To be fair, most of the complication there is because it's dynamically generated in 3D, where moving the camera makes the dithering unstable. In 2D hand-drawn art, it's a skill, but it's not quite the same challenge as described in that post.

Yeah it only seems to show small station near me, and not the main city stations, not sure why but it's very incomplete, and not related to age. For example Sheffield station isn't on the map, and that opened in 1870.

The red phone box is a type of phone kiosk. The design of the phone box is designated as K1-K6, where the K stands for kiosk. I believe the term comes from the time before phone boxes were ubiquitous, and public phones were found in small buildings/rooms called kiosks.

The developer is also British; it's a pun because you roll sausages in the game.

I think the use of the word "ends" rather than "end" makes it sound like you're making 2 snips on each balloon.
