★★★★★ Stunning Mobile Puzzler

I historically gravitate toward puzzlers on mobile and I’m so glad I stumbled on this one. It may be one of the best I’ve ever played. Simple yet challenging and totally fun. I’m on world 4 after playing for one day. Each world has a new, different mechanic that keeps it interesting. The side challenges are quite difficult. I’ve only needed hints on two of them so far, which was after 15 min of trying each one. By the way, the hint system is perfect. The fact that hints can be activated is wonderful, which is why this game is leaps and bounds better than Cosmic Express. Plus getting a hint doesn’t really give the board away. It’s still challenging. Very well done Developer! Edit: I wrote this a little too soon. By world 5, similar to Cosmic Express, some levels get extremely difficult. The fun, quick puzzles turn into grinds of trial and error with large boards of ten+ pieces… guessing and checking with loops, passengers and train car timing. In several extra levels, I found myself googling the final solution, and realize I never would have gotten it. Most levels are quick, satisfying brain teasers. The large, complex ones aren’t so fun.

★★★★★ PLEASE add a sandbox!

Great game! Starts off very easy but the side missions are great. The main levels are starting to get very clever and tricky, too. Controls are pretty amazing, I rarely ever tap the wrong thing. It really works as I intend. My 6 year old loves trains and loves the style of this game but he can only play the first few levels. There’s a serious lack of good train games on the App Store but he would LOVE it if he could just place tiles and make them go. I don’t know what it would take to implement that (maybe even a separate app?) but that would be amazing!

★★★★★ Love it. one request.

Very fun, and beautiful design. Please allow players to examine a successful track layout before moving to the next puzzle. meaning, let me pause it after i find the successful layout and the little cars line up with the engine and chug off - so that i can try to learn more about why it worked. i don't want to just randomly try track arrangements - i want to learn patterns (like all humans, right?!). thanks for your great work here!

★★★★★ One of the Best puzzlers

Just the right level of challenge and variety. Graphics and audio are basic, but aesthetically quite pleasing. The new cloud saves are great. I haven’t gotten to the new levels yet, though the ability to skip ahead is appreciated. One issue for me on an M1 iPad Pro is battery drain is VERY high, even compared with other seemingly more power hungry apps and games. Other than that very happy!

★★★★★ Absolutely an amazing game that needs more attention

This game is one of the best logic games I’ve played. I love the complex levels and gives you a challenge. I’m not sure if there will be anymore content updates but I would definitely love it if there was. Seriously, amazing game.

★★★★★ Stuck

I have absolutely enjoyed this game. But I’m stuck on a couple of levels. Any chance you could provide solutions or hints? There are people out there much better at these types of puzzles than I am, and they can probably solve the levels without help. But I’ve been stuck for a while now and am ready to give up. Sad for me, but worse for the developers, as it limits the number of referrals and revenue.

★★★★★ What is next?

Fascinating game, with tons of mechanics and clever ways to solve a puzzle. But after I finished the whole game, there wasn’t anything to do. And i expect more content or more replay value based on the price that i have paid. There is a sandbox mod but its rather rigid. Never the less, fantastic game but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who wants a longer experience
