### 2/5 — Ads and AI

*2026-06-05, version 9.12*

Some Missions require you to watch ads for boosts, please remove them. The Ai art of the  young girl is very weird and not fitting at all please remove it and hire a real artist.

### 3/5 — Ошибка в игре

*2026-05-05*

В 1900 если сначала купить улучшение на х8000 цену хлопка, а потом х40 (или сколько там, не помню, предшествующее улучшение), то скрипт ломает цену: вместо увеличения имеющегося числа ХХХаа он сбрасывает его в ХХХТ

### 2/5 — Too buggy

*2025-09-08, version 1.79*

So many little mistakes, like iron mines being called farms. Multiple trucks not working. Cards not named helpfully. Feels unfinished.

### 3/5 — Advance to next level

*2025-07-03*

Level 2 says you need to get luxury line to 65 to be able to advance to the 3rd level (1900). I have mine at 158 and it still won’t let me advance.

### 2/5 — Slow and boring

*2025-06-12*

Overall the game is slow and boring. There are also many ads, although you don’t have to watch them you are pretty much forced to if you want to receive the gems and upgrades necessary to expand.

### 3/5 — Game not ready for release

*2025-06-08, version 1.71*

Pros: The game is enjoyable to play and has lovely visuals.

Cons: The game is clearly a long way from being ready for release and is riddled with bugs and features that don’t work properly.

### 3/5 — ???

*2025-05-14, version 1.7*

Has this game finished. Seems to have ground to a halt. Was enjoying this

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2025-05-09, version 1.7*

As with others, stuck in 1850 Bronze Age as cannot upgrade passenger line to what it wants as it says max

### 4/5 — Stuck needs new update

*2025-05-05, version 1.7*

I have same problem as others but realise you haven’t programmed another level yet don’t mind too much as have enough money to go onto next 3 levels you make once you have made them was my de-Stress game but will be looking for something else which is a shame as lovely game

### 4/5 — 2nd era

*2025-04-30, version 1.7*

Love the game but is there meant to be a farm on era 2? The Industrial Revolution, because from early on you get upgrades that increase farming profit and you can automate the farming train but there’s no farm for these to affect? Confused slightly

### 2/5 — Stuck trying to upgrade

*2025-04-27, version 1.7*

There is a task that says upgrade passenger line to 175 but it has level max at 150 so no wheee to go now.

### 3/5 — Next world

*2025-04-25, version 1.7*

Really enjoying the game but when is the next world coming out so I can max upgrade everything as my passenger zone is at 150 out of 175 if that gets sorted then it would be a five star rating from me

### 2/5 — Upgrade??

*2025-04-24*

Okay, finished level 1 and 2 but there is no level 3. Just a banner saying coming soon.
So when is soon? How long do we have to wait? 
Or is that it? Did you give up on making new levels? Did you run out of ideas or funds? 
Didn’t make enough money on all the ads??
Update this game soon, please. Otherwise I have to delete it. No reason to have a game that you can’t advance to newer levels.

### 1/5 — Ошибка в игре

*2026-07-12*

Не могу перейти в новую эру, все зоны улучшены до максимума. Прошу ответа разработчиков

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-03-06, version 1.89*

If you like watching adverts or paying to do the same thing every level then this is the game for you. Gameplay is painfully slow, but the adverts are plentiful. 

Don’t bother, watch paint dry instead. 

The only positive is that it doesn’t crash.

### 1/5 — Geht nicht mehr weiter

*2025-06-26, version 1.71*

Trotz neues Update 
Kein Sprung ins nächste Level möglich 
Echt schade

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-06-19, version 1.71*

The game itself has great potential, but only 2 levels with no ability to progress any further. The 3rd level says “coming soon”, but never comes. Find something else, it’s just repetitive and boring.

### 1/5 — Games frozen

*2025-06-07, version 1.71*

Game stops working when you advance to 1850. Needs update to continue

### 1/5 — Fun Game But

*2025-05-28*

Level one is fun and time consuming. 
Level Two is glitchy. The beginning of level Two is fun, but then once you get the mine running it starts getting glitchy. 
Some of the bonuses freeze up. And when you hit level 150 on the passenger train, it pops up to maxed BUT you need to get to 175 to get to the next era. 
So without that fixed, you will never see level three or the third era.

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2025-05-10, version 1.7*

Cool game that locks you from progressing once you reach the 2nd world. Don’t spend money on it.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-05-05, version 1.7*

Level 2 is too glitchy to use.  Excavator does not refresh properly and have to restart app once timers run down.  Too much forcing player to watch ads to gain resources to progress.  Its probably not worth trying to spend the many hours to finish this level because most of that time would be spent watching ads.  Fun is gone

### 1/5 — A screwup

*2025-05-03*

I’ve completed stage two but it’s telling me that my passenger station is not completed but it say it’s at max but not all the images are marked whaat can you do I really like the game but I’m leaving a star rating until it’s fixed

### 1/5 — Not functioning as designed

*2025-04-26*

Would be a great game to kill time with but you can’t get past the 2nd level. The game does not allow you to max out everything to proceed to the next level

### 5/5 — )

*2026-04-06*

Безумно интересная игра, одно удовольствие, принудительной рекламы нет что очень радует, залип на трое суток, желаю дальнейшего развития разработчикам, 5+

### 5/5 — Жду новых уровней!

*2026-03-27*

Игра не нагромождена разной ерундой, всё просто и интересно!Реклама есть, но ее можно не смотреть, принудительно не включается. Самая увлекательная игра за последнее время. Играю 3 дня подряд, а не 1 час, как в другие, и потом удаляю. Единственная проблема, что быстро разряжается планшет, нужна оптимизация.

### 5/5 — Обновления

*2026-03-25*

Добрый день! 
Хорошая игра, но нет новых уровней и возможности играть. Когда выйдут новые уровни?

### 5/5 — Passenger line issues

*2025-05-27, version 1.7*

5

### 5/5 — Stuck in 1850

*2025-04-28, version 1.7*

Great game, but in order to continue to the next era, I,m supposed to max everything out, unfortunately the passenger section says maxed at 150, but the missions say I need to upgrade to 175 to continue. Could you please sort this out, I’m itching to start 1900

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-01-30, version 1.3*

Engaging and interesting game that I have played in a while. Promising.

### 5/5 — Really fun, but small problem

*2024-11-25, version 1.1*

Love the game, it’s fun and relaxing but there’s one small problem that deals with the path finding of the trains. When there’s a lot of them, they take the same track another train takes causing a collision which blocks the tracks and causes a traffic jam. Is there some way to disable collisions in the game’s code for the trains so they can pass through each other or create a reset button that brings all trains back to the stations (without deleting the amounts you may have gotten saved up at the stations during the play session) or something? And to anyone who’s experiencing train hang ups at this moment, once you load back into the app, wait till (if you unlocked them and not the automated stations) the luxury and fishery trains come back to the station then send out one of your other sets (like the farm trains for instance. I usually let the medical and passenger trains out since they are automated then send out the farm or fishery trains depending on how much time the timer has left on each)

### 5/5 — Little things

*2024-11-22*

Honestly this game is probably one if not the best train idle game and if you guys add a little bit more content or bigger maps with more things to upgrade it would be literally a time waster cause you could play it forever also some of the trains get stuck and the wheat and fish stop working after like two or three gathers and never work again until I restart the app so very little things but if you want this game to grow gotta fix that stuff,other then that honestly a great asmr idle game of trains

### 4/5 — Great game but has some issues

*2025-10-28*

Overall, I love the game. However, you don’t get enough gems. Even watching the 5 adds for chests. Between upgrading cards and the costs to get auto and getting chests it’s too much.

### 4/5 — Daisy

*2025-05-11, version 1.7*

Fab game but stuck on passenger upgrade  I’m on 175 and need to got to 200 but won’t let me
