Just the right mix of simplicity and complexity
Simple to grasp and gradually becomes more complex in its solutions as it drags you in. Challenging but not frustrating and let's you build each level towards completing it rather than forcing you to start from scratch each time as so many games seem to do.
the trains are always on time
I'm glad I broke my rule of never downloading apps which haven't been updated in the last year. This puzzle game has a simple premise but is one of the most well-designed games I have seen. The tutorial explains everything clearly and with examples. This is a great app for children and adults to flex their mental muscles. I'm buying the pay-for version as soon as I'm done with these puzzles!

Simply satisfying
A great way to exercise your grey matter. The beauty of this puzzle game is its apparent simplicity which actually exercises more of the brain than you realise.
It does this by gently increasing the tasks needed to solve what the mind still sees as a simple puzzle (get from A to B). Without noticing it your mind is thinking of 2, 3, 4 or more things at once as it calculates track lengths, colours & timing etc & it builds at a gentle pace.
A great little puzzle that will have you coming back again and again!

Great graphics, concept, and execution!
Harder than I thought๐ณ
I think this is a great app to keep your mind active if you need to waste some time. At first I thought this is just too easy & predictable. But then I actually had to start using my brain. I was gonna give it 4 stars but gave it 5 for originality.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
A very intelligent logical thinking game
Wow, this game is totally awesome. The difficulty is built up by layering on different 'bells and whistles,' so to speak, with each next level. There is a logical trick that you need to 'get' in each level and then you must engineer the solution so that the trains hit the right places at the right times. Hats off to the guy who made this game. I play a lot of logic-oriented games on my iPhone and this is one of the best I've encountered yet.

Top marks!
For anyone Who enjoys puzzles this is likely to become a favorite. It has a great progression and simple mechanics that add up to increasingly challenging scenarios, but without becoming near impossible. I loved watching the trains play out my solutions and was even rewarded by my own little sense of accomplishment upon solving the tougher puzzles. Download this game and enjoy a satisfying time that may lead you, as it did me, to recommending this game to others.

Addicting and Clever
At first this looks just like any simple and fun game that only keeps you interested for a few minutes. However, after those few minutes, a new quirk is introduced, making the game slightly more complex and much more fun. Keeping you in front of the screen striving to solve puzzle after puzzle, Trainyard EX will leave you amazed, astounded, and a little more clever than before.
Kudos, seriously.

Fiendishly addictive
Matt Rix must have been tearing his hair out trying to work out all these perfect puzzles for our enjoyment! The amount of twists it adds to the central idea would be confusing as hell if not for the superb presentation and ability to test your tracks at any point, forming your solution piece by piece. A brilliant puzzle game.

Utterly Occupying
I love the nature of this game. The rules and the marshaling of options within them. Similar to Minesweeper or Sudoku in the necessarily logical solution using a number of dimensions. My only problem, and it is big enough to lose a star, is that it isn't colorblind friendly. The reds, greens, oranges and yellows really throw me. I think if you made them more intense they would stand out and I'd see the difference in lightness and darkness which is how I usually tell when I can. Once I acquaint myself with a new set of colors in a game or whatever, green is lighter than red and orange is much lighter and yellow lighter still. Purple is lighter than blue. Usuallg but not always. That difference isn't even present here to be learned. But other than that I love it.
