- Really fun game and a unique theme implementation! I love the mechanics and pacing, shooting the targets feels incredibly satisfying. Upgrades are meaningful and unique. I would say the game could use more contrast and vibrance in the visuals, maybe with a drop shadow but overall a really good game.
- Satisfying to play, shooting felt nice! Small details like SFX and screen shake make this a nice game.
- Pretty straightforward for the theme, but very well done! Shop and ammo systems feel well balanced and the art is gorgeous. Satisfying to switch between guns. Could have benefitted from visual indicators of which animals are meant to be shot vs ignored rather than relying on player memorization (ex: red outline, green outline). Great typography for the title
- It was sooo satisfying to play, each gun felt really good to shoot. Little things like the screen shake and the changing gun mechanic really polish this submission for me.

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 34:34 <3
Super solid game loop, great work with this one!
Such a great game, feels extremely polished honestly great work!
This game is great! So much fun, it kept me playing for a long time haha.
The art, music, and animations are very polished, and the gameplay feels very smooth and polished. It's truly an excellent job well done! :D
It's a VERY cool game. I'm writing these words for the second time: I hope you win.
The implementation is just great, everything is smooth and beautiful. Everyone likes to shoot with a double-barreled shotgun, but I hope that the sounds of the machine gun will change to something more powerful, otherwise it sounds the weakest.
This game was actually so much fun!!! This feels like a legit game rather than one made for a jam!! This was freaking awesome great job on everything!
This is so fun. I am going to steal ideas from this, like the smooth loop that ends in a shop to create the gameplay loop. So smart. You could post this on steam with slightly more content. My only complaint is that the wolves feel kind of unfair. They damage me by attacking things before I even react! But awesome game. I got to Round 15 or something.
wolves are ok, but they should probably warn you that they are going to eat something. game loop is actually from balatro lol
I know the game loop is from Balatro, but the looping background and static animations (because you're in a cart) is a very smart way to cut down on art.
Really good this one, cool idea to have on rails shooter, really liked this one.
Definitely one of the best games in this jam, it’s got a great loop, great music, sfx, theme, etc etc. Really impressive work, great job!
This.. This is just peak.
This is reaallyy good! I'm honestly extremely impressed. Well done!!
Yeah this was really good, the only thing that I didn't really like was not being able to access the how to play in between rounds. I quickly glanced through the enemies in the beginning but didn't remember most of their interactions. Luckily most of them were pretty intuitive but the big bolder guy and the dog I just shot them when I saw them but randomly they attacked another target one time and I still don't really know what they do. But the game was really fun. Also the mouse smoothing I hate that but I got used to it
actually.... I wanted it to become invisible so you can access it in shop but... I was afraid something will work off (like you'll buy something accidently) but more like "who will ever read that lol". thanks for reply
This game is really good! Well done.
a masterclass of game desing!
Actually insane. Gameplay is smooth, sound effects are there, and a solid gameplay loop. Great job!
this game rocks! the guns all feel useful for their own situations, and the power ups are fun to accumulate over time. This one is a blast!
