RailWater is actually a very fun game of strategy. The object of the game is to add the correct pipes joints to move the water through all the pipes and at the same time have all the numbers match. When you open RailWater you will get a splash screen and then the main menu. On the main menu, there are two options; Play and Help. Help is actually in a different language so unless you speak Italian (I don’t actually know if it is Italian! 
) the Help will not help you much. Once you select Play you will be on the main play screen. Here you will notice an upper menu bar and a lower menu bar. On the upper menu you have the level you are on, the amount of time that has passed, the option to go back to the main menu, restart that level and turn the sound on/off.
The lower menu bar is where your pieces are located. The first piece will stop the water flow the rest will make the water flow based on their shape. You will also see a number displaying how many of each pipe you have. Each pipe also has a number of points attributed to it. The first piece (left to right) is 0, then -10, -20, -30 and -40.
In the middle of the screen is the game. You will notice that one pipe already has green water in it and a number. You can then select a piece from the lower menu bar and drag it where you would like it. When you add a piece, it will make the water flow based on the shape of the pipe you added. You want the water to flow through all the pipes (see screenshots below). You can spin the pipe joints by tapping on them. However, you will also notice that at the end of each pipe there is a circle with numbers in them. The numbers also have to match each other. Example) 120/120. So, you have to use the correct pipes to subtract the correct amount of points as well as have the water flow through all the pipes! It gets kind of crazy!!
Overall, it is a pretty fun and highly addicting game! I’m still trying to figure out level 4…let me know in the comments what level you are on. OH!….and if you let the app sit for a while and do not play it says, “Hello.” Which scared me to death the first time!! Also, when you close and reopen the application it brings you back to level one which is totally a bummer!

Tried it out, didn’t work. It looks like a lot of fun, but there are definitely some kinks that need to be worked out.

What do you mean, it didn’t work?
Problems starting up or random crashes?

I had a puzzle “solved” numerous times without it allowing me to advance to the next level. And this was level 3. I’m not an idiot, so unless I’m completely misunderstanding how the game works, it’s not very good at figuring out when the puzzle is actually solved.
Line up the pipes so the green water flows, right? Yeah, it just wasn’t working for me.

I have level three solved in the screenshots above…take a look at it.
andy on October 14th, 2008 7:34 pm:
OK, so what am I missing here? Why is that configuration correct?
Brooke on October 14th, 2008 8:10 pm:
Because, the numbers in the circles at the end have to match. The first green tube has a number in it and then each connector subtracts an amount from the original number. At the end, the number has to equal the number in the circle. So, you might have to use different connectors based on the amount of points they subtract. (see article above for specifics). Does that make sense?
Brooke on October 14th, 2008 8:10 pm:
PS…the numbers are tiny and easy to miss!!
andy on October 14th, 2008 8:25 pm:
Ah! Yes, the numbers are tiny. And the instructions are in Italian.
I guess it does work then… just in a kind of confusing way.
Thanks for setting me straight, Brooke.
Brooke on October 14th, 2008 9:42 pm:
No problem…that’s what I’m here for!
Level 4

Oh man…that was the level I was stuck on. Now I feel like I cheated!!
Thanks for the info about this funny game, especially the part about the points of the different tubes – I just couldn’t find this out on my own ^^

Thanks for this, I was playing this in my lectures earlier on and I had no idea what I was doing!! I still don’t know how to get past level 3.. I’ve got water flowing but don’t know how to get the number levels equal to what they’re meant to be!?

Check out the screenshots above…it will help you with level three.
good game… only 9 levels though prolly could have gone on a lil longer but it was a challenge for the hour or so that it tool me to get through it.

pretty easy game, I beat it in <20 min. So that’s the first problem with this game
The second problem is turning pieces gets kind of annoying. I found if I held my finger there for a second and then turned it, it would work better. Kind of sucks for a game that is timed.
And yes, the help is in Italian. No, I can’t translate.

Thanks men. for the info about this funny game

Easy game. Would be great if there were more levels. For those having difficulty try working backwards. Start with the lowest number as your end point and work back from there connecting to the end with the second lowest and so on.
