Came in for the pencil sketchy style, stayed for the competition. Well done! I got down to 1.35s!
Weird, the image didn't work. Guess you'll just have to take my word for it!
The art style is beautiful :) I would love to see some more things/games with this art style. The sound effects fits really good to your game. Maybe you could add levels and more guns after the jam. :)
Really good game :)
it's absolutely a hand draw art game :)) the cursor is hard to see and why the game is too slow, i mean it like the game being lagging
Very unique art style! And the title makes me laugh lol. Would have liked more levels (maybe even moving targets?). Pretty cool!
I love the name lol it fits so well with the game!
I love the concept, the art, the sound effects, and the replayability.
The one thing I can't see is how this is "connection" themed, please let me know what your take on this was!
Glad you liked the game friend :D
The way I interpreted the theme was slightly strange and took "connection" to mean people you have connections with regards to businesses. I then went along with this line of thinking and came to the idea of an informant or connection within a criminal organization. In the game this person you are have a connection with is called the "contact".
Ok yeah, that's what I was thinking, in that case, I think you had a very creative way of interpreting the theme and did a fantastic job! A+ game bro.
The art style you went for with this game looks great, and the sounds match as well. There's not really anything bad to say about this game other than that it's a very short game. Maybe some more levels or something to have different levels to shoot for highscores on.
Planning to release a huge update to the game tomorrow! Hope y'all like it :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Simple and fun but the art style is what really made this cool! Sounds were also nice and added a lot to the game!
Preciate it friend! Means more to me than you know! :DWow the art looks really nice, good job! The game its simple but fun, i enjoy it a lot.
Thanks :D
The aesthetic was sooo good! The idea was also pretty solid but the lack of development made it a bit hard to judge further than that. Still I definetly see potential for more levels and stakes that would make even more fun!
Planning on releasing a large update to the game with more content! I hope you get a chance to try it again and judge it further :))
It makes me so happy to hear how much everyone has loved the art! Thank you :D
I enjoyed this short little game, janky art included, it gave it a really unique feel and look. Like someone else mentioned I just had trouble seeing the cursor sometimes.
Thanks for the kind words! "Janky" is honestly how I described the art to friends and family when pitching it haha.
Planning on fixing that cross hair for tomorrow's update! Hope it fixes it for you and everyone else.
Its a really short game, my record was 1.87 seconds. The art style is really unique, the only thing I dislike was the cursor, it was sometimes hard to see. This top down look remind me of hotline miami.
Wow, I think you have the record now! Congratulations!
Really sorry about the cursor, need to get that fixed ASAP!
Hotline Miami was actually a huge inspiration, glad it came through! If you look closely you'll notice that the chair sprite is actually the same as that from hotline miami, just hand-drawn. :D
Super niche art style and game design! I am impressed by all the different kinds of games I see in game jams and this is definitely one of the most unique ones.
My only suggestion is to mix up the gameplay more with more levels, obstacles, interactable objects, multiple contacts, moving the player during the game, etc. This is a simple idea that you could take very far. You could choose to add a new mechanic in each level and keep adding mechanics, or you could swap out mechanics in each level and make each level very different from the rest. It would be cool to require the player to bounce their bullet off of bouncing walls in order to kill their targets without touching the contact, or a level where you have to go into slow motion because the targets and contact are constantly moving around, or where the player moves in a circle around the targets, etc.
This was originally only going to be a small game jam game that I made to practice my skills and combat my insecurity about my art.
Having heard how much everyone loves the art and the concept of the game has made me want to grow it into so much more!
That being said...
I may or may not have to steal some of your ideas lol
Tomorrow will have a large update with more content, more levels, another game mode (hopefully) and possibly a variety mode if I find the time to implement it! Hope you get a chance to try it and let me know what you think :)
Love the art style. Thought the same as PaulPlay in regards to the cars. Would be cool if the bad guys made an attempt at killing the hostage, or if the characters moved around a little. Neat style, everyone likes it, I think you found something unique you do that people like
Thanks for the feedback! Planning on updating it tomorrow with some of your suggestions!
Very nice game with a neat art direction, fun and juicy mechanics. My only criticism would be that the cars stick out a lot and I thought that they're obstalces (which would have been quite cool as well) so I always tried to not hit them. Keep up your good work and good luck for the jam!
I'm so sorry about the cars D:
I worried that they might be considered as obstacles so my instinct was to lower the opacity, looks like it wasn't enough thought haha.
Gotta figure out a way to make the cars stick out less!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Either way a very cool game! You could also make the cars actual obstacles and stick out more, would be interesting as well ;)
Simple but well executed. I love the art style, I'm not sure it matches the genre of the game, but that's not a big issue.
Great work!
Thanks for the kind words friend :D
Might have to consider changing the genre of the game to better suit it. What do you think might fit better?
i love the paper art style and the general idea of the old school sniper type game, there were some randomized variations where i had no choice but to hit the contact haha
So sorry about those instances of having to murder a poor innocent contact D:
I'll be sure to fix the problem for tomorrow's update!
Thanks for the kind words about the art style :))
Surprisingly addictive game. I found myself playing over and over again. Good job!
Glad to hear it was addictive :D
I wanted people to try again and again to better their times! I hope the new content tomorrow will make you wanna play some more!
As mentioned by others very cool art style! But the mouse cursor is kinda hard to see. Other than that very cool!
Sorry about the cursor, I'll be fixing it for tomorrow!
Honestly the amount of people liking the art is making my heart hurt. It makes me so happy to hear something I was so insecure about is appreciated by so many! :D
I'm really impressed by how well this game was put together, a simple game with a simple art style to back it up.
Thanks friend :D
First off, I'm so impressed by the art style of this game. The pencil look is so innovative and creative, well done. The gameplay is simple and really solid, I love this game.
Thanks for the kind words friend! Means so much to me to hear you liked it :)
