How to play Mini Train io
There is very little to learn before your first run. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
