A fun little multiplayer game, I think the platform could have been a bit bigger, since we kept falling off without even hitting each other. A really neat idea though. Well done.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

It's a fun concept but it's a shame I couldn't really test it, being a 2 player game.

One thing I would mention, it felt as if the characters were on ice, which in my opinion doesn't really fit the western theme :)

Developer

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of feedback about the slippery controls. I'll have to touch that up when the jam ends. Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

Fun concept! I liked the chaotic nature of trying to shoot the other player. A simple AI would've been nice for testing, as controlling both at the same time was a little difficult.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I'd definitely like to add a single-player mode in the future.

Submitted

Really nice game and the concept is solid

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Cool game and great with friends! Would love some singleplayer Ai

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'd like to add a singleplayer mode in the future, but I only had time to program one mode.

Submitted

Cool game and great with friends! Would love some singleplayer Ai

Submitted

Ahahah i love the idea!! Too bad we can't play alone

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Ha, that's awesome! I'll need to come back to this one to play it with my sister when I can. I love how you can knock the other person off to their death lol.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Throwing random stuff out of my gun was very funny. I don't know if this was intentional but the movement of the cowboys were very sluggish. Overall good job!

Developer

Thank you. I'm going to refine the controls when the jam ends.

Submitted

I really love the concept, though I do wish that there was some support for a single player mode

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to make the AI in the short time, but I'd like to try adding it in the future.

Submitted

Cool idea. While I couldn't take advantage of the multiplayer aspect of it, I can image it being pretty fun. The major problem for me however, are the ice physics. It makes movement feel more of a pain rather than a neccessity in these types of games. Overall, cool concept. I hope to see it be continued with

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix the movement when the jam ends.

Submitted

Fun concept! Reminds me of some old school hot seat multiple players game on PC! 

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

nice game. Loved it

Developer

Thank you. I'm glad you had fun!

Submitted

The ice physics make it pretty difficult to control your character, but other than that the game is great! I am surprised that you chose to create a multiplayer game here,  but it's good. Maybe you should consider adding a singleplayer mode against an AI or something for people who want to enjoy your game solo?

Developer(+1)

I'll fix up the controls soon, and I would like to add a singleplayer mode in the future. Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

It is rare to see a multiplayer here! Bold choice! 

The random projectile is fun, but not when you shoot it and it hurt yourself, maybe you should reconsider that! Great game overall!

Developer

Yeah, I'm going to have to fix that bug. I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway.

Submitted

Nice work creating a multiplayer game and such a range of projectiles in a jam.

Developer

I wanted to add a lot more projectiles, but I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Nice way.
I liked the random objects i.e The Fish
Check this video for my reviews.
Do rate my game as well.

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Nice art style, sounds feel good, but controls a bit slow and slippery IMO.

Developer

I'll definitely touch up the controls once the jam ends. Thanks for playing.

Submitted

Quite ambitious to make a multiplayer jam game, nice job on that.

Developer

Thank you. I had a lot of fun testing it out with my little brother.

Submitted

I like how the bullet shoots out random projectiles, that's interesting.  However, the controls did not feel very good at all.  They felt way too slippery in my opinion.

I think it would have been better if you knew what projectile was coming next, so you could adapt to the situation and act accordingly, rather than just randomly firing a projectile.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! If I made a new version--with more time--I think I would add some sort of indicator of what's coming.
