It is so cute... ahah I love the sound of passengers talking. Didn't really understand how to properly balance the train's speed, but it was funny. Good job.

Love the graphics You used!
Super fun game! lalalalalalalalala was the best part! 10/10 for that :D
Anyway. The graphics were amazing, and the track was beautiful. The gameplay was smooth. Good job. The concept was pretty cool as well. Congratulations and Good Luck!
I love helping passangers, so much fun :D
Fun, relaxing game. Too bad you set the speed to 200, I want to go fast :D.
I was having the blast for the past 15 minutes! Great job. The game was simple yet fun, music was chill and didn't disturb at all. The only issue is that I would implement some sort of visualisation of machine level, so I knew how much they were upgrades, there was nobody in a restaurant wagon and you could give a guard some more love :D In terms of difficulty it could've been a little bit harder. After 8th day I could shovel the coal all day and drive 200km/g. Anyway, hope you guys have a nice day!
I just spent way more time playing this than I meant to. Really wish there were more upgrades and more variety, but this was really well done! The efficiency felt a bit strange, though. It just went up until you hit max speed, and felt like I wasn't really balancing speed and efficiency.
The gameplay was simple and easy. I really enjoyed playing it! One of the best games by far.
I absolutely loved it! My favourite entry so far! I love the graphics, especially the time taken to create scenery and a good train, I really liked the gameplay, and the sound was great as well! I feel as though this entry really reflected upon the theme well. My only critique would be that after a while it seems like it's impossible to lose if you know what you're doing and it becomes a time issue when wanting to get a high score. But other than that I loved it, I stopped after day 14 because it seemed like I've practically beaten the game. :P

This is a nice game! I loved the music and the sounds in particular. I didn't noticed that the coal was to be bought each time to refill our stock (silly me). Keep it up guys!
I like it. Once you have everything the game doesn't allow you to do much, but still - very good entry. I did work up to like day 8 or 9. It seemed always the same after.
Keep up the good work.
This game is awesome!
Sound, graphics and lalalalala made my day! I feel that this game stop being challenging after day 10, on day 13 I do not know what to do. What about this machine upgrades? If they are not infinite than there should be some response to that fact (levels, something).
Keep going - it has great potential!
Great game with adorable graphics! I tried to get to 200 Km/h but just couldn't. Is it possible? I love the sound for people talking!
nice game! very fun and innovative
Thank you all for your comments! The feedback is really appreciated:)
We know the game is too easy at the moment - we did not have enough time to really balance it and decided to make it too easy rather than too hard, so that everybody can unlock the restaurant and first class. Of course, this also means that it (now) isn't very important to check efficiency.
Of course we also wanted to expand everything - build more upgrades, add different trains and different regions, as well as adding more gameplay elements (playing a minigame in the kitchen and serve food to the customer for example) etc. - but time was limited as you know, maybe we will expand it in the coming months and make a "real" game out of it :)
@tj-reynolds It is indeed impossible to reach 200 km/h at the moment, although this was the limit we wanted to implement. That's because we changed the acceleration-mechanic very late (before the change speed suddenly went up instead of getting faster over time) and didn't realize that 200 km/h is now unreachable :)
Thanks again for your feedback! :D
Nice game. Simple visuals but doesn't look bland. I like those buildings in the background. The music is really nice. The game mechanics are simple yet fun.
I really liked this game. Everything in this game was absolutely amazing and fun. Good Job :)
Pretty good idea. I enjoyed it
Neat game! Well made! I liked the audio and that its based on a train, how fun! Got bored a little early, but overall a well made entry.
Awesome idea! I played for a long time, but I think it's very simple
I had blast playing your game! I like how it’s really simple at first but gets harder from just by simple fact that your train gets longer. I just wish there were more upgrades and stuff to buy, but great job getting all this in. And everything works really smoothly. One little nitpick: at first I didn’t understand that those boxes were the engines. Maybe differentiate them from each other and make them more “engine like”. Otherwise amazing job!
Great idea ! I loved the game-play , but , from " day 4 " , the game started lagging and my computer heating up . Other than that I liked the RPG style and animations !
Wish there was a Mac version :/
Nice concept and good sound, and music. At the current state the game kind of flat out after day 10. It would be nice to have some kind of end game. Also I have found an issue when i click the spacebar to perform an action at the end of a route, and the game skip the shop menu. Other then that great game!
