I'm at 132 stars and it's *kind* of getting hard but not really
sometimes you can see immediately what they are going for and it's like duh
― dayo, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 10:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm stuck on ONE level at the very end that's driving me insane, and it looks like there are about 460-ish stars in the game, so y'all still got plenty to go
it does stay fairly simplistic until the very last few cities, but the harder puzzles do make up for that imo
should have mentioned that, like many people apparently, i got totally hooked on this game from the free express version (which has entirely different levels than the full game) and pretty much breezed through all the easy levels in the full game so it wasn't too long before i was up to the puzzles that were actually making me think

totally hooked. damn thing killed my battery

ok, i trust u guys enough at this point that i'll drop 99 cents for a game -- hoping it takes over my life!

Galaxy on Fire 2 well worth checking out (and the £3.99 price)

kinda wish you could reskin games like trainyard. like the UI is ok, but it seems...off, just a little.
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 4 November 2010 13:18 (thirteen years ago) link
the touch algorithms suck supremely on trainyard imo
― dayo, Thursday, 4 November 2010 13:22 (thirteen years ago) link
oh they are awful it's true
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 4 November 2010 13:24 (thirteen years ago) link
another feature request: a popup counter that shows how many squares youve traced out. would make longer union puzzles go a lot more quickly.
like how the gang is basically a visual programming language. it's like max/msp (I think?) or something
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 4 November 2010 13:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Trainyard is OK but I prefer PathPix (aka DRAWING from Pic Pic) for my drag-to-connect-stuff-centric puzzles.

love trainyard. got up to 143 stars before i got stuck. now i'm working on this Horhey level and trying to figure out how to synch these tracks up correctly
― Mordy, Thursday, 4 November 2010 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Woo! Solved it! How satisfying!
― Mordy, Thursday, 4 November 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
I have trouble dragging tracks in trainyard. Annoys me.

what's the gang?

i would maybe love this game on an ipad but my big dumb calloused geetar fingers cant make the grade on iphone

it's not just you---the game implements it poorly imo
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Thursday, 4 November 2010 22:25 (thirteen years ago) link
finished the trainyard. relied on pure dumb luck for a couple of the harder ones, but would play again/keenly awaiting updates.

think it's not very good at 'predicting' your movements i.e. you need to move your finger from one side to the other side to make the track
― dayo, Friday, 5 November 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
trainyard: complete

You guys are bad-ass. I'm up to around 200 points, I think.
― schwantz, Saturday, 6 November 2010 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link
i've actually got two bonus levels left to do. one of them (cayman) i can't be arsed with and one of them (rocky road) i'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN is LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

fireball island is where i am stuck! i did finish trainyard express though (except the bonus levels).

I've just got 3 or 4 levels left on Trainyard. Really enjoyed the game although the last couple of Cities have been more about trial & error rather than logical reasoning.

i'm kinda feeling like i'm almost obliged to get an ipod touch just so i can get on board with the other major platform i'm ignorant of.What are the key games for iphone/touch?
― a pun based on a popular ilx meme (forksclovetofu), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
according to ilx:
drop79 innings
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:05 (thirteen years ago) link
drop7
― koyaani (s1ocki), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:05 (thirteen years ago) link
haha
gotta say that trainyards lack of randomness (v drop6's capricious distribution of unwanted 4s) has been a nice change of pace. solving a puzzle makes me feel smart, getting a high d7 score makes me feel lucky
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link
can anyone seriously recommend getting a touch as a gaming platform? is it worth the cash in the same way as a ds?
― a pun based on a popular ilx meme (forksclovetofu), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:11 (thirteen years ago) link
i would get an ipad instead tbh

srsl tho, either way, if u really need to be up on whatever's going on in gaming, touch gaming really feels like a new thing, even with the DS' stylus going on.
― koyaani (s1ocki), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
i feel like the fact that most iphone games are like $1-5, you can't really lose over the long run
