More about this game
Your goal is to connect every starting station to its matching finish line before the countdown ends. Tap wooden rail tiles to rotate them into place, and spend limited wrenches to fix broken tracks. As you progress through 30 levels across three worlds, you must manage multiple intersecting routes and navigate around obstacles like rivers and mountains. The timer starts at 24 seconds and scales with complexity. If a train derails or time runs out, the run ends and you must restart the level.
Tips
- You have between one and three repairs per level depending on the world, so prioritize fixing tracks that are absolutely essential to the route.
- Use your two hints per level if you get stuck; they will automatically rotate or repair a crucial tile for you.
- Finish the level quickly to earn three stars; you get a second star for finishing with more than 22 percent of your time left, and a third for more than 52 percent.
Questions
What happens if the timer runs out?
When the timer reaches zero, the trains will automatically depart. If the tracks are not fully connected, the train crashes and the level fails.
How do I get more wrenches?
You are given a set number of repairs at the start of each level, starting with one in the early levels and up to three in later stages. You cannot earn more during a run.
What do the different colored stations mean?
In later levels, you must manage multiple trains at once. You have to connect the blue start station to the blue finish station, and the red start to the red finish, without the tracks crossing improperly.
