About the Game

All aboard for A Bumpy Ride!

In this cozy, arcade train-driving & exploration game, you'll be tasked with managing a small railroad all alone. Drive the train, hire your crew, and take passengers where they want to go! Explore and reveal new areas on your map, spurred on by passengers' requests to go to places you might not recognize.


Inspired by game visuals of days past, this 19th century world is filled with pixelated whimsy!

With 30 paint jobs, 12 upgrades, and 9 staff to unlock, there's plenty of options to choose from!


It's a busy railroad, and it won't stop for you! Keep your train safe!

  • A little locomotive with customizable paint job & flags

  • Unlockable new train cars, such as a first class car or a gondola car for freight

  • A level-up system tied to unlocking new upgrades, staff, and skins

  • An expansive world, with many classic American-inspired vistas ready to be explored!

  • Full day/night cycle & day-based progression

  • Full custom soundtrack by Cynnamin

Hop on for an fun-filled journey in A Bumpy Ride!
