Ratings and reviews

Pretty good inglenook implementation. There are a few things I'd change: The colors are a bit over saturated and it's difficult to see when a car has been uncoupled. The train is too fast and the switch locations are too small, so it is difficult to spot the car quickly. I'd also change the joystick to a fwd/rev throttle but that's mostly for cosmetic reasons.

Fun, but... I would prefer the timer start when I first move, not when I open the game. It would be less fiddly if the uncouplers didn't have to be so precise, and showed, more clearly, which direction it was set to. Lastly, why not make the motion control just forward and reverse? Good work overall. Thank you!

Very simple, controls are a little janky, but does exactly what I wanted from an Inglenook puzzle. For those that are not familiar, this is a specific type of puzzle, very popular with model railway enthusiasts, and does it very well.
