    Tails of Trainspot, a Hashi/Bridges logic puzzle game, falls short of expectations due to a myriad of issues that hinder the overall experience. Priced steeply for its brief content, the game suffers from noticeable grammatical errors resulting from its Japanese translation, adding further frustration for players. The lack of adjustable graphics and sound settings leaves much to be desired, and the finicky mouse controls, a result of the game's origins as a Nintendo Switch port, only add to…

    This is a cute train track puzzle game with four mini games and a straight forward story line. The art is attractive and the characters/story are presented in a visual novel style. This game is made by a three person studio based in Taiwan and clearly demonstrates their love of the genres they are incorporating into this title. It took me about 8-9 hours to complete the game and extended it out to about 10 and a half with the four mini games. I purchased the game on day of release with a 20%…

    The game is in essence a Hashi Bridges puzzle game in the form of tracks and stations. The levels are divided over four islands, and every island has one different rule to the puzzles. At one island it could be to choose out of two abandoned stations which one to use, and another could be a station with an unknown amount of connections. It's very quick to pick up, and 3 stars on about 90% of the puzzles should be doable in the first try. It's not too difficult, but it still gives you some…

    ⭕pro Unique puzzle design, from easy to hard levels of difficulty. Cute animal characters, and interesting story. furry love 💖 Just the right length of gameplay. ✖️con Repeated dialogue cannot be skipped, game tutorial is a bit lacking. 👍Overall, it is a good game worth playing.

    A fun little train puzzler about making tracks connect to stations and drop offs and what not. Not too difficult to beat and was a pretty fun time. It's got talking animals if you are into that.

    I went into this game expecting some railway building puzzle game... didn't expect that I will get far more than I bargained for. Don't let the simple early game fool you, there is a lot more to this game than meets the eye. Good story, fun characters, puzzles and mini games that range from simple to challenging but not to an unfair degree. Overall definitely recommend this game, zero complaints and lots of fun to be had.

    Cute, feels more like a mobile game, but nab it if it's on sale. Decent "Connect The Pipes" type of game.

    This is a fun and cute little puzzler. Each level provides a layout of "stations," which are each marked with a number indicating the number of tracks that must connect to them. Stations can only connect to other stations directly north, south, east or west of them, and stations can be connected by one or two tracks. Based on the station layout, it's up to you to figure out the track layout that satisfies the required number of connections for each station. The puzzles start very simple, but…

    A pretty fun puzzle game. Each area has its own fun puzzle mechanic. My only note is that I wish mechanics mixed more in areas before the final area.

    This game has both good points and bad points. First the good points. Most of the gameplay was fun. I enjoyed the first levels of puzzles. Interestingly enough, they were broken up with creating bento boxes, making and serving boba tea and various other puzzles. That was a nice touch to break up the repetitive puzzles. The graphics weren’t bad. They weren’t stellar but they sufficed. One positive note is that it played flawlessly from my external hard drive. Most games will not. I have to move…

    Tails of Trainspot is a feel good casual puzzle game that tries to do a bit of everything to create an enjoyable overall experience. It’s another one of those games where I’m reminded of Nintendo which is a positive. The gameplay is so simple yet very effective and relaxing. There is a story with different characters and there are enough dialogues to keep you invested. There is one mini-game in each of the 4 main islands. There is also a collection section where you get to read about the…

    Very cute game with great characters and fun game mechanics. Can be a little easy sometimes, but the different game regions do attempt to shake things up a bit in order to keep it interesting. The story is pretty cool as well, although there's a few spelling and grammar mistakes from the translation which may confuse you a bit. I paid about £7 ($8.91USD) for it, and finished the story mode in about 6 hours, so I think it's reasonably good value for money when on sale, especially considering it…

    You know what I really freaking hate? When you're playing what's supposed to be a relaxing logic puzzle game and then suddenly they decide that the final levels have to be against a clock. And then they set the clock at an absurdly low time. And then they make them staged levels where if you screw up a later stage, you get booted all the way back to the first stage. And then they change the individual stage puzzles so that you can't gain from having previously completed them. Can I do this…

    Tails of Trainspot is a calm, methodical, and quietly charming puzzle adventure that blends classic logic challenges with gentle worldbuilding and a cozy sense of exploration. Developed by Poly Poly Games in collaboration with Kibi Games and published by indie.io, the game invites players into the Packan Islands, a tranquil archipelago inhabited by friendly animal characters and connected through a growing railway network. Rather than pushing urgency or high-stakes drama, the experience is…

    TRAIN GAME! Only thing I couldn't figure out is how to unlock the second to last level.

    Tails of Trainspot is a small puzzle game based of the japanese puzzle game called Hashi where you have to connect a set of train stations with rails. It is small and not that hard, but well made with well working controlls. the initial angle of view is a bit flat so I suggest too adjust it in each level first to a top down view which makes it easier to see the puzzle. I grabbed the title in a sale and I am not unhappy about it. If the price is too much for you out of sale for 3-4 hours of…

    This is a puzzle game with cute animal characters. Your job is to connect stations, based on the numbers on each station (which shows the number of lines that need to be connected to each). The puzzles start simple and ramp up in difficulty. Each island has a different puzzle mechanic you must contend with. The characters and story are okay but I was getting bored with both towards the end.

    https://youtu.be/7OkQrNAkORQ Delightful setting and characters are great, but the rather simplistic puzzle design doesn't carry the primary elements of the game.
