Liked the visuals and feel game has, controls were responsive and I encountered little bug where dynamite landed on horse's back and killed three of them since I couldn't do anything haha, nice entry anyways and wish you all the best!

Simple and fun game! Would love to have a score system in it. btw, sometimes the dynamite landed on the horse's back, so I could reach it to save the poor animal… that was cruel but also kinda fun, haha

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Cheers

Using ChatGPT as help for making the scripts shouldn't get you disqualified, so don't worry. The game is good, although I kind of have to interpret the theme into this game myself for it to be clear, so I'd hope you could elaborate on that. With that said, I know you only had 4 days on this and I think it is well done for that short of a period. To end the game, a dynamite fell on top of the horse, and I had to accept my faith.

To clarify, I do not think that ChatGPT is a "bad" tool to use. It shouldn't be relied on, but it can really help for sparking ideas and solve problems fast.

yeah the theme is a bit stretched here, I didn't get to the part where bandits were throwing the dynamite sticks which would have more of an "outlaw" feel. But the wild west environment is outlaw-ish I think!


Thanks for playing and making me feel less guilty of using chatgpt! Cheers

This is hands down one of the best entries I’ve played. Everything feels so well put together!

Developer

It's an interesting concept, playing as a tumbleweed to stop dynamite from blowing up horses. fun, short, yet challenging.

there are however a couple of issues I found, first is that sometimes it blows up after I interact with it, mostly for long ones.

second is that the dynamite ended up on top of the horse, making it impossible to reach it and I end up losing a horse as a result.

still fun, though my amusement fell short when I saw 'ChatGPT' in your description.

Developer

yeah I'm a bit ashamed about chatGPT and I would feel the same as you did. I'm glad I used it though, since it made me realize how I hated it. I thought it would make the process faster, but it was painful and probably not much faster in the end. Debugging was a nightmare.


Thanks for taking the time to play the game and mentionning bugs!

Great work with the camera and an excellent concept. The gameplay is simple, but addictive. It would be fun if the wind also moved dynamite or other objects. Great job!

Developer

good idea with the wind! Thanks for trying it out, cheers!

Fun game the moment I started a stick of dynamite landed on a horse's head so they REALLY don't like those horses and could use a high score system if you update it after the jam

Developer

yeah I wish I had the time to do a UI, but I managed the last hours debugging some game breaking stuff so I had to scrap that...

Thanks for playing bud!
