Rail Planet is a free browser-based exploration game from Moashoo. You travel across large 3D maps — from Seoul to the Moon — on foot, in vehicles, and on rails. Along the way you can destroy objects, reshape the terrain, and fight bots or other players. There are 16 different maps, each with its own theme, terrain, and landmarks.
What you can do in Rail Planet
- Explore 16 maps. Each map has a different environment: city streets, snowy mountains, desert canyons, volcanic highlands, space stations, and food-themed fantasy worlds.
- Destroy objects. Most buildings, towers, and terrain are destructible. Use weapons 1-4 to blow things up. Some landmarks are protected and cannot be destroyed.
- Ride the rails. The rail system is the signature way to travel. Press R to create a rail and board it. The rail auto-steers while you aim and fire.
- Fight in close combat. Get close to an enemy and use the Grab & Throw system to lift them into the air and slam them into the ground.
- Build terrain. Weapons 5-7 let you create mountains, towers, and objects anywhere on the map.
- Play on any device. Rail Planet runs in a browser on PC, and there is a mobile version and a Windows desktop app.

Is it related to Minecraft?
