Very original game, like the fast pace nature and the mechanics.
Simple but quite fun. At some point it got to fisticuffs and I just yeeted the enemy off the screen, but I didn't get a victory message, so I was just kinda stuck there.
Cool game! I enjoyed the music and the slow motion fit really well with the game. I thought it was interesting that I could kill myself with the gun, surprised it wasn't a secret ending. I also never got to any stages beyond the first, although I see a few others in the screenshots, am I missing something?
If you wanted to improve, I suggest an 'arcade' mode where there are several other enemies and that each time the gun is used, another spawns. You could even take that a step further and experiment with it as a local or online party game. I think it could have some real potential if mixed with a bunch of other western style minigames.
Overall, super fun!
Really simple but super cool! I enjoyed just trying a bunch of weird things to see what happens (playing with the pause button especially). I feel like there was definitely potential for other unique end game messages (shooting yourself using timestop, whoops) and I couldn't figure out what to do with the water bucket thing but overall very much enjoyed!
Better than the Dead Eye skill in RDR. Super charming game :)
I think I only found 3 ways to beat the game.
Great job nonetheless!
Thank you for the compliment! ^^
Here are all 4 ways you can win the game currently:
- Win as intended: kill the enemy by either beating him or shooting
- The same as 1st, but also using the feature of attacking and moving while paused (one of the rule breakers)
- Leave the screen (flee the battlefield)
- Brake the gun
'not a bug it's a feature' xD this was awesome! Fun and creative -loved the polish too -felt great to play! nice work! :D
