“The artstyle of this game is beautiful, no doubt about it.”
“The animation of not only the train but any surrounding elements is great. I've played many games like this and have always come across some kind of graphical glitch or bug, but so far I've experienced nothing with locomotion. Credit to the devs! Sound effects and background music are high quality and overall are nice to listen to.”
