GAMES WE LOVE

Rule the Rails

All aboard for some relaxing train puzzles.

Choo-choose carefully when designing miniature railroads in Teeny Tiny Trains—your little engines need to reach their stations without crashing or derailing. This cozy puzzler is like tinkering with the ultimate wooden train set: Lay down tracks, press play, and watch your wee machines chug toward their destinations. Can you get each train to its station in the right order?

What we love: The satisfaction of solving a challenging level. Watching eight trains navigate your twisty route of junctions, tunnels, and gate arms—and cruise into their stations in the correct sequence—will make you feel like a consummate conductor.

The right route isn’t always the most direct one.

Quick tip: In-game achievements award all kinds of milestones, including mistakes. Don’t rush to restart a level—having trains derail might just earn you a pat on the back. There’s even an achievement for causing crashes in 30 different levels!

Meet the creator: Teeny Tiny Trains was born after one of the developers at Stockholm’s Short Circuit Studio bought a wooden train set for their child. The five-person indie outfit clearly loves little things—they’re also the makers of Teeny Tiny Town, Tiny Connections, and Tiny Discs.
