Throws you right in and lets you work it out yourself. Lot of fun!
Very original game, like the fast pace nature and the mechanics.
Simple but quite fun. At some point it got to fisticuffs and I just yeeted the enemy off the screen, but I didn't get a victory message, so I was just kinda stuck there.
I have just patched the game with this miss fixed. Thanks for pointing it out!
Cool game! I enjoyed the music and the slow motion fit really well with the game. I thought it was interesting that I could kill myself with the gun, surprised it wasn't a secret ending. I also never got to any stages beyond the first, although I see a few others in the screenshots, am I missing something?
If you wanted to improve, I suggest an 'arcade' mode where there are several other enemies and that each time the gun is used, another spawns. You could even take that a step further and experiment with it as a local or online party game. I think it could have some real potential if mixed with a bunch of other western style minigames.
Overall, super fun!
Thank you for the ideas! They will come in handy.
Regarding the levels, no, you are not missing anything. It's just a bug that didn't allow the game to switch them, I will soon release a patch that fixes the bug.
Simple but fun game!
The feelings are pretty nice and the slowmo is well executed.
The music is very nice.
I discovered a bug (just to break your description :p): the game crashed if I killed myself with the gun.
Thank you for pointing it out! I guess you didn't just break the rules, you broke the whole game, haha.
This is super creative and a lot of fun! I enjoyed the sand-boxiness of experimenting to find out what I could do to win.
Also, to sate my curiosity, is there a way to do anything with the water circle?
Thanks for playing! Currently, this water puddle is just a remainder of debugging period when I was testing tilemap collisions. There's no use to for as for now. I'm glad you enjoyed trying out ways to win :)
Really simple but super cool! I enjoyed just trying a bunch of weird things to see what happens (playing with the pause button especially). I feel like there was definitely potential for other unique end game messages (shooting yourself using timestop, whoops) and I couldn't figure out what to do with the water bucket thing but overall very much enjoyed!
Thank you for the suggestion about suicide, that would be fun :D
The water on the level has no use currently.
Better than the Dead Eye skill in RDR. Super charming game :)
I think I only found 3 ways to beat the game.
Great job nonetheless!
Thank you for the compliment! ^^
Here are all 4 ways you can win the game currently:
How do you get to the river?
The reason why you can not get to the level shown on the screenshots is a silly bug that is already fixed by now. I had 3 different levels, one of which is that you have played. As soon as the rating period ends, I will release an update that will include a fix.
'not a bug it's a feature' xD this was awesome! Fun and creative -loved the polish too -felt great to play! nice work! :D
Thank you for your kind words and feedback!
