Great job submitting a game! You've set up a good atmosphere here and I like the concept of managing the train. Its got a great arcade feel too it imo. The pick up / drop / use system can get a little annoying since they all share a key. I can understand embracing simplicity / being creative with controls but the actions are exact opposites of what you want to do in a moment (drop vs use). I think if you separated those actions the game would play much smoother. Awesome that you took some time to include sound and class "bang" text coming from the guns, definitely made the combat more exciting! Thanks for participating!

I like the world of the game, it's complex but understandable! to contiue !
You could potentially do a lot with the running around to manage a few train cars hook, although I found a bit confusing currently.
Some feedback: Might wanna have one button to pick up / drop anything, and one button to use whatever you have (so, the same button to use the water or shoot the gun). Also had some trouble telling when I was shooting guys, or what the state of my water bucket was; might wanna add some visual and sound indicators for those things.
Also took me a minute to realize I wasn’t running out of water, I was failing to keep the engine wet with my infinite water, but that one might be on me.
Cool though, in a minimalistic Atari sort of way.
Nice! its simple, but tricky enough to balance the things. Is there an end?
