The Description of Roof Rails
Roof Rails is a mobile racing game developed by Voodoo studio and was released in 2020 on iOS and Android platforms. In this game, players run with a large log or a pole in their hands on the racing course known as the ‘rail’. Meanwhile, players are aiming to run over other logs in order to widen/extend their own logs. Just like many other racing games, speed is not a major winning factor in this game. Instead, players need to dodge obstacles and pick up useful items. In other words, players must try to avoid hitting damaging lava, dangerous buzzsaws, and other hazards so that their logs wouldn’t be shorten. The ultimate goal for players is to run through and complete each level with the largest pole possible which brings them the largest bonus.
The control and game mechanism are rather easy and straightforward. One of the two core parts of the gameplay is to avoid obstacles. The motion control and movement is quite simple and intuitive. The other part of the game is to pick up useful things including the in-game currency—gems. Players can pick up gems while they run down the rail. Besides, they can also gain extra bonus gems according to their performance on each level. In other words, the better players run, the larger amounts of gems they would be awarded. In terms of game progress, players would notice that the difficulty level of the game is gradually picking up as they move further into the gameplay and encounter more challenges. In general, players need to run from the beginning of the course to the end in order to finish a run. Sometimes, it is also possible to take a short cut when players run into a lava pit so that they would reduce their potential log loss as much as they can. As for the gems, players can use them to purchase decorative outfits to build an aesthetic style.

Game Reviews
Roof Rail is another typical Voodoo styled casual mobile game. It is featured by the vivid brightness and easy gameplay. Players do not need a long learning curve to understand what is to be expected in this racing game. The game mechanism is a classic formula: the character with certain object, the obstacles and the pick-ups. In this sense, this game resembles most other casual racers in game design. However, there are certain fun features such as the types of items players can pick up as they run down the course. For items like gems, players can use their pole to pick them up since they’re hang-ups. For other items such as the extensions of the log, players cannot use the pole to get it directly, but rather have to bypass them by the character. The game might seem easy at the beginning, yet it picks up rather steadily. Thanks to its engaging and addictive feature, players often pave their way through to the more challenging part of the game without feeling drained.
