Package Inc. is an inspiring delivery simulator, created by the same developers of Traffix and Railways. This is a lite version, where you can try Package Inc. for free. If you like this game, check out the full version for new levels, surprising features, and new challenges. Both versions are available without ads. Package Inc. is a beautiful game about designing a delivery system for a growing city. Build a connection between different hubs and feed multiple destinations, like factories, police stations, cafes, libraries, boutiques, salons, hotels, pizzerias, pet shops, or schools. As new hubs are active and there is an increase in demand, you can redesign buildings’ position to keep your delivery process as smooth and efficient as possible. Speed and storage capacity are also essential to keep the delivery network running without inconveniences. How long can you keep the orders moving? Features: • Gracefully minimalist and beautiful visual design; • Learn management stuff in a never-ending fun way; • Original soundtrack and immersive experience (headphones are a must!); • Multiple goals to achieve in real-world cities; • Several upgrades (some hidden) to improve your network; • Variety of moods: from extremely relaxing to super thrilling; • Expand from a small town to a big city. Package Inc. has an evocative visual design and shares the same minimalist features of Infinity Games' previous titles. The game starts at a very relaxing pace but rapidly turns into a thrilling experience. Every game is unique because the growth is random in each city. Your success is highly dependent on the quality and speed of your decisions. Goals: • Deliver as many packages as you can; • Operate for many days; • Add multiple destinations; • Speed up delivery times; • Increase storage capacity. Infinity Games aims to provide the best game experience within its titles. We love showcasing new minimalist puzzle games and making people think while relaxing. Do you like our work?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Package Inc. Lite at none against Iron Roads's 10. Package Inc. Lite also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). Iron Roads's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Iron Roads holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 37 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Package Inc. Lite's written reviews are positive against 44% of Iron Roads's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
