FAQ
We're back! Here's the story!
8 years after RxR originally went radio silent from iOS devices, we've returned with a new sequel
and we figured out how to make the original work again. RxR was taken down in 2017 over an iOS update
which cut support to various required functions used by the Cocos2D game engine leading to the game
no longer rendering. Now, 8 years later, RxR is back both as a PC oriented sequel (Rail x Rail 2)
and as the original iPad app via jailbreaking and using older devices. Instructions are linked below.
How do I play the original?
For the intrepid tinkerer, you'll need an older (working) iPad which can be purchased from a site like eBay.
The iPad must be running iOS versions 9.0.0 - 10.3.4. Once you have the device obtained, you'll
need to run
two jailbreak programs and a sideloader to put one of the RxR iPAs on it.
Afterwards, you can play the game.

Is Rail x Rail 2 free?
Yes! Rail x Rail 2 is fully free and features no payware content or in-game ads.
We do ask, however, if you like the game, that you spread the word of it to
others to help it grow.
Along with this, all paid addons in the original RxR are now unlocked allowing you to enjoy the entire game even if you never bought any of them.
