About Rail Switch
Rail Switch is a signal-box game. Gold and purple trains roll down a single track towards a junction, and you control a switch that sends them left to station A or right to station B. Gold trains belong at A and purple trains at B. Deliver them correctly and keep the timetable.
How to play
- Watch the colour of the train heading for the junction.
- Tap Switch track to set the route: gold to A, purple to B.
- Deliver enough trains correctly before three go to the wrong station.
Tips and strategy
- Set the switch for the next train as soon as the previous one has passed.
- Only the route at the moment a train reaches the junction counts.
- On later levels trains arrive quicker, so plan ahead.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
