About Trackline Express

Get your tickets to ride the Trackline Express today! Small disclaimer: there might be some missing rails sections. And occasional barbarian attacks. But don’t worry, our trains are the most reliable out there. Some just require a few upgrades here and there. Other than that, a perfectly fine ride is awaiting for you!
Did we mention wildfires?

Trackline Express is a train builder where you need to reach the stations while keeping your passenger safe from attacks and wildfires. Gather wood, rocks, ores, coal, and then transform them into various resources to create new buildings and equipment using blueprints that you unlock along the way.

The game offers a unique blend of gameplay elements that could appeal to players who enjoy strategy and resource management and to those looking for a more relaxed and cozy gaming experience with occasional exciting twists.

There aren't many resources in the desert, so you’ll have to think about how to use them in the best possible way.

You’ll need to collect enough coins to unlock blueprints in order to build anything. Once a blueprint is unlocked, it’s freely available. Coins are rare around there, so use them wisely.

With enough resources and the right blueprints, you can create multiple buildings and equipment to help you keep going forward and survive. What will you build first? A mine to get the coal for the train? Or maybe a well for your water tank? Unless you choose equipment to defend yourself against an upcoming threat... Each game is different and might require different prioritizations. Adaptation is key.

Attacks are frequent. You’ll have to fight to protect your convoy. Fortunately there are a few items you can use. As more passengers arrive, you’ll have to be more creative with how you use them.

Feed your train with coal, build new wagons and new equipment to defend against, well, basically everything. Try to automate things to keep moving as the game gets harder and harder with time and distance.

Bring your friends along for a ride! Join forces to tackle challenges on a journey to the final destination with Trackline Express multiplayer mode. Unite your strengths, strategically plan your next steps and defeat incoming threats!

You just want to play during a short break? We got you covered! The game comes with a Daily Challenge mode. Every day, a new randomly generated map will be available for everyone, so you can challenge yourself and your friends!

Trackline Express is an imaginative blend of survival strategy, resource management, and whimsical design, all wrapped around the unlikely centerpiece of a train cutting through an unforgiving desert. Developed and published by Bubblebird Studio, the game begins deceptively gently: a charming hand-drawn world, a train in need of expansion, and a landscape dotted with resources waiting to be gathered. But as the journey stretches on, Trackline Express reveals itself to be a tense balancing act where every decision—what to build, what to gather, whom to recruit—can determine whether your convoy endures another mile or collapses under mounting pressure. It is a game that thrives on unpredictability, using scarcity and environmental danger to shape a rewarding cycle of risk and resourcefulness. At its core, the game revolves around a delicate ecosystem of necessities: coal to keep the engine running, water to prevent your passengers from collapsing, wood and ore for building and upgrading, and coins for unlocking crucial blueprints. This resource web creates a constant sense of urgency. You must decide not only which materials to prioritize but also how far you’re willing to push your…

I played the demo forever ago and loved it. Grabbed this for my husband and I so we could do multiplayer. Tons of fun! Lots of planning and strategy to make sure you don't mess yourself up. Great for single or multiplayer!
