Very fun time! The art style is so charming and the writing is especially very entertaining lol. The gameplay itself is exhilarating and surprisingly strategic! It's very chaotic to have to dodge one bullet by shooting another and then having to dodge that one in an endless cycle lol. I really love the target mechanic that requires a specific charge strength combined with the focus, makes you slow down and think. One of my only criticisms would actually be the difficulty, especially the (what I assume is) final checkpoint being pretty brutal. Amazing job overall!

Woof, the sailor mouth on this cowboy! Love the design and style, great stuff. I was having a lot of trouble timing out precise values for target switches, I think it would be better if the number displayed was the minimum value instead of the precise needed. Great job!

Amazing game! Loved the art, audio, mechanics, and the writing! Honestly, my one piece of feedback is I don't think the game needs enemies. I found them more frustrating than anything (versus when I died to my own bullets that was 100% my fault.) Either way, I had an absolute blast!

This was a very nice game! i didn't get why the bullets don't carry their original value when it bounces of the wall, maybe that was a bug on my end or i missed something, but very creative indeed.

Thank you for the feedback ! Yeah that's not a bug that's just a very poorly explained mechanics (my bad). The number is equal to the bullet's bounce, so each time a bullet bounce, the bullet get -1 bounce and the value change. I wanted to try to make some cool puzzle with that but didn't had time and it's for the better when I see that many people didn't understand because I just didn't explained it lol

Meowdy! This cowboy cat is unhinged and I love it 😹🤠

The concept is hilarious, and the chaotic bullet-dodging mechanic had me screaming and laughing at the same time.

Shooting to move AND dodge your own shots? That’s some wild west galaxy-brain stuff.

I died A LOT but kept coming back — says everything about how fun this was!

Also, love the vibe and UI polish. Hope you expand it after the jam! 🐾🔫

Wow thank you so much for all the love ! You clearly made my day :D

Funny cowboy cat loopy gun lets go!!!!!!

i liked the gameplay here and the fact that u can dodge ur bullets by shooting them x)

although it requires lots of reflex and also the movement speed is ridiculously slow. i guess it's intended to justify the gameplay :)

funny gameplay :D

Super challenging, felt like I needed a couple of lives at the end to make progress but I powered through. Very cool concept, and a super cute cat!
