Features
Read full description

A little train. A long adventure. Pick up passengers, grow your train and outmaneuver rival locomotives in Train Rumble, an arcade train game with solo adventures and online multiplayer. Chase your personal best offline, race across 10 circuits, or compete online in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and free-for-all matches. Choose your train and colors, complete daily quests and collect rewards. Explore green valleys, deserts, rainy landscapes and snowy worlds. Cloudy Greens brings drifting clouds, Midnight Storm lights the night with headlights and warm lamps, and Swamp Lagoon lets you skim across water in an inflatable hovercraft. Each of these three worlds unlocks for 50 rubies, the in-game currency. Glide over frozen lakes in Winter Pines, drift on ice and burst through snowbanks. Changing rain, snowfall and recurring blizzards bring the worlds to life. New music accompanies races and snowy rides. In the Garage, choose separate paint colors for your hovercraft and seasonal rides. Holiday worlds and their special rides are available during their event windows. Play solo offline; online matches require an internet connection. Some worlds, trains and items require in-game currency. Energy is used to start rides and recharges over time.

Train Rumble's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 35 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
