Runaway Train

Short description

Train is leaving the station, but soon you notice, that something is missing... Rails! You have to lay tracks right in the path of the moving train to keep it from crashing. The goal is connect all stations, if you can... The problem is that the train is getting faster and faster with each laid piece of track.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $2.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
