A few bugs that stop the game mid way through. If the time for each game was longer I would have given it 4 or 5 stars ### 3/5 — Interesting Game *2016-05-13, version 1.5.8* Very interesting and addictive game. Few things like a fast forward mode, messages inside game panel (instead in the top) can make it more interesting.... ### 4/5 — Fun game *2016-05-08, version 1.5.8* Requires good thinking skills. I wish I could just stop the train with the light instead of it going back and forth ### 2/5 — Interesting. *2016-05-02, version 1.5.8* Neat idea for a puzzle type game. Tracks were lagging and not being built where I drew them, however. I didn't play past the second set due to this frustration. I'm on an iPad mini... perhaps other devices will have better luck? ### 2/5 — Horrible useless slow *2016-05-02, version 1.5.8* Can't pinch out from first screen. Too slow (needs accelerator option. ### 3/5 — Kinda fun *2016-05-02* But also hard to play... ### 3/5 — Ok.Need to improve *2016-05-02, version 1.5.8* I like the concept but its imposible to zoom out,sometimes is difficult to do the curves in the ways,the sound when a new town is created is so desagradable and like a person hiting a table like saying "chop chop".And sometimes the towns generates TOO CLOSE TO THE WAYS.please fithat is a important bug. ### 4/5 — Ok but not great *2016-05-01, version 1.5.8* Fun but needs way to make trains faster ### 3/5 — Add an Infinite mode *2016-05-01* No money, just play 'til you crash ### 4/5 — Kind of tough to play. *2016-02-21* Need quick deciding brain and fingers, too bad that take your money for any smallest mistake like delaying train, and sends two trains at the same time against each other, other than that it's kind of fun. So my suggestion, make it more enjoyable not sufferible. ### 5/5 — good puzzle game *2016-02-18* love this game - totally addictive! wish it had more levels. ### 3/5 — Bit dumb at times, but possible *2016-02-07* Several months ago, I wrote this: "This game is so stupid. It actually sends trains from one station when one is still coming in another direction. Level 5 is impossible." Since then, I've beaten both level 5 and 6. So, it's not always impossible. But it doesn't follow logic. But as long as the game's not being dumb, and you are able to get all the switches/points set right, it is possible to win. Some times it's luck. One time on Level 6 I failed after only 6 of the 41 trains. The following time, however, I managed to get all trains through with no accidents. ### 4/5 — A few tweaks *2016-01-25, version 1.5.8* I really like this game. I think that the rules and puzzle elements could be staggered and explained a bit more. It Is deceptively simple. ### 5/5 — Rail dale *2015-09-26, version 1.5.6* The most addictive,infuriating, just one more try game on the IPad, brilliant! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-08-05, version 1.5.5* A great game, lots of scheduling, and if you get it wrong lots of crashes:) Good fun, easy to learn, fun to try and master. Anton the developer is always available if you have questions! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2015-06-28* I got this for my three year old and he loves it, but I think I love it more! Pretty addicted. Says a lot that it can span across so many age groups. Great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2016-05-01* Trying to lay track is a pain. Often you can't go where you a by to go. Then once it's created you can't change it. Then it will put in a switch you didn't want. Lame ### 1/5 — Boring *2016-05-01* It is boring game with unhandly control ### 1/5 — ???????? *2015-06-04, version 1.5.5* I hate this game you Don't wanna spend your Money ### 1/5 — Poor Controls...uninstalling! *2015-05-03, version 1.5.4* Pinch zoom does not work but makes lines. It is a mission to connect the first two towns let alone when you reach level 3. One of the disappointing games out there. ### 1/5 — Oh my... *2015-04-22, version 1.5.4* I understand why they gave it away - even then it was overpriced.... Stay away...👎🚫💤💀😝🔪 ### 1/5 — Worst ever *2015-04-22, version 1.5.4* Dumbest railroad game I have ever seen! Thank god I didn't waste any money on it ### 1/5 — Absolutely Awful *2015-04-20, version 1.5.4* The other reviews must be from the developers because this is just terrible. I don't mind the poor graphics if the gameplay is there but it isn't. Clunky control system, missing on screen icons and the worst layout you could imagine. Avoid (Even if it's free). ### 1/5 — Not that great *2015-04-19, version 1.5.4* The tracks don't build in the direction you move your finger or it doesn't respond to finger movement sometimes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 — Great Game! Play often. *2020-06-19, version 1.5.8* 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2016-06-09, version 1.5.8* I quite like this game. It's simple and but a little strategic and very enjoyable. Quite difficult to get past level 11 without needing to purchase rewinds. Nice way to unwind. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — A great game *2016-05-06, version 1.5.8* Easy to learn the rules but hard to master. I like the fact that the levels get progressively harder. I also like the fact that if one does have a train crash it is not the end of the game but one can get out of the disaster and continue playing. Only criticism is that the writing showing ones money etc during the game is sometimes hard to read on the background colour. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
