Our take on Trainatic
Focusing on one expanding train gives the game a clear progression loop, but limits its scope to car upgrades, resource gathering, unlocks, and synergies rather than a broader set of gameplay systems.
What is Trainatic?
Trainatic is an incremental train-building game focused on expanding a train over time.
Upgrade its cars, gather resources, and unlock new cars as progression continues. A skill tree offers another way to develop the train, while synergies combine upgrades for additional effects. The train grows from a small engine into a larger machine that can clear the screen, with progress tied to traveling farther down the track.
