Train Conductor

Have you heard about Train Conductor yet? It’s a terrific, new app that falls into the “traffic management” game category. The idea is to match numbered trains to their numbered tracks. You do this by tapping and dragging your finger to move the trains from track to track. You’ve got to be quick. If the trains collide you’ll have to begin all over again. You will earn points for successfully delivering trains and you will lose points for sending them to the wrong track. The game has five locations (all in Australia) and as you earn experience points you are able to unlock them. There is also a “Ghost” mode which you takes place at night. The ghost trains do not collide but they also do not stop and they move quickly. I actually enjoy playing the ghost trains more than the regular mode. I think it’s the not crashing thing.

Train Conductor is easy to learn but tough enough to master that you’ll find yourself coming back and back. It’s one of those games that appeals to adults as well as kids. Younger players will probably find it frustrating because the pace is quick but older children will enjoy it. The game is Plus+ enabled which means there are special achievements to unlock and you can keep track of your progress through their service. Visit the Plus+ website to learn more, I know my description isn’t doing it justice.

I love Train Conductor and if you read the reviews in the app store you’ll find I’m not alone. Everything is extremely well done – from the game play, to the graphics to the music. Terrific, terrific app.

What I Do

I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
