With the strength of the big boys in the software market, life can be rather tough for the small fish. This game is of the maze type and could easily have entered the realms of mediocrity.
The game has three phases, each involving trains. In phase one, a circular man moves around the maze picking up mall Pac Man style. A train also moves around the track and you must avoid colliding with it. By moving your man to certain locations in the maze you can convert him to a carriage which, if you can catch the train, you can tack on the end for a bonus.
In phase two, the length of the train continually increases and you must remove carriages from the end, or else it will collide with itself and end the phase. The final phase is similar to phase one but much faster.
Graphically the game is nice but not outstanding. At the price the game is perhaps a touch overpriced but it is an enjoyable game and worth checking out.
