As much as I like this game, I have a concern. It seems that you dont have any way to save game progression on cloud. So when i wanna switch device, it almost guaranteed that my progression would be lost. Would you devs provide a solution to that?

This game started out well. I found a bug that gave me a lot of money some time in, and then the trains broke and basically half duplicated in such a way that the game became practically unplayable. If the train bug (and the offline money glitch) is fixed, I might reinstall.

I have been playing for about a week now, and I already notice some small bugs that affect the gameplay, first up is when I try and schedule trains there become 2 panels of the same train so when I leave the modification screen for the timetable my planned trains go back in the inventory. Please fix this. And also I have another but where if I close the game and reopen it the passive income glitches and says I've been offline for 177 days when, in reality I've been of for like 20-30 seconds.

It's a typical Idle game. But fun also to pass the time. Only issue I got. Once you completed the Station. There isn't any more stations to build. So money becomes relevant as you can't build any more on the station.

Downloaded the game about 1.5 weeks ago. For the first half I did Free to Play. I did have some issues where the ads stopped working, but I enjoyed the game nonetheless. I did end up getting the season pass (I put money to the side for phone games, they keep me sane during/after work) and the "skip ads but get the benefits" thing. I have "finished" the game, other than collecting all of the trains. I love it. It's relaxing, and I love the sounds of the train sounds. Hope there will be update.

It's a good game. I do have a problem when I first load in into the app it gets stuck on the game developers screen and I have to open it and then close it to log in. This then affects the money collecting after I haven't been online because it says I haven't been online since a few mins instead of hours.

Alright game. Kinda neat, but it tries to get you to pay absurd prices for way too little. Additionally, as a completely Free 2 Play guy, I didn't get anywhere near enough trains to combat the constant "overcrowded" status by the time I got every upgrade. And I had nearly two rows filled for 4 different cities and almost a row for a 5th. Lastly, there's literally no point to playing after getting every upgrade. It's either shell out money or wait 2 hours for a single shot at MAYBE a new train.

I've completed the game. After spending about 5 months playing this game here's the gist of it- Pros: great time filler, collection of trains, runs like a standard tycoon, ample things to upgrade Cons: SLOW paced for earning money, the tasks are out of order locking you into a task that clearly is intended for the "end", there's no description of how to maximize your money (and trust me there is a way to do it), every other click prompts a option to "pay" for no ads. Overall the game is a 3.5/5

Been playing for about a day. Is the game capped at 6 trains, or is my game bugged? I will unlock new trains and they just won't appear. What was the point of unlocking the second platform when you can only have the same amount of trains? Offline money doesn't work, freezes on start up and requires a restart. Also kept telling me it needed updated, when it didn't? Other than these, it's an okay game, but I don't envison myself playing for long with these issues

Really fun. No forced ads which is great. You can decide to watch ads for incentives though. The only issue is that sometimes after being offline for multiple hours, when you get back on it will say you were off for only 2 or 3 minutes, so you miss out of all of your offline income. Would like to see better metrics, for example my ticket sales can be 1000 people/h and the flow is 2000 get there's no line. Also would like a more fun way to schedule trains. All in all ita a fun game.
