Looks cool, plays cool, sounds cool. The hobbyhorser is in town! Thanks for the webgl build. I was expecting the main character to won’t die. Still it died. So I guess the idea is that the player should help the character not to die.
Glad you liked it!
The theme wasn't implemented as as planned, unfortunately :(
Definitly a cool thing you made here. Loved the voices gives it a nice feeling. Had just a bug where the dead voice line was played twice simultaniously. Also it's really hard game
Thank youu!
Yeah, that's one of the audio bugs that happens on the web build only, and didn't have time to fix it :(
Love this. So fun! Animation choice was great, voice acting was funny, horse riding anim was cool.. I ran around town shooting everyone before I realised I was supposed to go into the Saloon (even thoug the chat _literally_ told me to do that..) - once I did, I attacked the 3 ladies ... got totally destroyed.. played again and thought "Ah, this time I'll just pick the single dude behind the bar!" then got attacked by the entire town which I think was just a fantastic experience.. super cool fun. Great work :D (...only critique was not having a targetting reticule frustrated me a little bit)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, you never mess with the guy who pours the drinks XD
Great work Tom. Loved this one! Great idea & execution! Awesome job on the Voice Lines also folks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool game! Would have liked a reticle to help out a bit. Not sure how the theme plays into it since everyone was dead by the end. haha! Really cool cinematics and love a good western vibe!
Thanks! Yeah, the theme didn't end up in the game unfortunately XD
Cool voice lines and the synty assets really pop. The game was a little tough with no reticule however could for sure be made into a really fun game! nice work everyone. The level set was really fun to explore also.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I wanted a spray and pray rather than aim carefully and headshot the enemy XD
Love the cinematics / VO, they really add a lot of depth in the game! Personally i went around spamming R + left click, infinite ammo bug Ayyy Would of loved to have a reticle, as i ended up rushing the targets in melee range to unload on them.
Got suprised when longbottom ended up being the whole bar lmao
Good job man! Super huge entry
Thank you <3
It's not a bug, it's a feature :D It's the spray and pray technique. I use it myself as well.
The Longbottom surprise was something hard to hide. Had to work on that off stream as well XD
Love the intro. Aiming was hard. Really like the fact you can choose a character. Great job!
Aiming was hard on purpose for a spray and pray feeling. Maybe I took it a bit too far XD
Thank you for playing!!
The intro was hilarious, hoping the player's "gun" was just their index finger with thumb up in line with the horse, but interesting premise and looks great!
OMG that's a great idea! I wish you were around when working on this, I'd totally do that XD Thanks for playing!
Without the addition of an aim reticle, it was very challenging to tell where I was shooting at any given time, but the visuals and voice acting were awesome!
Thank you!! Aiming was hard on purpose. It was more of a spray and pray then aim carefully and headshot the enemy :D Glad you enjoyed it
really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game. ads was missing the s and the a, mouse aim was not fun, it might be bound to tick so consider adding a tick time multiplier the the input (mouse motion didn't translate to in game rotation, however mouse motion time translated to in game turn rate, very bad feelin). can't wait for the full release pending the bug fixes :)
Thanks for playing!
Sorry you had issues with the aim, I will look into fixing that with the update.
YESS BUGFIXERS!
Epic game! love all of it especially the character animations
Thank you <3
Never pick a fight with the bartender when is patrons are still a alive is my new moto.
I'm so happy I added that twist XD
So much fun, Pray Spray and mash the reload button.. I figured i was picking a fight with a solo bartender.. Don't mess with the guy serving drinks.. i guess.
Great voice acting
Glad you enjoyed it! And that you picked on that strategy :D
I liked playing it when I figured out what was going on. Lots of Synty assets used. Were there any original models mixed in there too? Good job coding it all together, nice one.
Thanks! With this jam I wanted to focus on the cinematics and animations. I just used a Synty pack
Ok, this is super impressive and my actually favorite of the jam so far! Well done! The VO, gameplay, animations and story are all well done! <3 I had some trouble inferringthe theme, but, its so good though.
Thank you!! The theme didn't come out as I hoped it would
It is still super well made though! <3
