Shortcut to beating the game:
Step 1 : Buy your upgrade
Step 2: Exit Shop
Step 3: Refresh the Browser (F5 or CTRL-R)
Doing so with allow you to keep your upgrade and your money.
The idea sounds good. I´ll putt this on the list. I plan to make upgrades for stations and the world/scene in general. However, there will be a separate currency for those. But there are still many things I want to implement before.
Rigth now you get more passengers from wagon upgrades. I did not explain that in the game but you get more passengers in average if you upgrade the passenger wagons. Every time you visit a station you get a random amount of passengers between 1+Wagonlevel -> max passengers.
I guess it´s time to work on those information windows.
