The guide

Overview

Oh no. The cargo sorting machine is not functioning how it's supposed to in the Chuggington: Cargo Chaos game. Wilson and the rest of the trains need your help to fill up the wagons and make the deliveries. Do you think you're the right person for this challenge? Your job is to grab every crate and put them in the carts before it's time for takeoff. Attention will be your grates asset in completing this task with ease. Are you ready to take the matter into your own hands and help the friendly trains? How to play the game Firstly, you should wait for the machine to drop the cargo on the ground. The only thing left to do is to use your Left Click to pick up and drag it to the wagons. See? Pretty straightforward, right? With some practice, you will fill up every crate in no time. Every crate has a label with a shape. You only need to place them accordingly in the wagons. For example, the loot with the blue square goes in the cart with the same sign, and so on. Try not to mix them up because you will only lose time. For every stage, you will have plenty of wagons to fill. Once you finish and a train leaves with the cargo, another one will take its place. Also, you will have a timer for every load. You can take your time when it's green, but if it is close to red, you might pick up the pace. Are you ready to start your challenge and see if you can put every crate into its designated wagon? Wilson and the rest of the town are counting on you to get them out of this chaos.

What it's like to play

One button. Rising speed. No second chances. That is the arcade formula and it has not changed much in forty years because it does not need to. A session is a run of attempts where the first few are warm-ups and the later ones are tense. You stop noticing the music. You stop blinking. Then you clip an edge and it is over, and you tap Play again.

How to play

1Check the start screen for the control hint, then do one throwaway run to feel how your character moves and stops.
2Commit to each input. Hesitating halfway through a jump or dodge is what causes most early crashes.
3Keep your thumb or finger resting lightly on the control so you are never reaching for it.
4Set a target before each run, for example clearing the next obstacle type, and stop for the day when you hit it.

Why it's worth a go

Nothing to learn, nothing to install, and a run of Chuggington Cargo Chaos fits inside a single song. It is the kind of game that is good when you have five spare minutes and bad when you have five spare hours, because you will use all of them.

Who it's for

Suits anyone from about eight upward with decent reflexes. Adults looking for a palate cleanser between longer games, and phone users who want something to do with one thumb while standing up.
