Dear All,

An updated version of Electrotrains is now available with online leaderboards (Game Center).

I know quite a few people on the toucharcade forums play the game, so hope to see some of your scores there!

This is one that I just keep coming back to. Love the graphics and love gameplay. What are the chances of getting an iPad retina update for this?

Happy to hear that you're still enjoying it.
iPad Retina update - maybe... but I'm not promising anything....

At the moment all the sales proceeds are going in my retina iPad fund, and my current plan is to make a new "ElectroTrains HD", which will be iPad only with more complex layouts and gameplay since I won't have to worry about very small screens.

I'm buying this purely based on the Minter/T2k comment from Robin.

Although it looks like it plays nothing like it....

Dear all,

Just to let the forum know that I'm almost finished the next update to ElectroTrains, which adds a new set of 3 maps, signals, and a fast-forward button so experienced players still get a bit of a challenge during the first few minutes of each game, while not making it too hard for new players.

This will be a free update (I toyed with the idea of doing the new maps as an IAP, or even a seperate app, but was so pleased with the new maps and gameplay, I wanted everyone to get it).

The other good news is that I've sold enough copies of ElectroTrains to be able to pick up a new iPad soon, so a future version (may) support retina iPad display in addition to the existing retina ipod/iphone support.

(Work in progress) screenshots of two of the new maps.

I'll post here again when the update makes it to the app store, or follow me on twitter since I'll announce it there too.

(Apologies for posting the same message to both the main forum and the iPad one - never sure which is my "main" thread).

Great news! This is still one of my favorite pick up and play games, and I look forward to the promised updates.

Thanks also for not making them IAP!

The update is now live on the app store.

I'll be giving away some promo-codes later if you want to pick up a copy for free.
