You are a train controller, and you don't like when people try not to pay and fraud, but you use kind of extreme methods

You loose when you didn't gather enough money during your stage

The sound can also be pretty annoying, you can disable it with "s"; ran out of time unfortunately :(

Hope you enjoy it :)

I made it to round 8 before it got boring, it's a nice detail that the passengers split in two the place you cut them :)

Could also compile this for Java 6?

I couldn't get your game to run :( Windows7 64 bit here. Any idea why? Starting the .jar does nothing.

I shouted "Bring it oooooon!" when I started my chainsaw. :) Decent game. However, I think I had a bug because my FPS was showing thousands and the background was moving way too fast.

Clearly the author is not fond of railway employees (or train travelers.) OK for a few rounds.

@Znoraka: I couldn't get this to run on my Mac. Here's the stacktrace when I try to run the game:

Ping me on Twitter (@youdonotexist) if you end up fixing this/need help troubleshooting on a Mac.

Fun for a few rounds. What I don't quite understand is how are there people still on the train after the first day.

I failed at level 13. You really nailed the difficulty curve : even if the levels are very repetitive, it's fun to gon on because the targets are more and more clever/fast.
I also love the purple jacket ^^

It might be even harder/funnier if the chainsaw had a battery gauge. Mashing the space bar wouldn't work anymore!
