This game was interesting but development has been dropped a long time ago... No new content available.

Not recommended Sep 3, 2026

It's been abandoned.

Not recommended Aug 19, 2026

This game was a good start but... I don't know if the devs got bored, got stuck, got fired... It's unfinished. It's a fun simple game, to a point. Once you get to that point it's extremely obvious, they never finished it.

Recommended Aug 18, 2026

Very nice game! Interesting, especially the minecarts!

Not recommended Aug 18, 2026

game had potential but is far to basic and boring to give any real time to.

Recommended Jul 31, 2026

You cant even start the game, you need more money. And you cant even sell anything
