I downloaded this game through Tester Buddy, and I love it. I have been playing for a few days, and It’s the cutest game I have seen so far. The train runs along the tracks with saw blades on the side, cutting through the resources. Here and there the whistle blows. Collect the resources, and upgrade the saws, capacity, and speed of the train. I have learned a few things though. The boxes with the perks… eg. Watch the add and get 2x coins for two minutes. I clicked on the box. I don’t know if I actually did get the 2x coins, but what I got, was swarmed with ads for about 15 minutes. I don’t click on them anymore. You will collect TNT on the tracks while riding around, but use them wisely. Anything you blow up, you will loose those resources. Go into the shop every 24 hours to get the FREE chest. It will contain clothes, and a cat. The clothes protect you from the lightning and fireworks, so keep upgrading those items. The cat gives you a little extra resources. As for a lot of ads, I played for over an hour, sometimes longer, and saw two ads.

I’ll start out by saying that I did pay to get rid of ads, and I do wish they had more variety of islands because they just keep cycling over and over again. BUT! This is one of the most soothing and relaxing games that is still so satisfying to play. I’ve found that it really helps soothe my anxiety at night and can even help me fall asleep just watching the train go around the track constantly. Every time I play this after I’ve gotten comfy on the couch or settled into bed (or while taking a little break at work 😳), after about 5-10 minutes I find myself dozing off while my finger is still on the screen and the train just keeps going. You don’t need to watch ads to advance and enjoy the game, but I do think it is very worth it to pay to remove ads. You will still have to watch ads to get power ups, but it is not impossible to play without the power ups! This might be too simple of a game for people, but if you find yourself needing something to do to just unwind or occupy part of your brain while listening to a podcast or something, this is a great game for that! (I’m giving 4 stars just because I think there could be some more landscapes added, and maybe even a couple that are symmetrical all around for extra satisfaction)

This game is simple and repetitive. While at first that might sound negative, it isn’t. I find the simple gameplay and sort of rhythmic movements of the train to be really soothing, which makes it perfect for my adhd-addled insomniac brain that craves stimulation even while trying to fall asleep. The shockingly few ads (and ability to play offline) definitely help too. I’ve downloaded games that are supposedly made for the purpose of being soothing/relaxing/satisfying that wind up having the exact opposite effect when my chill game is suddenly interrupted by a super loud ad that startles me and makes my heart rate spike. Overall I really enjoy the game and think it’s very good at what it does (the only exceptions being the rare crashes that lose me a few minutes of progress at most, ultimately a minor inconvenience imo)
