Trainatic isn’t your typical train sim. Instead, it blends the satisfying loop of a clicker/idler with strategic upgrades, procedural generation, and the charm of pixel graphics. What begins as a simple engine soon evolves into a colorful, screen-clearing spectacle of synergies and destruction.
Whether you enjoy the casual satisfaction of watching numbers rise, or the strategic puzzle of building a perfect upgrade path, Trainatic delivers an experience that’s both relaxing and explosively chaotic.
