Railway Canyon 4+

It’s a nice game. But we got all the tracks in place for level 7 and then the game is stuck. Train won’t move and we can’t do anything…

You can tap in time with the beat of music until each successive piece snaps in to place. Virtually no thought involved.

I suppose this is supposed to be more of a meditation aid than anything else?

Update: level 7 is very nice, with the train headlight lighting the dark scene.

Update: I thought there were only 8 levels. There should be an automatic movement up to levels 9 and above when a segment of the levels are done. This is because the animating white up-caret icon/swipe up indicator at the bottom is very subtle and looks like you tap it- but it doesn’t do anything when tapped. If you try to swipe the little animating icon you catch the iOS swipe bar at the bottom of the screen. So it’s not very discoverable that you can swipe anywhere on the screen actually.

Also I just realized that swiping down would be the more correct motion, in line with iOS scrolling behaviour, to bring in the next set up levels.

Lastly, when you finish level 9 (or higher) you get put back at the first menu screen for levels 1 to 8, forcing you to swipe up to re-find levels 9-16. And later it will be even more frustrating to keep swiping up to re-find the current level.

All I can say it is still enjoyable despite some bugs.

I hope that after the last level is complete there is some sort of end goal reward :-))

Very nice despite these points of friction. Thanks for making this.

Cheers.

Really beautifully designed game and a great concept.

The controls are simple but their implementation is faulty. Often it takes multiple taps to register a single rotation (both on an iPad and iPhone) which makes playing an exercise in frustration. I’m sure that is easily fixed by an update.
