Rail in the Air

Rail in the Air is a captivating, skill-based simulation game that subverts traditional racing tropes by prioritizing meticulous speed management over reckless acceleration. In the game, you step into the shoes of a sky locomotive driver tasked with piloting a heavy cart across narrow tracks suspended precariously above endless skies. The entire journey is shaped by a complex interplay of momentum, elevation, and balance. As you advance, simple stretches rapidly transform into chaotic, dynamic terrains featuring broken track gaps, double spiral loops, and blinding high-altitude fog.

How to Play Rail in the Air

Your goal is to carefully balance your center of mass, safely navigate these treacherous hazards, and successfully reach the final checkpoint of each magnificent structure.

Controls

• W or Up Arrow Key: Accelerate forward and generate G-force traction on steep uphill climbs
• S or Down Arrow Key: Engage the brakes to create crucial wheel friction and kill excess velocity
• C Key: Check train parameters and monitor operating stability
• M Key: Open the map to read upcoming track sections and prepare for approaching hazards
• R Key: Instantly respawn at your last unlocked checkpoint after a disastrous fall

Tips for Beginner

• Brake Before Sharp Turns: Do not attempt to slow down mid-corner. Reduce your speed early before entering narrow turns to defeat centrifugal force
• Control Downhill Speed: Gravity naturally accelerates your cart on downhill drops. Release the throttle completely and gently tap the S key to maintain control
• Stay Focused on the Track Ahead: Watch the horizon rather than your cart. Predicting slopes and broken gaps in advance allows you the necessary reaction time to adjust your velocity
