About

Train Galaxy

Features
Read full description

A wooden train set that lives in your pocket. Drag track onto the bedroom rug, couple up the red puffer, and press GO. No timers, no failure — just a little railroad that does what you tell it. BUILD — straights, curves, bridges, splitters, whole towns of toys. Three rugs (small, big, huge), three lands (the rug, WESTERN LAND, THE WINTER FIELD) and four skies (clear, snow, dust, rain). Pinch to lean in. PLAY — the wind-up rug. Tip toy trains out of the tray and watch them chug, whistle and crash into each other. Crashes earn stars. CAMPAIGN — TEN LITTLE LINES. Ten pocket puzzles: build the line the ticket asks for, earn your stars. THE STORE — spend stars on liveries (SNOW WHITE, COAL BLACK, BUBBLEGUM, RAINBOW…), whistles, crash styles and model bits for the shelf. Made for small hands and long car rides*. Everything saves on your device. No ads. No purchases. No accounts. *needs an internet connection to start.
