What's New

Leaderboards

Rush Hour maps now have leaderboards! You can compare your current run to the world record, the record among your friends list, or your personal record.

Contests

It's simple: You have around a week to get the best score possible on a set seed. Oh, except you can't load saves! Every run must be done from wave 1 to wave 10. That may seem like a small change, but it makes a big difference long-term...

New Maps

There are a few new Rush Hour maps to try out, all with varying difficulties!

Main Menu Options

Starting a new game, loading an old save, or deleting a map now only requires that you hover over the level preview! No need to try and click on those pesky buttons anymore...

Rail Route [linux] [280.41 M]

Rail Route is a train dispatcher simulator. You negotiate contracts, build rail roads, set up routes for trains and control the traffic. Unlock features of your dispatcher interface, upgrade railway network elements and research new technologies that allow you to automate the operations!

Manual Routing

Manual Routing is basic mode to control the rail roads from the beginning of the game. You set up switches and signals one by one. Nothing but your skill and focus prevent collisions.

Automated Routing

Automated Routing helps when traffic becomes busy on a complex yard. You need a few clicks to set up all switches and signals en route. Collision avoidance included. Available later in the game when you unlock it and upgrade the signals.

Building

Build your own rail network to optimize the traffic. Be creative and fill every possible space you have.

Automation

Automation allows you to operate your railway network without your hands on. Your growing traffic does not lock you in the operations, freeing your hands for further expansion. You build the automation sensors and set up route to create when trains go by.

Level Editor

Level editor allows you to create a custom board with everything that comes with it. Create a schematic of your hometown rail roads, your imaginary rail network or even model the Tube rapid transit system using it! The rectangles you see moving can be modern or historic trains, the underground trains, trams, monorails, just whatever you imagine.
