Ahh. Nice way to incorporate the time pressure into the game mechanic. I'm having a hard time finding my target but I think the trackpad is the issue more than the game :D Graphically very pleasing too! Could definitely be improved with some tense music and a wind sfx that intensifies when the wind is high.

I like the gameplay here.
I only wish it had music. If I was doing it, I would have something tense and driving, that got more muffled, slightly quieter/ distorted when you hold down the shift key. Create a track, and then run it through some distortion (specifically a low pass filter and maybe some extra reverb) and add in a heartbeat sound so now you have two tracks to fade between when shift is pressed.
on a related note, I just recently listened to the Dunkirk soundtrack.
Let me know if you want to collaborate, or if you are happy with the game as-is
To clarify, this is sort of what I was thinking: https://on.soundcloud.com/4prsQ
(sometimes it is easiest for me to prevent fixating thinking about a thing to just do said thing.)
It feels really good once you learn the trajectory and start actually landing shots, one of my favorite games I've played so far
There is so much here! I really appreciate how many different mechanics you successfully wove into 20 seconds of gameplay! Procedural objectives, wind, bullet drop, breath-controlled scope swaying, etc. The result is a truly immersive simulation! I would absolutely play a longer version of this game.
The colors all complemented each other, and the art was fantastic - clear and cute without distracting from gameplay.
I noticed that the crosshair could not reach the edges of the screen. Is this intentional? What happens if your target wanders off-screen? Do they appear elsewhere? Or have you blown your window of opportunity?
I like the Hitman/Sniper Elite vibe, but man are those shots hard to make.
Very challenging, it takes you 5-sec to read target's description and 14-sec to find them :D
Nice gameplay and sounds! I found i actualy to be pretty hard. Sure did kept my attention for a while.
