The simple to use touch controls make it a joy to create train lines and diorama, then watch the trains run through your custom worlds, even in first person view.” “This is a great little app. It is fun and simple to play. Almost like having one of those small wooden train sets. Easy assembly of the tracks and just drag objects to the water boundary to remove. This is a good game for little kids because there are no in app purchases, settings, feedback, connect Facebook, etc.” ABOUT OUR APPS Our range of Kit apps are designed to allow children to create fun immersive worlds to explore.
