Ragtime Ruffian by Alec Thomson ($1.99, 33.0 MB): In this quirky railway-themed puzzler, the idea is to forget about your troubles by using locomotives to splatter the innocent. Teamed up with what appears to be a railroad tycoon of the Old West, you're now provided a limited set of resources to carry out the unethical fun. In every scenario, there are people scattered about the desert, a small set of tracks, a couple of locomotives, and some extra money. Analyze the terrain and construct efficient paths to reach and run over the civilians. Just a couple of the things that you'll need to consider include the necessity of occasionally sacrificing a train to clear a path as well as splatters award points and extra finances, which may be necessary for construction and adjustments mid-project. The game features pixelated 2-D graphics, light violence, dark humor, 50 stages, multiple in-game tools, and a Game Center leaderboard.
