What players say
I really enjoy the concept but the game feels unfinished. Thumbs up but at $10 base price this is a solid 6/10 game. Issues: 1) Poor audio mixing/leveling 2) Unexplained mechanics 3) Unintuitive, ugly UI 4) Rapid difficulty scaling 5) Big RNG component to level difficulty

Nice game, pretty relaxing, though I wish junctions were explained a little bit better in the game, what is possible and what is not. I guess you could try it all out in sandbox by yourself to figure it out. It's fun for a few hours, but afterwards you want more from the game, you are basically working as a dispatcher for trains making sure that the tracks are well connected between stations and the trains don't...
Entertaining! Some levels was quite challenging if you want to get 3 stamps, but it was fun. But, I think without time limit (like Train Valley 2) was really great advantage and make it more easier. Recommended!
