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!
