Rail in the Air is a skill-based simulation game that puts players in the role of a railcar driver navigating tracks suspended high in the sky. The game is appealing due to its speed-based controls, constantly changing terrain, and the suspense felt when navigating dangerous curves.
What sets Rail in the Air apart from many train simulation games is that you don't control an entire train, but rather operate a single railcar on an elevated track system.
The track in the game is anything but stable. At times you're hurtling downhill at high speed, only to encounter a sharp curve a few seconds later, or a section of track so narrow that a slight misstep could send the railcar flying off course.
