Ratings and reviews

Definitely a very minimalist design ethos, built on the aesthetic of any number of railway maps. Might not be for everyone, but as someone who's been in love with public transit as a concept for years, it serves a very specific interest. That said, not as easy to get into if you're not willing to try and fail a few times, as there's not much of a tutorial. I see why some are critical, but I've had a great time watching my trains go about their schedule.

5 stars for style, 3 stars for gameplay. Visuals are perfection. The generative soundtrack is wonderfully creative, when it isn't stuck on a dissonant chord. Early and mid game is fun, but once you get deep enough into a game, the only way to really improve your score is by pausing and moving trains to full stations manually, which undermines the fun of designing a good system. Overall enjoyable for a few weeks, but the game is generally less fun the better you get

A fun game with lots of stages and optional achievements to satisfy the min maxer. They also have their own real leaderboard instead of the often hacked Google play ones. I don't enjoy the music though. I get that it's based on events happening in game, but it sounds chaotic and random.
