Rail Switch puts you in the signal box. Coloured trains roll out of the tunnel one after another and down a branching railway; every junction sends them left or right, and a tap flips it. Get each train to the station that matches its colour — and its symbol — before the next one needs a different route. Trains follow whatever a junction is set to at the moment they reach it, so you can switch a junction behind one train and before the next. Eight maps grow from a single fork to an eight-station network with faster, more frequent trains.
How to play Rail Switch
Goal: Route enough trains to their matching stations to pass each map.
Keyboard & mouse
- Click a junction to flip it
- Or press the junction’s number key
- P or Escape to pause
Phone & tablet
- Tap a junction to flip it
Rules
- Each junction’s yellow lever and dotted line show which way trains will go.
- A train takes the route a junction is set to when it arrives there.
- Stations show a colour and a symbol; trains carry the same colour.
- Pass mark: about three quarters of the trains on time. All of them earns three stars.
Tips and strategy
- Look at the next train leaving the tunnel and set its first junction early.
- Flip a junction as soon as a train has passed it if the next train needs the other branch.
- Junctions near the stations can wait; the top ones cannot.
