WHAT WE’RE PLAYING

Ride by rail, air or sea

Take a trip to colourful animated worlds in these charming games.

These cheerful games each have blazing blue skies and cartoon rides to manoeuvre, whether by kayak, chopper or train. Let’s go!

Up the creek with a paddle

Get into a good rhythm in Row Row and you’ll be cruising.

It takes a moment to get into the left-right-left-right rhythms of Row Row. But once you do, you should start barrelling through these beautiful deep cyan waters with grace and precision.

Trouble is, you’re up against currents and obstacles that make a gentle summer paddle anything but leisurely. Good luck!

Get to this chopper

For cheerful fling ‘em up action, look no further than HeliHopper.

HeliHopper’s one-thumb fun comes in two flavours: you can play by advancing through increasingly tricky levels, or try to survive as long as possible in “endless” mode to rack up a high score.

To play, you drag your finger over the screen to aim your chopper, then let go to fire it over to the platform on the other side of the screen. Miss and it’s game over. Simple, but oh so moreish.

Train your brain

These trains are as stop-start as the 08.16 into St Pancras.

Fail to stop and start the trains in Conduct THIS! correctly and they’ll run into each other and explode. Disaster!

Its crisp, breezy visuals mask a pretty intense set of challenges. All that stopping and starting will tie your brain in knots – a great test of timing and lateral thinking.
