📘 How to Play Space Rail

Space Rail is a fast-paced dodging game where you pilot a rocket through a field of falling obstacles. Keep your rocket safe from rocks and lightning while collecting golden coins scattered along the path.

1. Position your rocket on the central track and get ready to move.
2. Identify rocks and lightning bolts approaching from the top of the screen.
3. Dodge obstacles by sliding or tapping the left/right side of the screen (or using arrow keys) to shift your rocket sideways.
4. Collect the golden coins appearing in your path to increase your score.

👶 What to expect at ages 5-12

Children aged 5-12 may struggle to keep up with the increasing speed of obstacles, requiring quick reflexes and precise timing. The main challenge lies in making split-second decisions to avoid collisions while still trying to grab coins.

🏠 At home and in class

Play a 'spot the obstacle' game together by shouting out directions like 'Duck left!' just before the rocket hits danger. This helps reinforce your child's reaction time and spatial awareness beyond just playing the game.

💡 Tips

• Don't panic when obstacles crowd in; focus on dodging the nearest one first.
• Prioritize avoiding collisions over chasing coins; safe passage is more important than score.
• As speed increases, keep your eyes scanning the whole screen rather than fixating on a single point.
