Cute game, love the concept of ghost bullets. I included it in a compilation video series of all of the Mystic Western Game Jam games, if you'd like to take a look :)

The main idea is great, but the game it's very short, and difficult to play! Very nice anyways!

I like that you have exactly three ghost bullets, one for each villain, and that each bullet has a face and you get to choose which one to fire. And then the process of stepping through the bullet manually. There's a wonderful deliberateness here, as if this precise encounter between these 4 people was planned out perfectly and pre-ordained. But it takes place on the SW corner of a map, so it isn't "this is the entire universe, in which there are 4 people, and you kill 3 of them," it's a perfect moment in an otherwise, perhaps, messy world.

Howdy folks! I ran out of time but I did get one playable stage finished. Some issues I'm aware of:

  • No constellation :(
  • This can't turn itself off after five minutes of inactivity
  • Starts up but isn't actually playable on phones

Lovely to see something made in PICO-8 here! Enjoy the idea of "ghost bullets", but guess I wish there was a little more to it than we have right here?
