You play as a train conductor- in space!
That's right, you control a train in space, it doesn't get cooler than that.
You must transport passengers across space to earn money, while defending them from one of 5 different enemies.
Use the money you earn to buy upgrades.
When you are done upgrading, you can click "continue" to continue on your mission.
While playing the game, you left click to shoot stuff.
The game gets better as time goes on. Trust me, it does.
Also there is no end. You play until you die. If you get far enough you may see some golden enemies that will absolutely wreck you.
A few pro tips:
All upgrades are $100
Killings things doesn't give you money, only delivering passengers safely does.
Theres a small chance the cart you want may go on sale.
Lasers penetrate, cannons shoot tons of bullets.
Distribute your upgrades evenly per cart, upgrade more generously towards the front of the train.
If one cart goes down, all carts to the left go down.
You can shoot down enemy bullets.
Note for Windows users: Open the folder, double click "game.exe." It may crash on startup. That's okay, just try it again. I am 99.9% certain it won't crash during gameplay.
Note for Linux users: Extract the folder, open the folder, and execute Game. If you get error, please tell me in the comments below.
Note for Mac users: You'll have to compile it yourself, I'm sorry. If someone could give me a Mac distribution that would be nice. Again, it depends on SDL2 and the whole shibang of it(image, mixer, and ttf).
Edit: -released a memory leak fix.
Edit2: -released a brown screen glitch fix. Forgot to set asteroid rotation to 0.
Edit3: - Linux version now comes packaged with SDL2 libraries, may have additional dependencies. Please tell me if you have any issues!
