, and litter to give it some more character and make it feel more used. You might want to add a some taller buildings as well, try to break up the skyline.

In the middle section of the building (where the cart comes out at the bottom), you should make sure that the cart entrance and windows are somehow centered on that face. Also, it looks like the two wings on either side of the building are of equal width - consider giving them the same roof pitch so that the full front facade of the building is symmetrical. (Consider widening one of the wings if they aren't the same width.)

Strong/yellower interior lighting could help this doorway really stand out. Thunder Mountain does this a lot.

funny thing, I did a lot of sprite editing when I was around 11 and 13 and that helped me get some sort of base, that's why the eyes look MegaMan-ish. Well, both my sprites and chiptune songs are heavily inspired by Megaman, the classic series is just awesome megaman 6 is the best megaman game
