Customer ReviewsNot fully Retina... (1 star)...and no asynchronous play like in the iPhone version. Should be Universal. Perfect game (5 stars) Adding retina support made this game perfect! Good Update (5 stars) I've bumped this up to 5 stars after the latest update. This is a great, great game. It's not perfect - it's still a little difficult to discern green trains from yellow ones for some color-impaired users - but they listened to the reviewers and made improvements. That great news and good business. Nice job guys! Would love to see some of the enhancements made to the track also made to the trains.
