Well, it is what it is I think. Oddities: You're not building a complete high score, simply the most money left in your bank account at the end of time. What this means is that its most efficient to play as little as possible over the time limit. Weird choice. It's also easy to trick yourself into thinking this is tiny metro or something-- it's not. The key factor is making your routes take the 6.5s or whatever exact figure it is to enable the station to recharge for the next train, and not to overlap enough to cause it to miss a drop. It's an odd mechanic and a weird system, but it's a dollar and the Pico is a cool idea. I don't think it's bad, it's just that it's not exactly the most engaging mechanics for a game. The music loop almost killed me by the end. Wish it had a little more variance. Overall, functional, cute, more or less half an idea executed in an odd way. If you like the Pico8, why not.
i enjoy this kind of game even if it's short and sweet. manage your expectations - you essentially replay to try and top your earnings from each 20 minute round. you'll probably be finished within an hour.

A great little game.
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
Cute game, defo worth the price
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!
A great mini-game with relaxing music and a very pleasant retro atmosphere !
Perfection in a tiny Indy title. I love 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.
