Gameplay :
----------
The scoring rules are: a train in is one negative point, a train out is two
positive points on the score. The goal is to reach the pass-mark (a grey
number in the left corner), which means that new trains stop entering the map,
and only after the player clears out all the remaining trains currently
present in the trackage, he/she can proceed to the next level.
Entering trains need to be manually let in by showing the green light on a
semaphore. There are 3 special trains:
1) train with stops that needs to be stopped in stations whose icons hover above
the loco (you must respect the order as well)
2) countdown train (not available in the demo)
3) biohazard train (not available in the demo)
There's a tutorial map that will teach you every key point of the gameplay.
(This map is the first one in the list of maps)
Detailed information can be found in the game manual.
________________________________________________________________________________
Four game modes :
------------------
1) Time Attack
The main playing mode in Loco Mania.
The map is finished if the score reaches a certain number û a so-called
pass-mark. This number is derived from the number of trains cleared out
of the map and the trains currently present on the map. The pass-mark
is different for each map.
2) Check Point (not available in the demo)
3) Time Attack Unlimited (not available in the demo)
4) Freerun (not available in the demo)
