This game has no levels.
Thomas & Friends: Express Delivery- Train Adventure is a game where the player moves the trains around the island, completing tasks for the Fat Controller’s birthday party.
Thomas & Friends: Express Delivery - Train Adventure is a simple click, drag and swipe game. The Fat Controller is having a birthday party and the trains must help collect missing items for the party. In the free version there are three trains (Thomas, Emily and Ryan) and three tasks that the player can complete (see In App Purchasing for more details on the extended version). The player choses a train and then an item to find (eg balloons, people or fireworks). The player slides the train forward or back to travel around the island to find the item, drag it onto the train and then return it to the party. While travelling around the island the player can customise the island by selecting special areas to build, such as a sheep pen or an orchard. The player can also find hidden chests which are buried on the island. The chests contain golden statues which can be placed in the Fat Controller’s castle.
To unlock the full app with all of the characters and tasks costs $10.99. There is a store section in the app where this can be bought. However, to buy this upgrade the player must pass an ‘Adult Only’ check where you must type in three numbers which are written as words in the screen.
