Earlier this afternoon, Jared and I spent some time with Rail Rush (Free). It’s another endless runner. In the game, you control a mine cart and are tasked with collecting gold nuggets and avoiding various obstacles, including broken rails and oddly placed signage. As with most runners, the point of the game is just to go as far as you can. The farther you go, the higher your score.
You might remember this one. It came out earlier in 2012, but it’s just now enjoying a big-time bump on the App Store charts.
As we’ve said before, Rail Rush a solid game for what it is. And, there’s something to its style of running. It feels different, which is a nice thing in a genre that’s as clotted as the runner is. Check it out:
Best game out right now. A++ update!
And Toucharcade gave it four and a half. BUT OMG PIXEL PEOPLE! IT'S ANOTHER FREEMIUM GAME WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PIXELS FIVE STARS FIVE STARS FIVE STARS
And you forgot to say that Pixel People *sucks* approx as bad as any freemium game. Or worse...?
I bought this based on reviews but have maybe spent an hour and just can not get on with the aiming and collision detection/hit zones.
Haven't played it since :(
Interesting... the hit zones are just huge rectangles over the enemies, so if you're in range and aiming anywhere in a 90 degree arc of them, its literally impossible to miss! I'd love to hear your issues with aiming too - I'm genuinely curious how we could make it better! If there is anything we can do to improve, you can be sure we'll do our best to add it :)
There is absolutely no control issues. They're flawless. This game is truly a gem. The content is astounding and it's about grow by leagues. Can't be more excited.
Thanks for the response, I tend to find that I slip past the enemy and end up shooting or striking too far left or right or underneath the enemy.
So may be less the hit box and more the 'look' control. It's an odd one as I'm not sure why I can't get on with it but I find it like using a mouse that your used to but suddenly becomes WAY too responsive.
More time playing probably will solve but it's not a normal issue I have. And being honest it's kind of meant I haven't got into it! I'm on level three having used all three original characters.
Try adjusting the look sensitivity if you haven't yet. I lowered it a bit. Default was too jumpy for me.
Foursaken I think the controls are amazing. I always get the enemy :D but whenever I play multiplayer on my iPod 4 the game crashes. I would like to know if my iPod or the game is messed up.
Best game available for IOS right now. The controls are fantastic !
This game is great. Really looking forward to the update. Great work, Foursaken.
This is already the best IOS action game I have ever played. The update is simply an embarrassment of riches,
I have never heard that phrase before: "an embarrassment of riches" what is the logic of it?
I think it means they are giving us so much for our £1.49 that its embarrassing.
ah, thanks, learned something new.
Game is quality and will be even better after the update, it's a true must-have!
For £1.49, the amount of content is awesome, the update brings fixes but also a ton of new content - including two new game modes - what more could we ask for!
The amount of hours I've piled into this game is crazy, I've not spent this much time even on a console game in a long time! Happy!
Can't wait for that Burion armor! It looks Beast!!
You guys haven't done another Touch Arcade Free-Play in a while(hint, hint)
Any tips for level 19? Those Orc chiefs just wreck everything!

I love this game, but can't get the multiplayer coop to work for the life of me. Do we have to have the same version? I have the paid version and my friend has the free version. I downloaded the free version, and it still doesn't work. Every time I invite him, he doesn't get a notification, and many times it said he isn't available.
