Rail Ace - Arcade Rail Shooter Kit

The Grand Tour (new in 1.3): one long journey in three scenes, built with the Rail Ace Level Generator and included ready to play. Raid a space station, dive through the clouds to jungle seas, rivers and desert canyons, loop over a volcano and dive in to fight the Magma Wyrm (a flying lava dragon boss), then outrun the lava back to space.

New in 1.3: import levels from the Rail Ace Level Generator (sold separately) in one click; creatures that leap beside the route (lava worm, sand worm, sea serpent), fire bats, rock crawlers and a Lava Dragon finale; power-ups (Overshield, Endless Boost, Rapid Fire, Double Score, Wingman Assist); stone spires that break where your missiles hit; the Ship Pack Exporter and Jackpot Ship Parts (landing gear, canopies, rotary cannons, turrets, flaps and lights that move); and Graphics Auto / Full / Light.

What you can play

• Mission 1, Operation Sector Z: an asteroid belt, an enemy fleet, 13 enemy waves, wingmen with radio chatter, and a flagship boss with shield turrets and a reactor core.
• Mission 2, Operation Dogfight: a rail approach that opens into an all-range arena with four waves of dogfighting enemy fighters.
• The Grand Tour (rebuilt in 1.3): one long journey in three scenes, from a space station through jungle seas, rivers and desert canyons, into a volcano to fight the Magma Wyrm (a flying lava dragon boss), and a race against the lava back to space.
• Practice range: a looping tutorial course with six stations.
• Autopilot Demo (new in 1.2): the autopilot flies any mission by itself, great for testing your levels and for showing your game.

Flight and combat

• Guns with upgrades, and lock-on missiles: sweep the crosshair over up to four enemies and fire micro missiles at each, or launch the big belly missile.
• Barrel rolls that deflect shots, a loop-de-loop, U-turns, and boost and brake on one shared meter.
• Four wings that each smoke, burn and break off on their own.
• Call a wingman for help (H / gamepad A).

Level pieces (1.2)

• Terrain the ship, camera and enemies follow; sky, fog and light that change along a journey.
• Obstacles: rubble walls, falling spires and trees, crashing rocks, hover rocks, lava bursts, laser fences, force fields, mines and more.
• Skill gates (brake, boost and loop challenges) and side routes.

All-range mode and dogfight AI

• Free 3D flight inside an arena, with a radar, edge arrows and an automatic turn-back at the edge.
• AI fighters that pursue, make gun runs, break off and evade. Waves are set up in the Inspector.

Difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard and Ace.

Beginner friendly

• Welcome & Quick Start window with a project check and play buttons.
• Drag your own ships into the art slots, then rebuild with one click. Models are auto-scaled, centred and converted to URP, and get colliders and AI automatically.
• Built-in Ship Generator: makes placeholder fighters, capital ships and turrets in code, in seconds.
• Every script has plain-English comments and every field has a tooltip. 18-page PDF guide.

Polished feel: cel shading with outlines, bloom, screen effects, contrails, synthesized sound effects and original music, zero-setup HUD, title menu, pause, game over and mission-complete outro, full control remapping with gamepad support.

Clean code: namespaced, assembly definitions, pooled projectiles and effects, works with Domain Reload disabled, no third-party code.

Web builds just work: the kit fixes URP's point/spot-light shadow problem for WebGL builds automatically. Try the browser demo: https://jackpotcreations.com/demo/railace13/

More from Jackpot Creations: the Rail Ace Level Generator (sold separately) builds whole on-rails levels in seconds, and Rail Ace 1.3 turns them into playable missions in one click. The Jackpot Sci-Fi Ship Pack (free) adds more sci-fi ships you can drop into Rail Ace's art slots. Find both on the Unity Asset Store under Jackpot Creations.
