I'm a sucker for a train game so I was keen on this one right away!

There's a great ramping up of tension as the area you've got to navigate around gets more and more complex. Lots to think about with all the different track pieces too!

I saw this game and got sooo excited for it! I don't know why this hit some nostalgic nerve I didn't even know I had! Great game, so unique. Loved it!

At first I didn't understand how to create corners, but once I got it I had a blast! (:

Cool idea but putting down the railtracks isn't intuitive, anyway the concept is cool, i like the art and the music

Even after installing .NET core the game does not runs. (ThinkPad X220 Windows 10)
