IDEA and GAME LOGIC
Player controls stream train by maintaining ideal temperature of engine. If engine temperature is optimal, train accelerates, if temperature is not perfect, speed is decreasing. Player can add water to decrease temperature or add wood/coal for more heat. By time, engine is cooling down so keeping engine in optimal condition is vital. Player receives money from keeping train moving. More speed = more money.
In WILD TRAIN there are enemies that try to stop train by blocking it's way. Nasty cowboys can easily notice fast moving train, but slow one does not attract them. More speed = more enemies. Enemies can be killed by bomb.
Player's goal is to ride train to station with maximum amount of money left. Game is lost, if train is stopped or destroyed.
There are 4 items in game, each of them require money to buy. Price is changing according to game level.
- WATER cools train engine
- COAL increases heat of engine
- BOMB kills enemy
- TOOLS repair possible damage made by enemies
RULES
- Keep optimal temperature of engine
- Keep train moving
- Avoid cowboys
- Repair damage
- Remember! More speed = More more = More cowboys.
