Build a train track to solve digital circuitry puzzles! Flippy the Train rides the rails, flipping switches to model basic digital circuitry: NOT, AND, and OR logic gates. After building these basics, reuse them in larger tracks to create the more-complex XOR gate and half-adder. What is the fewest number of track segments required to build a half-adder? Includes a sandbox mode for creating arbitrary track for Flippy to ride.
Cargo Bloom
A relaxing railway puzzle game where you route trains to deliver cargo and build a growing town. Manage switches and production chains to meet delivery times and expand your valley.
- Satisfying short puzzles
- Train routing with switches and signals
- Growing production chains
- In-game boosts
- Unlockable wagons and locomotives
- Daily rewards
- Offline play

Tap the switches, send the trains, and watch a little valley grow. Cargo Bloom is a relaxing railway puzzle. Every level is a small map of track, switches and stations. Your trains pick up logs at the forest, take them to the sawmill, and carry the planks to the houses that need them. Get the right cargo to the right place before the clock runs out. You start with one train and one switch. Soon you are running several at once, turning raw cargo into goods, and every building you finish stays on the map as the town grows with you. FEATURES • Short, satisfying puzzles you can play in a couple of minutes • Switches and signals: you decide where each train goes, and when • Production chains that grow from one sawmill into a whole mountain works • Boosts for tight moments: Full Steam, Stop the Clock, Master Hands and Full Tanks • A garage of wagons and faster locomotives • A daily streak that pays coins and boosts • A Guide that collects every material, workshop and building you meet • A Game Center leaderboard: see how far your friends have come • Plays offline No ads during play. Short optional videos give you extra coins or a boost when you want them.
