I can only say that this game doesn't fit the loop theme too much, but I didn't finish it, so maybe there is a surprise in the end. But, overall, it's a very good idea and something differet from what I've seen so far. GG, surley I will try again to beat that damn fish.

Very goood, the only thing I wished for was the door opening sound to be quieter.

Loved the aesthetics, awesome tunes and the gameplay. What tools did you use to make this?

Developer

Would you be surprised if I told you I used a mod of scratch lol, also thanks!!!

Submitted

I loved the style and personality of this game! Awesome work!! :D

The visuals on this game are crazy good! Absolutely love the end-fight gun twirl animation with the crunchy sound bite

Developer

Thanks lol I put a ton of effort into this little goober.

Hi Kasairo, AØ_SIGNAL here! It was a real pleasure making music for your game in this jam! I wish I had time to do all the music, but I’m glad I was able to contribute the casino music, shop music, town music, main menu music, and victory music. You were super professional throughout, and it’s amazing how you finished such a polished and complex game in such a short time! Would love to work with you again in the future.

P.S. If you update the page later, feel free to add a quick credit to AØ_SIGNAL for the music I contributed—thanks!

Developer(+1)

KAS HOW COULD U! THIEFFF!

Thank you!

Amazing game! I've completed all the game and I've loved it. but there's some things that I want to comment.
Honestly I didn't have as many bugs as people say, only that to move on a combat to some position you have to select other first and that the heal hat does not heal, only waste your turn *wasted my money buying it T-T*.
I struggled to beat the fisherman, sometimes there was no chance that I could kill some enemy to heal myself, and as I said the heal hat does not heal, I was close to leave the game, but I was loving it and wanted to continue playing and see what else it had to offer, tbh once I had a good strat and had some lucky I beated him hehe.
And now, the end of the game. Oooooow man, idk how much time I've spent. I liked the concept of having to win several fights to actually win, but it was soooo frustating, not because it was hard but it was just unfair, idk how many times I was just one-shoted without having any chance to do something. The worst part was the 2nd fight against the sheriff and gambler cat (don't remember the name sorry), after finally winning the first fight then go to the 2nd, first turn the sheriff shoots (-2 hp) and the cat dice shows 6 (-3 hp), "ok I'm dead", that was so frustating, I had 0 chance, tried to one-shot the sheriff using the bullet that has a range of damage, but didn't have that lucky. That happened several times. That thing combined with the fact that there's no skip cutscene button or something to make it faster felt so annoying and frustrating and I was sooooo close to leave the game, but I just wanted to finish it, I had come so far to give up. Finally, with some good rng I managed to beat it and wow, felt so nice HAHAHA!
Now, over all of these bad things, this game is absolutely awesome. The artwork is just fantastic, and the music, owww the music, loved every single piece. The game is super fun to play, the shooting mechanics is so satisfying and fun and liked that you can move so there's more chance that your enemies fail but your aim decrease, although I feel like since the fight against the fisherman it does not affect enemies anymore idk. I loved the humor and the story of the game, apparently there's some big lore behind that I don't know, but anyway I liked it, although sometimes is hard to read some words because of the font, but I liked the font so is a little sacrifice to do hahaha.
It's amazing that you've created this in a 4 days jam, there's a lot of content idk know how you did that. And because of the short amount of time of the jam I completely understand that there are some unpolished things, so yeah, despite the bad things the game has I loved it and will probably be my favourite game of the jam (by far). If there was a extended and more polished version I'd play it for sure.
Sorry for the big big text hahaha but I liked the game and wanted to give my opinion on some things, maybe I forget something to say but I think all the text above is just enough HAHAHA.

Developer

I appreciate the comment lol it means a lot, and dont worry, as soon as the jam is over I'm fixing the dialogue and rebalancing a ton of stuff and making it easier to skip things you've already read or seen! Also omg lol I also forget the name of gambler cat but its spottykins haha!

Submitted

Awesome game. I really like the aiming mechanic and how you used it for the theme. It’s so satisfying when you hit the spot and launch an attack on the enemy. Aside from that, it’s really impressive how you managed to develop such a well‑polished game in a short time. The dialogues, the art, the music, and the transitions are all well made and well thought out. You should definitely continue working on it, and I’d love to see more content. Amazing job.

Developer(+1)

if I ever get back to working on it I'll make sure to let you know!

Submitted

I really loved the concept of this game, the art style is awesome, you should do a full version, i'd buy it!!!

Developer(+1)

Omg you think so! Also thanks so much, I spent so much time on this little thing and I'm glad you appreciate it! Also I love Shadow he's so cool!

This is possibly the most polarizing game I've played in this jam so far. First off this game is really buggy, I couldn't move to the far back in combat unless I pick another position first, The dice hat heals while the heal hat does nothing, and my playthrough currently ended when the fisherman softlocked the game trying to call in the fishies during the fisher sheriff fight. Not to mention some poor design choices such as the fisher boss completely disabling the positioning mechanic or just the gambling boss in general. Plus I'm surprised the act command doesn't auto cycle your chamber felt like such an obvious design choice to give more value to using it. Also being unable to skip or at least speed through cutscenes made the gambling and fisher fight so much more excruciating since it meant having to sit through about a minute long cutscene per attempt, which I had to sit through at least 3 times due to the difficulty of the fight. Despite all these negatives, I also love so so much about this game. The battle mechanics, if a bit unexplored, are really cool and the positioning gives a good risk vs reward to spice up turn-based combat. The victory animation and jingle are such bangers and makes winning a fight incredibly rewarding. I loved the writing with how self-aware the humor was. The gambler cat whom I forgot the name of, skittypaws? Idk but I adore them they are such a sweetheart. I love Beezlebub being this all powerful demon that plays with an audience audio device even after they start bleeding to death. The Sheriff is a really threatening presence and gives the plot stakes. I love the art style despite the text being kind of hard to read while I also love the audio even if the room enter sound is kind of loud for that. Truly polarizing game, but one I was glad to try out.

omg thanks and thanks lol, glad you actually played the game before commenting it geniunely means a lot, I see people failing to do the tutorial and deciding thats enough gameplay to quit. All those bugs are noted and will 100% be fixed once the jam is over, I am also really glad you found the game funny, so much went into the writing! I did geniunely read everything you said btw , I also forgot the cat dude's name, I think it was spotty kins but I dont know if I'm willing to check right now lol! Once again thanks, this is the best comment i've ever gotten on one of my games!

why do i need to press the widow key to start and how do i get rid of the firstnpc's textbox??????

Developer(+1)

both can be solved by pressing Z, please read the banner at the top and the controls before commenting its really annoying when I see someone just blatantly ignore everything!

sorry.....

Developer(+1)

its okay just please do read everything before commenting, its not good practice to have an opinion without experiencing even half of the game.

why do i need to press the widow key to start and how do i get rid of the firstnpc's textbox??????

The art is incredible and there are waaay to much content in the game i love it. I think only issue is thet the connection with the theme is a bit weak

Developer

Submitted

Developer

NOOOO

i love love love the art style !!! definitely got the gameboy vibe nailed down!! i got soft locked at the first fight though

Developer

hey sorry about that, retry the game, I'm guessing you reached the part where it doesn't let you pick any options, the dialogue prior told you to move to the back, sorry for the confusion if that was the thing, you just had to press move and then move to the far back.

(+1)

uhhhhh kas I also got softlocked

Developer

where

(+1)

same spot. also I can go up in the beginning without triggering the cutscene and still fight the guys, which doesnt do anything for me

Developer

press move, then up and z, its just a tutorial on movement, also just dont go to the shop lmao, you can skip that all.
