This is an alpha demo build - the core gameplay mechanics are in place, but there is still substantial work to be done. It serves two purposes: one as a demo to show off what's being built, and two as a way to get feedback from all of you - any feedback will help shape this into a better game.
Controls: WASD, arrow keys, or click and drag to move the camera, everything else is mouse or touch controlled.

Interesting concept, will check out the demo.
Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks for sharing.
Tried out the Android version.
It's a solid gaming experience, it's fun to build out your little town and upgrade your railway.
The demo only had the first two town levels; for solid gameplay you would want more fleshed out features and content in the subsequent town levels.
The Android version was decent, although the UI/UX needs some tweaking for mobile (would work great on PC).
Thanks! Yeah, the subsequent levels are underway, I figured the first two were a good representative chunk for a demo. And definitely noted about the Android UI/UX, the near term plan is to add user-configurable UI-scaling, but it might need a little more than that to make a truly good user experience there.
