Ratings and reviews

there's a lot to like, but it's missing something important: the ability to have more track than is alotted for drafting solutions. even if it won't accept a solution with too much track, it'd be helpful to have extra track to think through how to use less. ultimately, I want a game mode that allows solutions with extra track, but informs the solver than they have not found the optimal solution. this would encourage players through iterative improvement & study, instead of a binary right/wrong

This is an excellent puzzle game that I am enjoying immensely. I also enjoyed Golf Peaks by the same dev team. I have some ideas that I would appreciate in the game, but do not detract from how good it is without them: Option in the accessibility menu to automatically pause after solving a puzzle before the game moves on to the next one - allowing time to analyse and re-run your solution. More generous quantity of track by default, but with an indication of the minimum needed for a solution.

It's a fun puzzle game about getting train cars in the right order with a really cute presentation. My only criticism is that sometimes the difficulty curve feels a little unbalanced. There have been some puzzles that took me hours of thinking followed by a puzzle I got in seconds. It's only a small problem though, most of the time the puzzles are just right.
