Very beautiful graphics and very engaging plot.
I really love the concept of a martian western, very creative use of the theme!
The story rushes some things but is overall pretty engaging.
Unfortunately the web version performance leaves a lot to be desired and makes the game feel a bit janky.
Not a fan of the AI graphics.
Thanks for the feedback!
The web version is the entire game - it's made in twine using html, CSS and JavaScript so a big part of the jankiness is me still figuring out how to make stuff and learning how to code. The original version of the archery minigame was in my last game Delve - you just clicked buttons to select your aim (high/medium/low) and draw strength. This new iteration was a project for me to learn how to create CSS animations and SVG maps which interacted with JavaScript functions.
Do you have any suggestions for ways to improve the minigame?
Improving the overlay images is the first goal. Those were some 11th hour creations heh. I was thinking of adding a reticle overlay which the player could adjust to different power levels to see where the shot should hit if they are at 50% or 25% power, for example. That would help focus the game around the timing element.
Which parts of the story feel most rushed to you? Where did you feel like you wanted to explore the world a bit more? I'm going to be expanding this out for a future feedback jam, and would appreciate your feedback!
Thanks again for playing :)
I don't usually play many point and click games but I'm really glad I gave this a try! The setting is really cool and the shooting minigames are a nice addition. I'm quite busy at the moment so haven't been able to fully finish it but it is clear there is a lot of content as well. Overall its a really impressive game :D
Thanks for giving it a play! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
