Game description
You are a rogue student turned cowboy for hire. Use your skills to manipulate students via lasso.
Theme interpretation
The theme "Secrets" influenced the core gameplay of my game as the main mechanic is about spreading secrets. The player player uses their cowboy with a lasso to manipulate NPCS into passing the secret to one another as quickly as possible.
Wildcards used (optional)
Speed Run
Make time the enemy

Nice idea. Fun. The level sort maybe not exact. The 8level is the hardest for me. I think it can divide into 3 modes to. Spread only, true false fight, and police. They are 3 different experiences. And then need music volume setting.
Didn't expect the title to be so literal, that was some good fun.
Very interesting idea! I thought the rope physics were a cool idea and the method of spreading rumors was hilarious. Great work!
Very cool with the theme interpretation. I especially liked that starting from the 2nd level I was really into the speed run aspect.
I enjoyed the music as well!
You nailed the theme, this is such an absurd an original take at it I loved it!
It's not really a complaint, but I noticed the levels where you have the truth-tellers are very very hard compared to the other ones. Yet, I liked the diversity you introduced with the different situations.
Thanks for making that game :)
That was one heck of a bizarre speedrun... and I loved it. A hilariously clever take on the theme with equally amusing combinations of little characters. It's super simple, yet just as original. Fantastic little game!
Very cool idea, had a bit hard time understanding when rumor spread. Would love to play more!
Interesting idea and theme interpretation, nice job!
the idea is so brilliant.I Loved The Game
Love the idea and swinging people around never gets old
NIce cute and smart idea! Love the lasso mechanics
I really enjoyed this one! A very clever concept, and super cute :). The only nitpick I have is that I wished lasso & unlasso were the same button, would have felt more natural (and potentially freed up right-click for a secondary action).
I loved this game! All of the mechanics were very unique, the lassoing especially was so satisfying to use, and even though it might've been a bug, I liked how you could lasso two people at once if you stood close enough to them. All of the new ideas you introduced from level to level just added to the complications, and it's a really good micro-speedrunning game to boot! Awesome!
This actually was a bug at first but I found it a really fun trick so I left it in, it happens when the lasso hits two NPCS at the same time.
The mechanic of lassoing people is really cool and unique. I found it quite difficult to get the hang of but I can tell its a skill issue.
First I thought, just move people around it make a sprite appear on their head, but then I got the real essence of the game.
You can make this rumour spreading thing into countless levels. Amazing. Loved the art and game. Music was fitting too.
Please play mine’s too: https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2024/rate/3148292
The game definitely does have a solid grasp on itself. I think that it's basically glitchless, but it would be best served in combination with different gameplay elements. The idea is very cool of using people to spread rumors to others, almost like a plague, but the basics you have here could fit a lot of themes. Congratulations on this, it works great for your concept.
This was a really cute game and a great idea! I loved the concept, definitely very original. I did find it slightly frustrating bumping into the NPCs all the time, maybe having smaller collisions will allow the player easier movement. Best I could do was 1 star lol. Great work!
