About

Project Rail

Features
Read full description

RAIL is a calm strategy arcade game built on one rule: you never control the trains, you control the world. Swipe any row or column and the whole lane slides one step, tracks, trains and all. The board wraps around, so nothing ever leaves. Trains keep rolling while the landscape shifts beneath them. Guide every pastel train to the station of its own color. A broken connection does not end the game right away. The train pauses, glows amber, and gives you one breath to rescue it with a clever shift. Land five deliveries in a row and you enter Flow, where every arrival counts double. FEATURES - One gesture, endless depth: swipe to shift rows and columns - Every run is a new board with fresh stations and tunnels - Incoming trains are announced ahead of time, so you plan instead of panic - Wordless first ride that teaches the game in seconds - Minimal design, soft pastel colors, subtle haptics - No account, no ads, no internet needed Short runs, deep planning, zero stress. How long can you keep the world moving?
