The game is nice and relaxing. Not a fan of the genre, but I enjoyed the graphics and especially the music. if the music was made by you, please tell me if you used a software or if you recorded any instrument. I am the composer of my game's music so I easely get interested when I hear some good tracks. Anyways, well done.

Nice theme and visuals, mechanics a bit too shallow, some kind of extra strategy on resources enemies would be great!!

Submitted

Fun endless runner, although I wish there was a way to fight back instead of just dodging. Good Job!

This is a well made little game! Sometimes it wasn't obvious why I died, but overall it was easy to control and has nice visuals and audio. I agree with other comments that it would be fun to be able to run over the bandits. My high score was 1698. Great work!

Fun minigame! I really like the art and graphics. They really provided a nice wild west atmosphere. Would like a way to fight back against the shooters though.

The setting is really distinctive especially with the game jam theme - it also felt rewarding to collect more wagons, even if I'm not sure what perks they have. I wish there was a way to defend against being shot, since the longer I got, the faster I was taken out. Even with this, I enjoyed my time with this game.

awesome game. Great graphics and I like the bandits. Would be cool to be able to defend too. Easily one of my favorites!

nice game i got 640 score

Love the art work. Great game!

This is simply one of best examples for how much, with how little. You nailed so many things with simple concept and pretty damn good atmosphere. I was IN your game, for a WHILE, and it wa so GOOD

Submitted

Rated! Nice graphics. I love hand painted art. I used pixel art, so I guess that's similar.

If you don't mind, could you check out my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.

Was having a hard time figuring out how this game fit the theme, then I seen the wagon and picked it up with other peeps on it. The music was good, didnt quite fit the theme but it was good, I dont understand what the red/blue bars are for. Good concept liked it thank you for showing it.

i like the control with the mouse. it would be even more fun if you could run over the trigger-happy cowboys and crush them!

I love the simplistic artstyle and gameplay concept.
In the end it boils down to move randomly though, as dodging the bullets doesn't work that well and you don't know where the crates will be.

With a little more gameplay elements that steer away from the highscore aspect this game can turn into something amazing though and It's totally worth making a post jam version of this.
 
I imagine there could be a larger living world, different wagon types, quests that drive a story, settlements, currency and bandit hideouts. (Just throwing some random ideas here)

It's incredible how many possibilities there are with this simple concept.

Thanks!  Your ideas for this sound great, and I think i'll have to look into those.

Submitted

Cool game, I enjoyed the gameplay and the idea was cool. Something to improve on is making more content eg. Different/harder enemies that appeared the higher your score was. A great game overall, what a good submission. If you would be so kind to rate my game, but its entirely up to you :)

Submitted

I really like the game idea, I thought it was really hard though, it felt like once someone shot at me, it was really difficult to prevent getting hit, which I wish was a little easier. Other than that, really fun game!

Game was fun, graphics and audio were really good. I wish I could crash into bandits. Since its a highscore game, score could be gained from materials or other stuff instead of time. Well, I liked it!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!  I originally planned on allowing you to crash into the bandits and maybe shoot back at them, but ended up running out of time.
