★★★★ Snake Eyes 5/7/2026 v1.17.0
After you play for quite a while and you get up to the different era's you're gonna come to a dead end.Where if you don't want to do the repetitive events, you will not be able to get any more missions.So thus, you won't be able to continue unless you spend money on the current era engines. currently, i'm locked out of any more missions because I don't have enough 1960's engines to do the heavy haul.
★★★★ Paul Kenna 5/6/2026
forced to click install as the ad took over my screen. instant delete. way to intrusive.
★★★★ tom gashgaranian 5/4/2026

After about the first 2 hours, you are REQUIRED TO WATCH ADVERTISEMENTS OR TO PAY REAL MONEY TO PROCESS FURTHER, no exceptions. I'm not joking; they block it completely. Developer of this game, you should make it optional instead of making it compulsory.
★★★★ Ayush Mukherjee 5/4/2026
very boring
★★★★ Tibor Janik 5/3/2026 v1.17.0
🤦‍♂️ idiots covered half the screen with the task screen. how stupid of a mistake is that
★★★★ Vijayasaravanan Govindaswamy 5/2/2026 v1.17.0
very poor optimisation. Smartphone overheats within 5 minutes of usage even with the lowest graphics settings. This game will degrade your battery faster. Progress gets halt as there are not adequate power parts available as we progress. The game depends only on power parts, rest of the other parts are pretty much useless
★★★★ Aleksandar Kolev 5/1/2026 v1.17.0
worse than #2
★★★★ Roger Haskins (Nighthawk) 5/1/2026 v1.17.0
ridiculous. i have no more places to transport people or goods. what junk a week later snd still no new tasks or people to transport.
★★★★ E W 4/30/2026
I downloaded this app due to my love of trains, and then immediately started being served it's ads with AI slop fake people. Deleted, alongside their other apps.
★★★★ Gary Hicks 4/29/2026 v1.16.1
My game won't update. Please help!
★★★★ Sourav Chatterjee 4/29/2026
why is this game not compatible with my device???
★★★★ Shripal In Germany 4/29/2026
Broken update Game doesn't launch after updating to v1.17. They also purposely discontinued running the iOS version of the game on Apple silicon macs
★★★★ Bobby McDaniel Jr 4/29/2026 v1.17.0
This game is hard. expensive. Beware of the very short duration of the tycoon pass. Only 2 days to complete current Tycoon pass. It ver difficult to complete in little time. developers lying. this will never be free. you must spend lots. of money to play. it's 15min. 6hrs waiting for gas & repairs of trains.
★★★★ Mauricio Martinez 4/29/2026
nice graphics, just another money grab game, all the games are the same now, i rather just pay for it once and then enjoy it and be creative. My second train never showed up after i sent it for wood, Uninstalled, thank you.
★★★★ Adam Schipp 4/28/2026 v1.16.1
Don't waste your time or money. Bugs galore, and developer doesn't respect the players enough to respond to messages or address all the known issues. Reported the same bug for over 6 months, still not addressed and developer doesn't respond to any messages. Only responses are automated messages and nothing ever gets fixed. Anyone who reads this, don't spend your money on this game! I'd give 0 stars if I could, the devs are that bad.
★★★★ Chris 4/26/2026
lots of ads
★★★★ naam achternaam 4/26/2026
has multiple bugs that prevent you from progressing anything (it blocked everything) I could not do anything so I arrived to troubleshouting. I saw my bug+ several others , the solution: contact support to fix the part where you get stuck had to contact support. but when you go to contact support you just get an AI that tells you to contact support(it just reads the result from troubleshooting=> known bugs). so contact support AI tells you to contact support. great 👍.
★★★★ Ryan Mirrielees 4/25/2026 v1.16.1
This game is very misleading with tbe advertising and videos.... Its nothing but a grind and delete kind of game. The warehouse doesnt hold enough materials in order to be sufficient with leveling up, you get to see the trains travel for a whole 2 minutes goes into a tunnel and magically it gets to its destination its not realistic at all, then hardly any money or experience points for completing tasks, tasks way too long for repairs on trains and refueling, in game purchases are misleading too.
★★★★ Richard Aytoun 4/25/2026 v1.16.1
doesn't fit on my screen
★★★★ Markus Daxamouli 4/24/2026 v1.16.1
im troubled. I've bought $250 of extras..and watch them evaporate as the special events one by one didsapear with all the investment in factories and products and production. it leaves me not ever trusting the game. it has been fun and part of charm but removing what I invested time and $ in is wrong/unethical. I WILL REMOVE ALL ADVERTISED GAMES and will stay away from PIXEL. We expect trust. It seems with me,and perhaps others..you have a problem. removing invested/improved assets is theft.
★★★★ Ryan S 4/23/2026 v1.16.1
Can't build sawmill good luck finding a way to get ahold of customer support it just puts me in a loop of troubleshooting...
★★★★ Mo 4/20/2026
worst game ever nothing original and its not about trains ...very misleading
★★★★ W C 4/20/2026 v1.16.1
can't get a hold of support.
★★★★ Ric Veenhof 4/19/2026 v1.16.1
the tutorial is absolutely horrible. I plan on the games and I can't follow this tutorial. not to mention that almost every icon you push in the game wants you to buy something or watch a video. I highly do not recommend this game.
★★★★ Andrew DeCarlo 4/19/2026 v1.16.1
can't build sawmill. stuck at start of game.
★★★★ jason sizemore 4/18/2026 v1.16.1
the fact that u have to click on ur energy instead of automatically refill is just stupid!
★★★★ Ian Phillips 4/18/2026 v1.16.0
For the second time in a few weeks this game has crashed and wiped itself from my pc and once again I was progressing through the levels. No more!
★★★★ stuart waller 4/17/2026 v1.16.1
I've had an issue for a few days that affects how I'd like to play the game. I've reached out for help which has been dreadful and I'm now being ignored in that way. I'd like a full refund of the money I've spent please.
★★★★ Travis Hummel 4/14/2026 v1.16.0
fun game but it has a major glitch. everytime I watch a video to double rewards for train upgrades, I never get any of the rewards. needs to be fixed!!
★★★★★ Og The Dog 5/1/2026 v1.17.0
This is yet another of the Pixel time waster games. The game itself is better than Trainstation 2 but the long incessant advertisements are too much to bear. There is no option to pay for a 'pro' version so one must endure the agonising long (up to 3 minutes each) advertisements. If you want to play an idler game the there are plenty of others that consist of a lot less ads. So do yourself a big favour and bypass this one. It is so, so painful! 🤬🤬🤬
★★★★★ Scott Scheibe 4/29/2026 v1.17.0
Can't do anything with out paying, warehouse is always full and am thinking of uninstalling it.
★★★★★ Pyrio Vinccini 4/27/2026 v1.16.1
There's a Glitch in This Game That Has me Stuck with a Task to Build a Sawmill Which I've Already Completed
★★★★★ Trace Maples 4/19/2026 v1.15.4
The game was fun at first but you don't have enough fuel to do anything without paying and watching ads is not an option as they are not available most of the time. this makes it really hard to progress.
★★★★★ John Santos 4/19/2026 v1.16.1
Painfully slow; You get about 30min of game play and then have to wait hours for your fuel to come so you can continue. Devs want you to spend money right of the gate to do the most basic parts of the game like upgrades. This game has so much potential that is completely shat on due to never ending micro transactions. Very predatory 😞
★★★★★ Albert Charron (Seydon) 4/16/2026 v1.16.1
do jobs and time management, fine. Having to buy stuff all the time (pay to win)? Awful idea... I paid twice and I regret it... Uninstalling and will find a game from a less greedy developer.
★★★★★ Tom woodward 4/16/2026
fuel generates too slow after the first 5mins playing you then have a 50min wait for more fuel way too long, takes the fun out of it really.
