The gameplay is solid and free of major bugs or glitches, maintaining its quality over the years despite a lack of updates. Players find the mechanics easy to learn yet challenging to master, complemented by enjoyable music and a simplistic art style. However, some quirks in the level editor and a corrupted train graphic are noted.
“Even though the game didn't get an update in years, there are no bugs, glitches, or game-breaking issues. Sure, one of the trains on the unlock screen looks corrupted (ghost train), and you can do some very strange things in the level editor, but the game mechanics work just as solidly as they did 5 years ago.”

The game's stability is inconsistent, with performance varying significantly based on the player's system; some experience frequent frame rate drops and problematic hitboxes, while others report a lack of major bugs or glitches despite the absence of recent updates. Overall, while certain aspects may function reliably, the experience can be marred by technical issues.
“Buggy and glitchy; depending on your system, it seems like this game runs fine or like trash.”
“I have a system that can run Starfield at 60fps, and this game is constantly jumping between 15 and 30. The hitboxes are huge and so weird; one train gets in breathing distance on a junction, and you are no longer able to switch the junction. The timing and strategy are ruined by buggy hitboxes and annoying click registration.”
