I love the audio and visuals of the game. The fact that spraying water pushes you around is really funny and it makes movement very interesting. I wish you could use that to your advantage though because usually the targets I wanted to hit would be out of range whenever I sprayed for too long. Also I don't know if this was just me, but I didn't see a health bar so I didn't know when I had taken too much damage. This a fun time. Good work!
Hey thanks for playing! So glad you enjoyed it! I really liked the idea of the water pushing you around but in practice ended up being kind of clunky since we didn’t have time to tweak it and whatnot.
I should have mentioned it in the description but hydration is your health. Was the water meter visible for you?
Oh! Sorry for the late reply, but upon replay, I can see the water meter now. It's just kinda tiny but it's there.
Audio and visually, it was a delightful game, but I could not get to grip the player controls.
Thanks for the feedback! I addressed this and will upload the new version after the jam ends. :)
I love the graphics, but I found the player's control not easy to handle
Thanks, Wampy! I did some more work on the controls. Will upload the update after the jam ends :)
The graphics are all very well done! I like that you took the time to animate everything. It made it feel very lively. I had a hard time with the actual gameplay because of the movement, and it didn't seem like my spray did very much? But I love the idea and the aesthetic. Nice work!
Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback! I addressed some issues with the movement and hit detection. Will upload the new build after the jam ends :)
Nice Game! The movement was a lil rough but the audio and visuals are great! Good job!

Hey thanks! Addressed the movement and will upload the updated version after the jam ends. :)
This was... Testing my panic level :P Good job.
hahaha, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
Great art and audio!
The movement and hitboxes feel a little janky,
but over all a very cool game!
Yeaaah, wanted to clean those up a bit but ran out of time T.T Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
Addressed these issues. Will upload the new build after the jam ends :)
Hands down the best hydration based game about a cowboy named Desert Dan I've ever played.
lmao, thanks!
