## About Choo Choo Mania

Each puzzle shows a grid dotted with pairs of stations. Drag with the mouse from one station to its twin to lay rails, or move the on-screen cursor with the arrow keys and hold Z over a station to start a track. Lines may not cross, so the challenge is routing every pair at once. An update the day after launch added tunnels, pre-laid track pieces and key-and-gate tiles that force a route order, and comments refer to at least 24 puzzles.

It is marked textless on itch.io, so there is nothing to read, and the pixel-art trains and looping tune give it a relaxed feel. It suits fans of flow-style line-connecting puzzles who want a few minutes of calm, and anyone fond of PICO-8's chunky retro look. The developer is responding to detailed feedback in the comments, so expect it to keep changing.
