Speed down rails and spot the differences in the environments in Symmetrain.

Why we picked this?

Pick a train and your journey will begin. As your train speeds ahead you must try to pick out the trees, bushes, rock formations, and other objects that are on one side of the tracks and not the other. If you miss a difference or tap incorrectly, your train will get delayed. If it gets delayed too much it will disappear from sight and the game will be over. You can pull the emergency brake to slow things down for a bit when things get hectic and get your thoughts straight. The game includes eight environments, iCloud integration, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

You enjoy spot-the-difference games. The dynamic environments will keep you coming back for more.

You prefer more casual games. This one isn’t a cakewalk. You have a limited amount of lives, and when the train gets up to speed they can go quickly.
