## How to play

A co-op railway rush for one to four. The train waits at the station, then rolls along whatever track is down. Walk into trees and rocks to gather wood and iron, carry them to the crafting wagon behind the engine, take the track pieces it makes and walk them out beside the end of the line to lay them. Reach the next station before the train runs out of track. Eight levels, each with a twist (ponds, pine woods, iron hills, a canyon, a night run, snow and lava), then round again, faster. The game's own crew gathers alongside you, or play with friends. Tap to put your load down or pick one up. On a keyboard WASD or the arrows walk and Space or E puts down and picks up.
