Really nice game! actually very similar in idea to ours so no wonder i liked hahaha
Yes, very similar to High Noon! Glad you liked it!
Super nice mini game, with a solid artworks and very fluid mechanics 🌈✨🐱
Would have liked to see more kind of levels, but it is really well done for such a short time !
Thank you very much! A few people mentioned they would like more levels/minigames, so I added a new level in the most recent update!
There are better games in terms of gameplay but this game is solid. Art and style is perfect but the gameplay is kind of mediocre.
Understandable, thank you for your feedback! I’ve added a new minigame and a few quality of life features to improve the game, but I completely understand if it’s just not your kind of game. Thank you for playing!
Very visually stunning game!!!! The art is fantastic
That means a lot, thank you so much! The art was the primary motivating factor for me to make this game, and so I prioritized the art first. I’m so happy you appreciated the main element of my game, thank you!
Those cows sure like to go out! Very cute art
Would've loved to see a bit more randomness so you don't get the same minigame 3 times in a row, but it's a good concept
Glad you liked they cows, they’re always running off, lol! Yes thank you for your feedback, a few others also shared that there were some problems with randomness. I updated the game so you won’t get the same minigame twice in a row anymore, and there’s also a pool of 4 games instead of 3 now to mix things up a little more. Thanks for playing!
cool
Thanks!
Can't explain why I liked this game, but it I guess it's simplicity and speedy-ness. Well done, I would have liked some more variation, even if it was the same minigame.
Glad you liked the vibes of my game! I updated the game so you can’t get the same minigame twice in a row now, and there are now 4 minigames instead of 3. I feel like this helped a lot with improving the variation. Thank you for playing and leaving feedback!
This would be great as a conceptual warioware sort of game, the artwork really takes me back to the OG gameboy. I agree with @keyystudios, and that there should be some challenge like basic Ai for the cow or maybe a rolling cylinder that punishes you for not placing the bullet in an empy spot? Oh! And also the music grows on you quickly, I loved the cute art style of the character portrait when explaining the next task.
Thank you very much, excellent feedback! Those ideas are really good, thank you for sharing! I did update the game and make some improvements to the randomization of minigames, but nothing quite like what you’re saying with the cow or a rolling cylinder. I agree, I think those would definitely mix things up in a fun way, so I’ll have to think about that next time I’m working on a game like this. Thank you so much for playing!
The art is very beautiful, but I think there should be some challenge in the minigames.
I’m really happy you liked the art, that means a lot! I updated the game with an on screen timer, and you can now lose the game if you don’t get through the minigames fast enough, and this adds a little challenge to the gameplay. I appreciate your feedback, thank you for playing!
Love the art style and the sound! Enjoyed the use of the limitation. I did find I could get the same minigame several times in a row, maybe would be good to change up the randomisation a bit? Great job!
Thank you for the feedback! Several people mentioned issues with getting the same game several times in a row, so I released an update that prevents this from happening. Thank you very much for playing!
The art is great, but the minigames get repetitive fast; also, there's no actuall rush on doing them
Glad you liked the art! A few people mentioned that there was no rush or challenge, so I added a timer to the minigames and a game over screen if your time runs out. Thank you for the feedback, and thank you for playing!
I think the mini games are so adorable. There should be more things going wrong? Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding the point of the mini games! 1bit artwork and music are killer. Would have played this on gameboy.
Thank you, I’m so happy you liked the 1bit art!! I would have liked more things going wrong, but this was the most I was able to make in the timeframe for the jam. I did publish a small update with a new minigame in the mix, and better randomization so you can’t get the same minigame twice in a row. Thanks so much for playing!
This game is beautiful. Absolutely love the art. The mini games are pretty and fun for a few rounds. I feel like Catville could've had more cat related problems. I actually really enjoyed the use of the limitation, because the mechanics are still satisfying. Some other mini games just end up being more frustrating than fun.
Thank you so much, I’m really happy you liked the art! Also thanks for the feedback, I was so focused on the western theme that I didn’t even think about having cat related problems for Catville. I was just thinking of cowboy minigames, but adding more cat themed ones would have been a fun direction! Thank you for playing!
gets repetetive very fast, but i love the artstyle! Looks very polished too.
Thanks, glad you liked the artstyle and the polish!
It gives me vibe of some retro games, but I like it!
This was actually loosely based around the specs of the old Nokia cellphone, which is why I made it 1bit and why the screen size is 96x65 pixels, so that’s where the retro vibes comes from! Glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
Art Style and music are on point, i feel that the minigames are not well randomized as i played 5-6 times the horshoe one, and i did not understand the use of limitation in your game.
Thank you for the feedback! I updated the game and you won’t get any minigame twice in a row now. The game was meant to convey that everything was going wrong in each minigame, which is why they’re all problems you have to fix. But that’s good to know this wasn’t clear, I’ll have to think about that when making future games. Thanks for playing!
love the style
Thank you!
Art is good, needs better randomisation. I played 8 rounds and got the bullet one 3 times the the horseshoe one the rest of the time; So a way to ensure unexperienced events are more likely is required.
Thank you for bringing this up, I updated the game to prevent the player from getting the same minigames twice in a row! You will now get a minigame chosen randomly from only the minigames that aren’t the one you last played. And I added a new minigame, so the total pool is 4 instead of 3 games. Thank you for playing!
I was expecting something to happen, like the rope being replaced by the gun and everything going wrong. But I really like the art.
The games changing slightly with each play and getting out of hand would have been a great idea, I just didn’t think of it during the jam! Glad you liked the art, thanks for playing!
The animations and transitions are polished and charming throughout. I really liked that!
Thank you, I spent a lot of time and art and animations, this comment means a lot!!
