The game itself is fun. I love how simple the mechanic is. The art is also good.
Cool game. It even has cutscenes! The dodging felt a bit weird and I found out that the best strategy is to just keep spamming it when close to enemies. Also if you die in the second level you immediately get spawned in the third one. I tried to finish this level and got quite far, but I gave up. I'll try to finish it later tho, because I want to see the ending
I laughed so hard (I am a Pole lol)
Tried to replicate that glitch, do you know where you died? what mob killed you? I died like 3 times and couldn't skip the level. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks for all the kind words!
Fantastic art!!!!
Thanks so much the other artists and I worked hard on it!
This art is awesome! Gameplay is not new or really impressive, but it is still interesting and nice. A little bit polishing and this can be a good game. Maybe you should think about why character getting debuf or buff. He is drinking or bullets are have some effect and etc. Without this rules feels forced. Anyways nice submission.
Thank you! The other artists and I put in that work for this game. Appreciate the feedback we def plan on expanding on the wild mode and adding things we didn't have the time to implement.
Awesome! Great presentation but I agree with the below commenter, the rules kind of seem like a last minute thing but the game is fantastic otherwise.
I think "wild" was used here well, but for the limitation, the game mechanic alterations feel forced in. At first, I thought it was a powerup or something I picked. The marksmen are indeed tough to deal with -- it feels like you get shot the minute they come on screen.
Very impressive that there's a whole intro cutscene to the game.
I absolutely loved this one! It was really fun to play. It took me a while to get through the first level, but after I understood I just had to be quicker than the guys shooting (I was unsuccessfully trying to dodge the bullets before), it was a breeze. I did manage to dodge one bullet, which gave an awesome looking animation and I loved it.
I felt like the rules where there just because of the jam, but it didn’t really stick with the rest of the game in my opinion. I did chuckle the first time I got the inverted controls though, as it was so unexpected. Also, I couldn’t read the dialogs in the ending because I accidentally skipped them by pressing the right key, which is what I had to do to walk to the end of the level! T_T
In the end, I did it, sheriff. I gave ’em hell.
So glad you enjoyed the game and thank you for the kind words! I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm towards our project! Here's what you missed! "I've brought your murderer to justice and the syndicate is no more. There were many times I doubted myself, but everytime I did, I'd think back to our time together and the encouragement you gave me. I can only pray that I'll live up to your standard. Rest easy now ol' friend." Try not to cry like I did! Thanks again!
I think I got something in my eye :’(
Hahaha thank you for sending the ending lines. I was truly curious!
Really great game, shooting feels great, art looks good. Snipers are pretty tough! Very enjoyable
This is very nice! Shooting controls are awesome!
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed our game!
This game reminds me of the online games for children in the 2010s (i was one of the children) Nostalgia kicked in as I got rolled over by the game countless times, like back in the days !!! :D The limitation felt more like it was glued there and sometimes annoying tho :O
Aw man I remember scrolling new grounds for hours (I'm old) I'm glad we could bring back that childhood feeling for you! We are going to continue developing this and add more wild mode effects new enemies and bosses!
Yayyyy !!! It’s crazy you’re a whole small team :)))
Very nice visuals and I liked that you managed to include an actual story. Great work!
Thank you so much we put a lot of work into it! Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool game, I liked the shooting mechanics. The visuals are beautiful and the music and sounds are good. But the dodge mechanics are strange, the dodge window seems too small. And I would like the character to dash during the dodge, and not stand still. The effect when dodging is cool. But there is a problem with two shooters, when you dodge one shot, you are immediately caught by the second.
Yea we had originally set it up so you have invulnerability frames after a successful dodge. We had to remove that because it wasn't coded properly and it would give you invulnerability after an unsuccessful dodge too haha. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Really good animation. But, the game is very difficult. Aside from that I don't think it really uses the limitation very well. It feels more like you made a game and then added the rule changes onto that game without much thought.
Gotta love a revenge story, cool concept and i quite liked the animations!
very fun to make the music
Was a pleasure working with you!
Enjoyed my time with this one. Stylistically, it's great. The story was short and sweet but provided a nice little backdrop, the music was nice to listen to. Missed a few enemies in level three, tried again, found a polish cow.
Good work to the team!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Wow this is good, reallly like it!
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it!
The art and audio were great, I especially liked the parallax images in the background.
The controls for aiming and dodging were a little finicky, but maybe it's just because I'm used to games allowing players to shoot and move at the same time. I got to the second level but couldn't beat the 3 snipers even after using dodge and slide.
Great game!
Appreciate you giving it a go! Glad you enjoyed it!
Having an actual storyline with dialogue is really cool, great presentation! I found the dodge mechanic a little difficult to use, but maybe I just didn't use it properly. Great job!
Thank you! We worked really hard on it!
