What players say
Players describe TrainFormation as a free student project that adapts board game mechanics into a tense arcade puzzle. The core loop of placing hex tiles ahead of an accelerating train is easy to pick up, and reviewers mention procedural generation and altitude rules add difficulty, though one encountered a wall of water that made a level impossible.
