Well done participating in trijam! Hope to see more entries in the future! Did get 4 out of 4, but didn't get the logic, what was it? :D

The original idea was to win by wasting all of your bullets, but receive some sort of "okay" score if you only shot the "bad" guys.  We strayed from that and some miscommunication led to the ending message being what it is.  I can't fully answer your question on the logic behind it due to poor planning haha.  

Definitely going to participate in more trijams!  I think these will also help how I approach 48/72 hour game jams too

Very well! Planning a 3 hour game is much easier than 48h and those planning skills can then be applied for bigger projects :)

It's a nice twist that you have no idea upfront what or who you're facing, and the moment the targets are revealed yielded surprise most of the time.

What leaves a bitter aftertaste IMO though is the ending screen that says you "correctly" guessed which one, in my eyes, to kill without motivation. There's no backstory as to why I have to shoot one of them, why it's "right" to kill one but not the other. The peaceful music and the setting inside a house with a nice view only adds to my disturbance . That can IMO be a plus if you want to confront the player with their own moral failures or address some event in history, for example, but without context it just doesn't work for me.

I hear you and I agree haha.  We went over the time limit and decided to leave the game be, knowing that it doesn't make any sense.  

I'm glad to hear that the music made it more disturbing!!! :D

I like the mechanics. I kinda got lost who I should shot though xD The game definitely brought smile to my face, thanks!

This game is super quirky and has a strong personality for sure! Not sure if I totally understand how to win, especially in some of the matchups where both people seemed to be "good guys". I really enjoyed the artwork for the targets though, especially some of the more humorous ones.

Understood haha, and thanks!  Quirky was the goal :)
