### 4/5 — Charming

*2021-02-06*

This is not the kind of game I usually play. i.e. play ‘til you die. But I love trains, and the game is very well done. However you can’t really train harder; there needs to be a training run that allows you an extended run at a given speed.

### 2/5 — Screen

*2021-01-30*

No fullscreen for the iPhone X

### 4/5 — Directions included

*2021-01-27*

I'm very much not a gamer* and one thing that irritates me no end is not knowing HOW the game works. Is it obvious to most of you what controls mean and how to move around games? It's not to me therefore you can't understand how happy I am to see explicit instructions. 

 * I own scores of game apps but can't figure out so many except adorable simple (often Japanese) cat games, geography and vexillology ones.

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2018-04-02, version 1.2.1*

Can't play your game in the new iOS because it is "too old". will you make any updates?

*2016-03-11*

Nice idea but not fun to play. The game is far too fussy about pixel perfect touches. Deleted after 20 minutes

### 4/5 — Simple & addictive

*2016-03-09*

If you have this app and use it, don’t update your phone to iOS11. App will no longer work 😬

### 1/5 — 하이고 의미없다

*2016-02-02*

진짜 시간 많이 남으면 하셈 근데 그나마도 노잼이니까 차라리 잠이나 자라

### 1/5 — Che noia!

*2014-07-16, version 1.2.1*

Il design inizialmente la fa sembrare interessante, ma poi si rivela terribilmente noiosa. Cancellata.

### 1/5 — There are better games for hand / eye coordnation

*2014-07-15, version 1.2.1*

There are better games for hand / eye coordination, this is very boring and makes me wonder how this app is so well praised.

### 1/5 — Kotu

Berbat

### 1/5 — Noiosa

*2014-07-13, version 1.2.1*

È troppo noiosa 😕

### 1/5 — Saçmasapan

*2014-07-13, version 1.2.1*

İndirdim açtım ve sildim. İğrenç bir oyun. Saçma sapan. Ekrana basıyorsun ağaç koyuyorsun falan. Ne alaka çözemedimde. İndirmeyin.

### 1/5 — Sem graça!

### 5/5 — Clever, unique quick game

*2021-09-19*

This is a cool game when you have a few minutes of down time. It starts relaxing and gets very difficult to where you can’t keep up, but you want to keep trying again to see if you can get a bit further. For the good price and no ads or IAP, it’s a good deal for a game you can play a few minutes here and there. And the art is very cool. Totally worth the download.

### 5/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel! ❤️

*2021-02-02*

Ich Liebe es und kann es nur weiterempfehlen. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

**Developer response:** ❤️

### 5/5 — This is a great game! Question, whats after 999999999?

*2021-01-21, version 2.3.2*

This game really unique for its really calming music in the background and the “Find the difference” concept with the lives  and the stations you pass to get more lives and speeds up every time. Its very interesting and fun to play. With all the really unique parts of the game makes it really unique and fun. Theres also one thing I’ve been wondering is whats after 999,999,999? Overall, I love this game..

### 5/5 — Please update this app

*2019-03-11*

I loved playing on this app. But it doesn’t work anymore with iOS 11.  :(

Update:  the app has been optimized for the latest version of iOS. Very happy to resume playing!

**Developer response:** Hey, we updated it to the newest version of iOS. Have fun :-)

### 5/5 — 10/10 would train again

*2019-02-03*

Great soundtrack, great art, and a great time killing concept! The game is a great way to kill time, and can also be very challenging!

### 5/5 — Un juego muy entretenido

*2018-10-11, version 2.3.2*

Tengo este juego desde hace mucho tiempo y nunca me he aburrido de él. Es un juego capaz de darte horas de diversión sin mucho esfuerzo. Realmente recomendable para pasar el rato.

### 5/5 — Update!

*2018-01-03*
