Demo - Update 0.9.1
Trackline Express now features a brand new Campaign Mode! It serves two main purposes:
This mode adds 3 to 5 hours of gameplay to Trackline Express. It contains new items that you can or even need to create to reach the next levels, and has a simple storyline giving the characters a purpose.
The campaign mode also addresses a common issue that was brought up by play testers. Some aspects of the game were a bit complicated to understand at a first glance. While it is in the DNA of the game to not explain everything and have the players figure out things by themselves, it is necessary to give them the right keys from the beginning to help them look in the right direction. The first 3 levels teache the basic rules of the game in an easy way, helping new players in!
Instead of having to grab/drop tools every time you want to do an action, you can now equip your passengers with tools that they will have on them permanently. Each passenger has two slots for tools (pickaxe, axe, wrench, ...) and one for weapons (spear, crossbow, ...).
- Many small bugs were fixed - I'm still working on the multiplayer mode. it is not accessible in the demo, but if you want to try it, join our Discord. If you ask nicely and are willing to give constructive feedback, we might give you a key to access the beta version of the game!

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!
