The shooting was really smooth and I had fun. Great game!
Cowboy!? Yah! Cool experience!
This is a pretty fun gallery shooter with light (And I mean light like barely here) western theming and the voice at the start got a cool gruff voice and the sound effects are satisfying to hear go off, the concept of adding time by shooting targets is quite nice but there are quite a few negatives, firstly the art direction has confused the hell out of me, the cover image is pixel art, then the cowboy on the menu looks like he was taken from Scribblenauts (Which is a compliment I love that series) then the initial target you shoot to start the game uses a default text texture and then the player's hand/gun looks it was taken from a photorealistic stock image like... what? Where is the consistency here? Art aside the fact that the timer starts as soon as you play is a bad idea as it gives the player little to no time to start shooting target, and a first time player surely isn't gonna realize what is going on and then get confused on why they lost. I get wanting to make the game hard but that is not a good way to do it and isn't fair for anyone new to the game, the lack of music doesn't help the game either. It's not bad overall but confusing is definitely a word I would use to describe this game as.
alright cause a lot of people did say the same Ill change the timer to start only when the player hits the blackboard also thx for playing it :)
Thank you, I will say if you wish to keep it where the timer starts as soon as you load in I suggest making that into the hard mode, and having normal mode start when you shoot the target to start the timer
hmm maybe Ill do it
Pretty fun to mess around with :)
I was a bit confused. It was difficult to figure out what to do. I got it eventually. Wish there were more content, could really make it a very unique entry, especially given that this is (from what i've seen so far) the first FPS - esque game on this jam. Still, good job and what you have made, given the short time you have had to make it. Keep it up!
Quite a funny concept. I liked it!
Not a cowboy game, but still funny. The concept is really great with the idea of the timer you can add time when you hit a target. Just, it's a bit frustrating to not be at the barrier level,it gave me the feeling that I can approach but no
Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed. Nothing about this was particularly cowboy themed. It's a shooting gallery in a brick room with a semi-automatic pistol. I was not the cowboy.
Shooting gallery itself is fine, though the positive and negative scoring seemed arbitrary until I realized the ones with the white center give you positive points and the ones with the colored center give you negative points. Maybe the penalties could be a different color to stand out? It's alright, just not much to recommend it outside the cool Woody GIF for the cover art.
I was actually making a single game for two jams so kinda mixed and messed up
Image making a game about cowboys 😂
This is actually pretty fun and matches the theme very well.
thx
I like your interpretation of the theme, and find the art style quite cool.
Well done
ty appreciate it :)
very stressful with the timer, not sure fully how play, but Great Job!
shooting the targets give you extra time but if you shoot the obstacles it will decrease the time ( obstacles have white on the outer layer )
Fun but I feel like the timer shouldn't start until you hit the first thing. 3 seconds is a really short margin to keep up!
I actually wanted to make the game hard so I did it
I liked the game, the concept is fun. It was a bit confusing sometimes. Some targets gave me minus score but I could not figure out which ones.
The obstacle targets would have white instead of a color on the outerlayer
Nice little game you made :)
I felt like the hardest part is surviving the start, later in the runs there are so many targets you can hardly lose :D
thx appreciate it
