Trainyard is a puzzle solving game unlike any that you've ever played. It's easy to learn but very tough to master. Your job is simple: get each train to a goal station. Red trains go to red stations, blue trains go to blue stations, etc. You control the trains by drawing track for them to follow. There isn't a time limit or even a score; the only thing you need to do is figure out a solution for each puzzle.
The first few puzzles are almost too easy, but as the difficulty increases you'll be thankful that you were able to practice the fundamentals of drawing track. As the game progresses, you'll have to use colour theory to combine trains of different colours, use timing to merge and split trains, and use every inch of your brain in your quest to beat the game.

8 of 25Please for the love of god update this app. I wanna play it so bad. I started playing this app way back in the day.
This game is simple in its design and seems way to easy- at first! It hooks you with the ease at first and gets progressively harder on each level. I progresses thru a number of cities before I got one that was absolutely hard to figure out. I put it down for a few days and came back to try again. Eventually, I got it figured out and have moved on. I have not finished all levels yet, but look forward to the challenges. This game is unique and does not disappoint! Highly recommend, five stars! Update: 05/10/21- Matt, if you are still out there, it would be awesome to get this game updated to the newest iOS! I think I heard somewhere the ‘engines’ used to create it are what don’t work with the newer iOS. Have you considered rewriting the entire game? There are obviously so many of us that love this game, it’s a terrible shame to leave it hanging, and unusable! Please update it!
Great game but only can i play from my iPad 2 😭
Please update this game! I love it! It was my favorite iPhone game and now I can’t get it because of the updates and new phones! Matt Rix, please, please bring this game back! I check on it now and then to see if it’s still unavailable. It’s very addicting and very challenging! Never get bored of it!
This is one of my favorite games but I sadly can’t play it anymore! Please update! PS - I would be willing to pay more to play it again. Thank you!
So much fun, please update! One star was hopefully just to get someone’s attention.
This game is so much fun I've been playing it since I was about seven now I'm 15 and still love it. But this game could use an update it's been nine+ years since the last update came out and it wasn't much more levels would be fun and would keep me occupied longer. I would recommend this game to anyone this is one game that doesn't have AD's every two seconds this is a great game. If you are still alive Matt Rix, Please PLEASE!!!! UPDATE THIS!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. Sincerely... -Johnathan White
Count me among the other reviewers pining for that update that is “coming soon.” I typically check back on this once a year or so.
