Rail in the Air

Rail in the Air is a driving simulation. You drive a cart on rails high above the ground, on track that gets steeper. It suits players who like steady control more than racing.

Course of play

Move with W or the up arrow and brake with S or the down arrow. The track climbs and drops more steeply as you go, so speed has to be managed rather than maximised.

If you fall, R respawns you. New stages and maps unlock as you progress; M opens the maps and C the cart.

Practical tips

  • Brake before a steep section, not on it.
  • Use R when a fall is certain instead of waiting.
  • Check the maps to see which stages are unlocked.
  • Short, steady inputs are easier to control than long holds.

Suited to

Players who like careful driving and gradual difficulty.

Points to weigh

  • Poki shows adverts around the game.
  • A fall costs time, which can frustrate.
