Choo-Choo Charles - Release Date Trailer

Choo-Choo Charles wasannouncedthis time last year. It’s the work of solo dev Gavin Eisenbeisz, a.k.a. Two Star Games. In aSteam updateon the game’s progress, Eisenbeisz said he’d aimed for many release dates during this year that didn’t work out, but added that the game’s now “well into its beta phase” and almost complete. “Tons of improvements and additions have been made to the game, and I’m thrilled with how it’s turning out,” Eisenbeisz said.
We last saw Choo-Choo Charles during this June’sDay Of The Devs stream, when the game seemed to be coming along nicely. As I’vementioned before, I’m arachnophobic, so the sight of a giant, clown-faced, skittering steam locomotive barrelling at me on eight legs does give me pause for thought. I am a sucker for any game that features trains, however, so that balances things out somewhat.
Choo-Choo Charles strikesSteamon December 9th. Surely this will end up being a movie? Somebody get Ringo Starr on the phone.
