### 5/5 — Noah

*2025-03-08, version 1.3.5*

Good and great game

### 4/5 — Suspicious

*2024-10-26, version 1.3.3*

Before I got the chest I was at 3.7 million dollars and after it said I got more than 1 million dollars but it stayed at 3.7 million dollars and it only allows you to watch 0-1 ads for rewards

### 1/5 — Can’t open the third track.

*2024-07-22, version 1.3.3*

Just as the title says.

### 1/5 — Ads not removed & game crashes after 2 track

*2024-05-30, version 1.3.3*

So I got this game it’s been a lovely game to play but I bought the remove adds bundle £2.99 and it didn’t remove all of them. After I finally got the money up to buy the 3rd track I am not able too it won’t let me do anything! Either sort it out or give me a refund!!

### 1/5 — So many BUGSSSS!!!!  🤬😡

*2024-04-12, version 1.3.3*

I love the game but I finished it in 1 day. It won’t let me unlock the third map. It won’t let me watch any ads to get the roller coaster. It says on the first map that it is maxed out when I don’t have all 30 trains. Please fix these bugs or else I will have to write more one star reviews and bring your star average down. 😡🤬

### 5/5 — Michael mom

*2024-03-03, version 1.3.2*

This is the best game I ever played

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-03-03, version 1.3.2*

Paying no ads don’t work

### 1/5 — Can’t unlock third area

*2023-10-23, version 1.3.0*

This is a fun game, but I can’t unlock the third area for the trains. I see this is a common issue so I’m hoping it’s updated and fixed. Need more levels!

### 2/5 — Can’t go any farther

*2023-10-13, version 1.2.0*

Can’t unlock lvl 3

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-09-01, version 1.2.0*
