Bullet train:
Here's nice little cartoon shooter based on a train. Developed by Box Top Games Bullet Train is a fast pace first person shooter about defending a train full of cargo from creatures in the harsh desert. Run up and down the train fighting off tumbleweed spiders and rock titans to try and keep your cargo in prime condition. At each station you reach you will be able to buy new weapons and upgrades as well as place turrets along the side of your train. You can use the turrets yourself to get right in on the action or just sit back and let your turret army take care of some of those critters for you. This was a student project done at Full Sail University with a 2 month design and 3 month development time frame to make the game.
Here's what the developers said about the game over on their site at Unigamecity
Created by Box Top Games, Bullet Train is a pretty fun indie first person shooter title that literary climbs you on top of a cargo train in a fantasy setting and challenges you to defend the cargo at all costs, blasting away all the critters that try to get on board uninvited. Bullet Train is available for download for free, which makes it an even better game than it is!Run up and down the train fighting off tumbleweed spiders and rock titans to try and keep your cargo in prime condition.

The visuals of the game make me remember the classic XIII game (which means that it looks as if the entire action takes place in a comic book) and even though there are no monsters like the ones we’re used to killing in regular first person shooters, Bullet Train provides some fun while it lasts and an interesting gameplay setting, so it is definitely worth your time. Especially since it’s free to download (I feel that I must keep saying that).
Bullet Train is a student project done at Full Sail University and the game was created in 5 months. You can head over to Desura now and download this game for free. And don’t forget to share with us your thoughts on the project!

Download:
You can download Bullet Train officially oly from Desura at the moemnt, which means you will need to install the client. As mentioned previously, if you've bought any of the Humble bundles and some of the other bundles you will have quite a few commercial games already to download from Desura, though of course you should also have got DRM free copies of those games and Steam keys in most cases. However, after checking out Desura for some time now i'm quite impressed with the service. With over 70 free games to download (at least 20 of which we've already posted elsewhere in these forums, and the rest i'll be posting details of soon, plus all of the latest indie games, many of which i've not seen before and the linking of mods to other games already installed on my computer, I'm beginning to warm to the client. It doesn't interfere with anything and gives access to all of your games much like other clients of this type. The download page is HERE
