PicoTrains

There's no confusion and delay in PicoTrains, a cosy little gem of a train management sim perfect for a tea break with a few bikkies. Set down your tracks and let your miniature yellow locos make their journey to and fro. As very useful engines, they'll earn you money along the way, allowing for more track, more trains, and even more addictively, rerouting and optimisation. I'll admit I may be more than a little biased as a train enthusiast in a relationship with the developer that resulted in a kid with a train hyperfixation. 5 peep peeps out of 5

A great mini-game with relaxing music and a very pleasant retro atmosphere !

Cute game, defo worth the price

It’s kinda hard to criticize a game that’s this cheap and minimalistic, but I think it’s important to be fair. I think it’s a simple, relaxing experience for one or two sessions, but it lacks a goal. There’s a time attack mode and a high-score system, but they feel like an afterthought. It’s the skeleton of a good idea that never saw the light of day. Even the scoring system (since your money is your score) motivates you to save money, so you just wait and do nothing for about five minutes. Waiting is not fun. I like my sine waves like I like my trains, but there’s just no tension in this game at all. If the price isn’t a big deal for you, you can try it, of course, but I can’t really recommend it.

Very cute little game! A perfect little capsule that is nothing more than it needs to be!

Great little puzzler to chill out with. Easy to get started with good in-game instructions. Satisfying and relaxing game loop.

Incredibly ingenious and well thought-out scoring mechanics! It's a simple to pick up game yet challenging to ace the optimal track configuration to balance the yield and costs. Very rewarding and chill game to play solo or fun with kids!
