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)

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)

I absolutely love this game! Its so relaxing and easy to play. I did purchase to remove the adds and i havent been able to stop playing it constantly since. I definitely think there are some things that could be added to make it better thats why i am giving it 4 stars. Some ideas i had are i think that there should definitely be more islands but the thing i think would be most interesting is an auto button or something. My thought is the train could automatically go around the track 1 time and stop. You would have to tap the screen to make it go back around again or just a button to click one time to make it go around without stopping as an option for those who want to keep making progress but need a break from touching the screen for a just a minute. To make the train stop moving by itself you would simply just tap the auto button a second time and it would stop moving on its own. Leaving you the option to hold the screen or a self moving train.
