### 5/5 — Great Game!  Play often.

*2024-02-27*

I enjoy this game. It has a sense of order. I play it frequently. Took some time to learn how to play level 16. I agree with another reviewer who said it needs more levels.

I enjoy the sense of order this game has.  There is much to be explained.  The train in the bottom left corner.  After you click it, you click on some track you want to change, it is deleted and you can enter different track layout there.  I do not know how people make high scores.  It seems to have some secret way to play that is not explained.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2020-07-06, version 1.5.8*

Fabulous but simple game, once you realise the rules!

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2020-03-19, version 1.5.8*

Have really enjoyed the game.  The level of difficulty increases with each level and challenges. Loving it.  Would love more levels, but still there are enough to get on with.

### 5/5 — Nicely done

*2018-06-19, version 1.5.8*

You get advance notice of a train coming and have to route it through to its destination. You can build track and junctions easily (and delete them if you want). The game starts easy and, with each level, you get more trains and more stations. No crap. No adverts. Even a rewind option if there is a crash. Does not keep trying to sell you equipment you need to complete the level.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2018-01-13, version 1.5.8*

Excelente App pasatiempo

### 5/5 — Great train puzzle and strategy

*2017-05-18, version 1.5.8*

Playing this a lot at the moment, great learning curve and lots to think about, especially when it gets hectic on later levels.

### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2017-02-08, version 1.5.8*

I agreed with the comment about zooming however after 20-30 minutes i realized if you could zoom out this game would be super easy. Very simple game. Not one you would play in large chunks. In 4 weeks prob played it for 10-20 mins most days. Worth the price

### 1/5 — Don't Like It

*2016-10-02*

Too hard to make train tracks. And they turn when you want them to. Whole game has a clunky feel with poor graphics. Not very fun.

### 1/5 — Don't like it

*2016-07-26*

Stupid game! The video on the App Store just shows lots of crashes; doesn't help you learn the game. The first level gives you very little in the way of instruction. Tapping on the locomotive in the lower left corner makes a sound, but what does it do? Sometimes when a train is approaching a station, another one appears coming out of it. There is no time to stop either one. They crash. What can you do? There are lights posted along the rails; sometimes when you tap them and turn them red, they stop a train, sometimes they don't. Why are there gray trains? There are no gray stations. These are some of the problems I have with this game. Can anyone help? Never mind; I'm deleting it.
