Railroad Rampage v1.2 (Wiz Game)

Railroad Rampage is a cross between an arcade game and a strategy game. It is similiar in construction to many “Tower Defence” games, but it has a twist : here, you are part of the action and can affect the game in many different ways more than just building structures. Bandits are trying to rob your train and steal all precious cargo! Thankfully, you are a skilled engineer who can construct many different kinds of turrets and use them to defend your train. You have to make it through 25 waves of relentless enemy assault before you reach your destination, so plan ahead and devise a smart strategy and you may survive!

Release notes by Imerion:

I finally finished porting my tower-defence style game Railroad Rampage to the Caanoo. It was a bit hard since I don’t own a Caanoo and becuase of that there might still be something that doesn’t work as it should. If you find something, please post here and I will try to fix it. It should run well though! New in this version is an updated interface which is easier to use with the touch screen. Especially on Caanoo this makes a big difference I’ve heard, but it helped on the WIZ as well, so I updated that version.
