There is a lot of texts to read first, and it wasn't easy to try to protect Oswald with a useless gun against policemen which spawns on his face. But I love the concept !

Neat idea! I couldn't get very far — it seems like I just keep losing within the first minute and I'm not sure why. It also doesn't seem possible to select tickets (the purchase buttons don't seem to do anything). I dig the narrative though.
OSWAAAALD.
Cool concept! Protecting Oswald is really hard when enemies appear and immediately shoot, though. I try to keep up but if Oswald doesn't avoid the first bullet is very hard to go on. Overall I really like this, though! The art is cute and the music slaps. This has great potential!
The art looks nice. The tutorial and the introduction to the game are too long and every time you die in the game you have to skip it instead of restarting the level. Try that instead. The game is hard too because Oswald dies by one shot.
Thanks for the feedback! Oswald does not die in one shot. He has 3 bars of health and the least amount of shots it would take is 2 shots to kill, depending on which type of gun was shot at him. Oh yea, i could have immediately restarted the level instead why didn't i think of that oops :P
I'll work on the game, thanks for trying it out!
Nice game, but the intro/explanation is a bit too long. Overall i like the concept and the game, you made a great work!
Quite a long explanation that I didn't follow up proprley as I lost in 3 second! But it's cool!
Nice idea with nice graphics. Explanation is bit long but not boring. Cool game mate!
I love the art you made for this game. Gameplay is difficult to understand because of the lengthy explanation upfront. I could not figure out how to earn money. But great job loved trying it!
The art style is great but the gameplay is confusing and hard.
the general idea is great so keep at it!
Hi !
I like the idea you had, I find it really funny !
But I can't manage to play more than 30 seconds at each of my attempts because Oswald have not enough health. Also, my bullets are hitting Oswald so it makes the game really harder as you have to get close to Oswald to protect him but not too close otherwise he will take the damage from your gun.
Except the gameplay, the graphics are nice and the sounds works well !
Well done :)
Thank you! Hm... I guess I could have made it easier in that way too, its been really hard to balance the game :P
Oswald had 3 bars of health, like the other civilians, while enemies had 4 bars of health. I guess I wanted to make it such that while you get an upgrade, it is easier to kill enemies but also harder to protect Oswald or something.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Good job making the game !
The gameplay is a bit confusing because it lacks feedback when bullets hit people. You don't really know if what you are doing has an impact until the enemy dies. It would have been also good to have some feedback about Oswald health and level progress. Overall try to focus on adding some feedbacks so the player can understand what's going on. And finally, the game is hard and the cheat button helps. I know it's really hard to balance a game but I think for a game jam it's better to have an easy game than a hard one. So next time I think you should tweak the values to make it easy by default without needing a cheat.
Congrats !
An interesting concept of the game, the design is very good, the background music is not bad. In my opinion it is a very huge instruction, it is better to shorten it a little. But so much I liked to play
Please check my game and I would appreciate if you will rate it as well ;)
Thanks for the feedback!
Actually its supposed to be a choices-matter story game too mixed with the top down shooter genre. Hence the massive amounts of story telling.
I guess I should have used voice-overs or some comic panels to show the story, maybe for next time!
Sure, I'll try out your game in a bit!
The idea is really cool but the gameplay has some problems and little bugs. The game is fun and sounds are really cool !
Thanks for playing! I believe that the newer guns in the shop upgrades provide more bullets per magazine. (im sorry i didnt display that)
All the guns in the shop are upgrades, the ACP giving you 10 bullets, 300 Magnum giving 4 bullets and so on.
Yep, its supposed to be somewhat a story-based game so i guess it could be a little overwhelming. :P
I appreciate the feedback, I'll make it a point to leave a description next time around!
A very ambitious combination with a very charming art style! It seems to be a bit on the hard side, though, I was not able to save Oswald after a few attempts.
