Here’s a cute clone of the famous snake. Instead of a snake you control a train. After picking up objects (diamonds, crowns, trees, animals, cars, fruits...) more wagons appear. After picking up all objects on the level, the small yellow door will open and the train can pass to the next level.
It is still unclear how can a train pass through the door, but the game itself handles this without a problem. It is obvious that the programmer tried to make interesting levels, instead of creating just another clone with better graphics, and it is a good choice.
Later on, levels become more complicated and you won't be able just to drive around finishing levels without trouble. You'll need to observe and figure out how to successfully move your train through.
Graphics are low, but the game looks nice (like Dangerous Dave). Different types of wagons will appear after picking up different objects. This has no influence on the game, but it looks nice and provides some variety. The sound consists of no more than just a few beeps from your PC speaker.
After few easy levels, you'll be playing complex levels with lots of objects (lot of wagons). Levels will become very interesting, often with just a few or one exact way of finishing it. Hard levels like this can create a "hooked-up" feeling, destroying your nerves and making you play it on and on. After all, how can a stupid Snake clone be more than what you can handle?
All in all, this game is a short term fun for everyone. Lovers of Snake-like games won't be disappointed either. Game receives an average mark, but it succeeds to be good in the main parts. Programmer managed to create a real interesting and fun Snake clone.
To start at different levels simply press F4 and put in the password. The five letter words that appear before you enter the level are passwords (and now, these aren’t just simple random letters, they are real words, but they are in Czech).
There is some bug that may occur when playing in WinXP. From time to time the train will pass two squares almost at once. This will become very problematic while playing harder levels. It happens rarely, but it happens. You may want to play it using DOSBox instead. It should be OK when played in older versions of Windows.
