Train Conductor 2: USA is an IGF China finalist for 2010. To celebrate, The Voxel Agents are partnering with FreeAppADay.com to make the original Train Conductor FREE for the first time.
The Train Conductor series, for iPhone and iPad, has previously been awarded Best Game Audio and was a finalist for Best Game Design at Freeplay 2010 and is now one of seven IGF China finalists.
The award winning series has so far sold more than 140,000 copies. To celebrate this achievement and the IGF China nomination, The Voxel Agents and FreeAppADay.com will make the original Train Conductor free for download for a limited period of time.
Apple featured Train Conductor in the “Highly Addictive Games” promotion, and it has been selected in 31 countries for the “What’s Hot”, “Staff Favorites”, and “New and Noteworthy” sections.
Both Train Conductor and Train Conductor 2: USA continue to receive regular updates with the recent addition of Australia’s famous wine region, The Barossa Valley, to Train Conductor and Roswell, New Mexico, added to Train Conductor 2.
Creative Director, Simon Joslin explains, “We love Train Conductor, and we can’t stop thinking of new ways to improve it. We’re working on some new content and I think if you haven’t played it, now is definitely the time!”
Train Conductor will be free for a limited time from the 11th of November, 2010. Train Conductor 2: USA, the massive sequel, is also available for $0.99 from the App Store.
