Description:

a2b is an abstract train game where you guide trains to their destination without letting them collide with each other. Each game is played on a set of tracks on which trains run at regular intervals. You click-pick a train and accelerate, brake or stop as necessary to safely guide it to its destination. As trains are continously launched, more than 1 train will want to use the same section of a track potentially leading to a collision. You resolve this by making a train wait while you rush another train or even cancel a train by sending it back to its base. When you despatch 100 trains, a level is complete. 2 more tracks are added to the network and the game continues.

Controls:

• Click on or near a train to select it. Only 1 train can be selected at anytime.
• Press UP arrow key to accelerate the selected train.
• Press DOWN arrow key to brake (and reverse) the selected train.
• Press LEFT or RIGHT arrow key to stop the selected train.
• You can use W, S, A and D instead of UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys.
• Right click to pause the game.
• ESC to abort or quit the game.
• Use the Level Browser at the bottom of the main menu to choose a level to play.

Highlights:

• More than 4 billion unique games, each with more than 4 billion unique levels.
• Use the powerful Level Browser to play any level you want, in any order you want or even play one level forever.
• Aim for high score (despatch trains asap), high efficiency (fewer collisions), both or neither.
• Game adapts to how you play so if you play well, the trains are more frequent and vice-versa.
