Building Virtual Worlds - Final Round - Railly Tricky
Technology: Jam-O-Drum
​
Load and guide trains to their destinations. Railly Tricky is a cooperative game for a team of 6 people, where 2 workers load the trains in depot using joystick, and 4 people control individual junctions, and collaborate to guide colored trains to their respective junctions.​
​
Controls:
A. Depot: Use joystick to move the workers and button to pick up the crates
B. Railroad map: Tap the button the switch between straight and curved tracks, spin the wheel to rotate the tracks.
