Creative game :) I'm sure that with more polish and a multiplayer it can become a good full party game. Congratulations!

Really fun concept that fits the theme well. The controls seem a bit too floaty and too quick, kinda to the point where it becomes annoying. However other than that this game has a bunch of potential and really only needs a few small polish related changes to become a really great game. Good job!!!

Also I'd really appreciate feedback for my game (Only if you want to) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695512

That is one crazy train. Fun game. I like how you have to manage multiple jobs at the same time. I had a small problem where the turret would not shoot at the bandits, but besides that you did a good job. Well done :)

Game is pretty fun! Really nice presentation. The game can be cheesed though. You can beat the game by crafting and placing no turrets. Since you can repair the wheels? that that cowboys are aiming at, you can just spam repair on one until the timer runs out. Otherwise, pretty great game :D

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed playing it!
As for the cheesing, unfortunately we didn't have enough time to do all the play-testing we needed,  and we just thought people would be too preocupied with the turrets to think about doing that lol.

This one is pretty cool! The art looks really good and it's fun, and I think it fits the theme really well. I found the movement a little weird, sometimes it snaps to the direction I press and sometimes it takes time to turn to the direction, but overall a good entry!

Thank you! This was actually a combined effort of 2 students and a professor, and was our first attempt together for a jam, so im just happy we were able to make a stable version at the end of this.
