Fun
I love trains and railroads. This is a simple, quick reflex game. Graphics for trains are very good, background graphics are fine. A fun game for when you do not want to have to think or make too many decisions.
It would be nice
If your levels unlocked were saved when you exited the game. If it is supposed to mine surely isn't.
Absolutely outstanding! Worth the cost...
The Lite version of the game let you input your name and scores. This version is hyping a global community of game players. You can only record your scores if you become a member of that community. This is a gimmicky disappointment. Emailed the developers about this. They fixed it so it was an option rather than a requirement. And if you opt out, your scores are still viewable. I would say the developers are a very responsive team. With that, I moved on to the full version...
Give this app an Emmy! It is beautifully and delightfully conceived and exquisitely executed! Anyone who loves trains should not let this one slip through their hands. The trains, music and scenery are period and place authentic. The challenge/objective is to reach a level of play that will reveal a new train/music/scenery. I get so caught up in the overall visual affects and sounds, I forget to keep focused on the play. (Psssst... How about a Pause button so I could just soak up the scenery and the train history?)
Thoroughly entertaining. Thank you for not just throwing something at the iPad and hoping it would work. The developers embraced the technology with creativity and historical spunk!
