Feature I Would like To See Added :

Love the game and am having a great time with it. There is a feature I would like to see added.

I would like the ability to single-step the trains, or at the least a slow-mode (or both).

As it is now, with the more complex layouts, it is very hard to predict where trains will be at any point in the sequence. This kind of reduces the process of solving the route to a matter of trial and error.

Allowing the units to be single-stepped over the layout would enable a more analytical approach to the solution rather than just trying things until something works. On some solutions, I have to watch the working model to even understand WHY it works!

Thank You

There already is a slow-mode. You can press E or click on the left symbol appearing after you have pressed on start/play.

I agree however, that a single-step option would be nice. :)
I aslo suggested, that we could get an option in the menu to make slow-mode (or single-step) the default option, as this could be quite convenient in some cases IMO.

Thanks for the info on Slow-Mode. Never would have guessed that was the effect of the 'E' key. :/

Maybe i can replace my request for 'Slow-Mode' with a request to stay on the current screen after the completion option so I can review the scene without having to go through the selection cycle. :)

I agree that 'Slow Mode' should be the default and then have two high-speed options (instead of 'Slow-Mode' and 'Super-High-Speed') on the screen during a sequence run. Or have all 3 on the screen and an option (in the settings) to select one as the default.

I would still like to see 'Single-Step' added as a selection during the run. :)

Thank you for the feedback. At the moment we don't have plans to include it in our upcoming update, but it is something we have been thinking about so we will see if we manage to help solve this problem in the future.

I agree, I would also like to have a replay option to watch the carriages run through again before leaving the level for the next one. The slow mode option I didn't realise, i'll have to try it.

Also setting the speed BEFORE letting the game run should be practical. Now the level can be completed before even before hitting the E button, so to speak ;)

YesYes, please. I find the default speed to fast. I like the chill vibe and the low speed. I enjoy playing it with just 2 arrows (not the default 3). And it's kind of annoying having to start the train just to be able to change it. And then having to do it again... and again... and again... for each new level.

Another vote for the ability to set the speed before hitting play.

Actually, I didn't even notice you could adjust it *after* pressing play. I was too busy looking at the trains! I thought it was weird that there was a speed button that didn't do anything, so I came here to the forums to find out why. :)
