Fun game. Neither the interpretation of the theme nor the game itself are very innovative, but it's fun and that's what matters most. Reminds me of old Commodore 64 games.

Ahaha-*bmpf* (hit by a policeman).
Also: Tying a woman next to the tracks, than standing on the track, laughing. I think I did something wrong.

Awesome game! The small scope probably allowed for a lot of polishing, and it shows. The controls feel very good (although I don't know if I'd like it better to just hold a key). Oh, and the humor is great!

And the more I play, the more I appreciate the mechanics: Your indirect weapon, the train, that can kill yourself too, distracting the police with the damsels, and the possibility of targeting a policeman with the train.

I only miss two things: Music, and some kind of indicator when that a train will come soon.

Good job all around!

PS: Ahaha-*hit by a train*

Love it! Really well thought-out mechanics, great presentation, good intro explaining the controls, downright hilarious! Would have liked some sounds for the trains, and perhaps a screen rumble? Great effort

Both amusing and a good solid mechanic. Every game should have a "laugh evilly" button.
Really well done.

Hahaha! Mine is an evil laugh!
That was fun - only thing I didn't like was having to repeatedly hit the keys to move. I kept expecting to be able to hold a direction down, got me hit by a train more than once.

Including the evil laugh is a sure sign of a winner. Simple and fun, like it should be. Very nice!

Bad Job! That means good job because you are trying to be bad.

Loved it! very simple but solid mechanics. The evil laugh is such a great bonus. Super fun!

This is a game I almost made, but I'm glad you did, because it's better than what I was going to make, I'm sure. Fantastic.

Funny game. The whole idea, the sound effects (especially the evil laugh) are hilarious. Although, it could've used some music.

I also did a "tie girls to tracks" game (with cops and everything), but you did a much better job of scoping, I think. Everything in this is really well polished and has a great arcade-y feel. Really made me nostalgic for old Atari games.

The laugh button is a fantastic idea.

Excellently polished. My eye couldn't keep track of everything so I'd run into a train or a police by mistake often - awesome! :D

Excellent game. I love the feel of the grid-based movement along with that little tapping sound you make. A lot of other nice touches in sound/graphics/humour make this one really memorable.
