Have you ever wanted to conduct trains? Well... Now you can! With the upcoming app titled Train Conductor, you tell trains which track to go to.
To move the trains, you must touch it and then drag to the train's specific track. You can tell what track it belongs to by the numbers on the side of the train.
There are two modes, one mode is the day shift, you must keep trains from crashing and get them on the correct train track. The next mode is the graveyard shift, you guide ghosts to the correct path.
The graveyard shift is my favorite shift. The ghosts move very fast and there are multiple on screen at once. The ghosts can go through each other to get to their track.
There are four different enviroments in total; Alice Springs, Cairns, Sydney, and Melbourne. The different places increase the difficulty of the game.
In Alice Springs you have the easiest of three tracks, Cairns you have four tracks, In Sydney you have five tracks and long Gold Rush trains, and in Melbourne, you have five tracks with one broken section appearing in a different location with each play.
In the graveyard shift, the new levels bring on more tracks and a skull train. You must make sure the skull trains arrive at their destinations. If they crash, Game Over.
This game is Plus+ enabled and come packed with plenty of acheivements.
Overall, Train Conductor is one of those apps you must get. It will keep you intrested for hours and hours. If you don't get TrainConductor, you are missing out on a great game.
