Very good

There are few rail games as well put together as this. It is a really good game. The controls are pretty rubbish - laying and deleting rails is a bit of a pain, but that’s my only criticism. I really like it. If you enjoy logistics and planning and optimization and so on you really should play this.

Can’t play on iPad, UI issue

Still on the first step of the tutorial. I can select the Platform button, but cannot drag or place it in any way.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear that. The 0.7.10 update we just pushed improves track/platform drawing controls quite a lot, so there is a good chance that will fix your issue. If not, please email the support address on this page, and I can narrow down your issue and get it fixed!

Paid game masquerading as free

If it’s a paid game(for most basic function of town sustaining, perfume can be bought using money to unlock the game), it should be mentioned in the bio or game should be paid upfront. Scam

One of the best games ever

Got the game and I’m obsessed with it, from the struggle of making sure everything arrives on time to to expanding. Very challenging but it pays off once you do it perfectly, to the creators, I hope you bring more because I need more. Fantastic game

Delightful game

Spent about 10 hours tinkering around to get the hang of things. Loved what I experienced so far.

UI Buttons are Broken

I’ve been playing games for years—decades, even—so trust me when I say this isn’t user error. I can’t get past step 2 of the tutorial, which is simply placing a track. Step 1 was zooming out, and that’s essentially all the game lets me do.

My entire experience so far has been repeatedly trying to place a track, failing, and being able to do nothing except zoom out. The controls feel unresponsive and nonfunctional. The dev made a comment on Reddit about this, but seriously, was no play testing done?

Response from developer

Hi, I'm sorry about this. This bug occurred on iPads where specific configuration options wer set, and unfortunately we did not playtest on any set up in that way. It is fixed in 0.7.5 though, and we'll be sure to check it in the future!

The game is not working yet

Ipad air 11-inch (m3). IpadOS 18.6.2
The button positions do not match the display; you have to press 2 centimeters above the button itself for the press to be registered.
The buttons at the top of the screen do not work at all.
There are also constant crashes.

Response from developer

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear this. There was a bug that could occur with iPads in a certain configuration that caused the mismatch with positions. This has been fixed by the 0.7.5 update. 0.7.5 also fixes a number of crashes. If you still have trouble after updating, please email me using the support link so I can get it fixed!

Unplayable

Brought the full version of the game only for it to crash every time I unpause.

Response from developer

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear this. There was a crash that could occur with certain layouts with 0.7.4. We've pushed out the 0.7.5 patch and it should hopefully fix it for you!
