The presentation of this game is awesome. The detailed 3D world & creatures, music, and polish are very impressive for a game jam. The western vibe was top notch too! I also liked the gameplay concept - it’s a little like Pokemon Snap, searching for cool creatures in the wild.
Unfortunately I found the gameplay itself really janky. I understood the lasso mechanic in concept (and I even watched your guys’ demo video to make sure) but I could only make it work one in ten tries at best. It also seemed a little buggy - the rope physics were all over the place, and every lasso I missed stayed in place forever, so I had a dozen flailing ropes stuck to my character… On top of creatures swarming around me, and failing to pick any of them up, it got a bit frustrating.
Everything else is great, though, and I bet with some tweaking (and maybe some fixes to stop it from crashing), the gameplay could shine as well. Nice work on this one!
