Railcoil

Railcoil is a snake-style train game. You steer your train with the mouse, collect colored items to add wagons and try to stay clear of rival trains and the striped wall around the board.

How to play

1. On the menu, type a nickname and press Play.
2. Move the mouse; the train follows it.
3. Pick up the colored items on the board to add wagons.
4. When the train is long, hold the mouse button for a speed boost, as the game’s own tip says.
5. Stay away from the striped wall and from other trains.
6. If you crash, a Last Chance panel offers a revive for 250 coins; press No, thanks to leave it.

What you see on screen

• Menu: the Railcoil title, a tip line, a nickname box, a Play button and a Change Skin button.
• Skin screen: your coin count in the corner, arrows to browse skins, a Save button and a price tag on locked skins.
• Board: a leaderboard of the ten longest trains at the top right and a sound button at the top left.

Tips

• Do not point the mouse at a corner and leave it. In our runs the Revive panel appeared within 6 to 10 seconds.
• Steer all the time; the board is crowded with rival trains, some coiled into rings.
• Look at the skin screen before you play; one locked skin showed a price of 500.
• Read our io train game tips for the numbers behind these tips.
