Super simple but fun game mechanic, hard to get a good score and definitely replayable! Great job!

The smoke particle when you shoot accumulates and can obstruct the vision, if you unparent it or spawn/instance it separated from the gun object you could solve this partially, but if you want a smooth effect, I'd suggest adding vertical velocity to it over time after the particle spawns on top of that.

Cheers ;)

It's super simple which is understandable due to your lack of time, but what you have made is really fun! As previous commenters said, I love the black and white aesthetic. It's really fun to play the game too, I played quite a few rounds. Great work!

Excellent visuals, you captured an amazing Wild West feel. Love the choice to make things black and white it felt like being in an old Western movie. I know you had mentioned that you had some more planned but I think you pulled off an awesome little shooting gallery! Great fun!

Noticed right away the mouse movement is very fast, jerky, sudden, and blurry, so I might hold off on rating this one at all for the moment, and comment only until I may check if it's because I tested on machine with too low specs. I can try and see if I have machine available with higher specs just in case but, maybe not. In which case, I may prefer not to rate your entry at all then. But so far it did look really fun to me so I might try and check on it some more if I get some time.

Really liked your game, though I did have troubles hitting them but that is probably def me.... as first person shooters are not a mama's best friend LOL I am lucky they weren't shooting back.  Great job!
