(You already know this, but I'm leaving this comment on all games I play so...) Played this on stream. Check out the vod here for my thoughts. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007516720?t=00h15m20s
Really cool idea. It's a fun challenge trying master managing both of cowboy and the ghost. It took some time to get used to but I think that's just because it's such an unusual mechanic. :) I struggled a bit with cursor disappearing, but I seen you explain that was intended to make the game less easy. It meant I just had to change up my tactics to a move, stop, shoot strategy.
Anyway, Great game!
Wow thank you so much! And you perfectly got the idea of the game :D A shoot 'em up with a little twist and a different mechanic. I understand that the cursor disappearing when you move is maybe being weird to some people, but you're right that it was to have players adapt to a move, stop, and shoot strategy, which is hopefully more fun and challenging.
Cheers again for checking the game!
Nice game, I especially liked the graphics.
NP: I have to note that it's hard to play with touchpad :)
Thanks for playing! Yeah when I was testing I realized it was very tricky when the touchpad, I guess it's more of a mouse and keyboard game ;)
Whenever you move the cursor disappears, not sure if that is intended as it makes the game harder, but other than that pretty great.
Yeah that is intentional as I found it a bit too easy when you could still aim perfectly while moving. Hopefully it works to make it a bit more challenging.
Thanks for checking out the game!
Interrsting idea
but i cant see the mouse to shoot
Fun game and concept! A lot more challenging that I thought it would be, which was good! If I were to nitpick one thing, it would be that the sfx/music don't really fit the design. That said, the design and sound are both high-quality!
Cheers for checking out the game and the kind words! That's good feedback about the sound. I'll be looking for different sfx after the jam ;)
Very interesting concept. My mouse cursor disappeared after a bit though, and I couldn't figure out what to do to fix that. The visuals are good and the sounds too.
Ah, it might have disappeared out of view of the canvas. I guess it's better off just restarting if you've lost track of the cursor. Free feel to give it another go and just try to keep the cursor inside the canvas view :)
Thanks so much for the kind words and checking out the game!
