This is basicly PreAlpha right now. Everything seems to get stuck, trains, busses and the likes. So right now it looks neat, but there isnt a game here.

About This Game
About this Game
In transport services, you take on the task of providing transport for goods or passengers among contracted cities. Cities reveal as you play, which brings new needs for passengers. As you care for your passengers your cities grow and produce more passengers and there is a lot of waiting passengers, you will have to pay back some tickets and your city might lose its shine as people do not want to live in a city cut off to civilization. Also once your city reaches a bigger size, you will build a factory producing resources, which you can distribute into your other cities to make a profit.You will be able to build roads for buses and trucks, as the cheapest variant for the short distances. Rails for trains to travel longer routes with huge capacities or airfields with planes for very picky passengers, that are designed for an even longer distance of travel.
Game features:
- 3 game difficulties. Where easy means s stress-free game without any punishments for overcrowded stations while on the opposite side, hard mode is pretty challenging on how far you can get before you go bankrupt, then there’s normal mode which is for everyone who wants to have some responsibility, but does not want let the game punish them too much.
- procedurally generated world
- dynamically growing cities from few houses up to the city full of skyscrapers! And it is all done by the way you care for your cities needs!
- Simple passengers. There are cities of some colors and passengers of another color inside them. Which means that the passenger of its color wants to travel to the city of his color.
- Simple product consumption. Move products to all cities, where they’re not produced. Make sure all cities have as many kinds of products as you can deliver. They pay you more if you satisfy all city needs, rather than transporting just one sort of product.
- Trains, planes, airships, buses, and trucks...tooot! tooot!

User Reviews
I cannot recommend as is. Trains getting stuck IS an issue. I have played other train games so i know how to setup switches. Trains will stay stuck on platforms or at switches on a merge track. I like the light gameplay but i can't play a game where i have to force trains to move or else restart the game/delete and recreate the train to get it going. I look forward to a few months from now when i try it again.
The game is in very early development and it looks like it hasn't had any updates/patches since November 2019! I would therefore assume it’s probably been abandoned by the developers. It’s a shame as the game showed a lot of potential with a lot of expansion possible. I will of course update my review if any further changes are made to the game. I purchase games like this in the effort to help support development at an early stage. It is a gamble and in this case it didn’t pay off. As of now I cannot recommend the game in its current form and if no developer support then it’s dead in the water.
Graphics are awesome, app never feels slow... Game play has potential, the passenger movement requires developing a strategy but cargo movement lacks any interest. I like it overall and hope it gets better. Here are my gripes... Navigation is cumbersome to the point it affects gameplay and continued enjoyment of the game. The combination keyboard shortcuts and mouse input (available only under certain tools) are awkward and frustrating. You would think you could point and zoom to an area, but you don't and... [deleted] Also the MiniMap shows the same area you essentially see in your main window (or by spinning around). But distant cities (that's as soon as you have 8 or more) are obscured by fog and not on minimap. So only way to reveal that area, is to navigate. Arrrrgh! You will be zooming in and out a lot... At scale where you can see a few cities, you can't see trains. And the arrows to determine switch settings? You have to zoom in so much you can see what the engineer is eatin...
I would definitely recommend this game IF there was not that frustrating bug that Buses, Trucks or even Planes just got stuck at their stations which causes a chain reaction of "collapse" totally. The only way to resolve the issue is by deleting your expensive cars one by one or destroying your maximum level station. I tried really much but I can't play the game at it's current state. If this issue would be resolved the game is actually very enjoyable. Watching small towns getting developed into Metropolises is really satisfying. There are good amount of transportation vehicles on road, rail and air. I didn't have the chance to test Water transportation tho. I hope one day the Traffic Stuck bug would be resolved and I change my review to positive. Cheers!
Good little game that is certainly worth the money that is being asked to purchase it, even at full price. Needs to be taken slowly at first and no need to try to connect every new city that enters the map as soon as they appear, you can take your time and they will still be there later. Try it and I'm sure that you'll get a pleasant surprise.
A quirky little transport simulator. Simplistic and casual gameplay with suitably minimalist UI. A few bugs and optimisation issues here and there require the user to make a few inconvenient workarounds to do things they thought would be a lot simpler, but I like where this is going and I enjoy the concept. The devs seem hard at work to fix the game as quickly as possible, with a lot of help via their discord server. Because of this, I look forward to what this can become.
Not finished and no more updates for the last 2 years... To be avoided!
Horrible interface, horrible controls, horrible music. Doesn't looks like a finished game. Seems a lot like a 3D proof of concept for something that maybe someday will become sort of a game. Going for refund.
The game is good however there are small bugs that need to be fixed but so far nothing major. Hopefully we will soon see more features being added into the game.
