Has potential

Ok game, I like where it’s going, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. Hold to start building is a weird mechanic, but you get used to it. Building ON the grid lines rather than between them is very unintuitive. Would be nice if tracks could be drawn fully point to point instead of having to stop whenever you need to change direction. In its current state it’s a great free app, not worth paying to continue past the tutorial phase

Очень интересная игра. Большая бросьте к разработчику, сделайте перевод на русский, а то аж голова разболелась🥹🙏

It’s ok.

It has regular crashes and the controls are wonky. Lots of annoying popups from towns if they are lacking perfume. Overall it’s an ok game to kill some time.

Bestselling game

Better than anything

Eh

Not the best game. To much. Tutorial doesn’t help you at all.
