What players say

Players describe it as a modern take on the classic Pipe Dream formula where you must lay tracks under a time limit. The random track pieces and fast pace surprise some expecting a relaxing game, but those who enjoy the challenge find the difficulty well-balanced with new mechanics introduced as you progress. The story and humor get positive mentions, though a few note minor grammatical errors.
