I love the audio and visuals of the game. The fact that spraying water pushes you around is really funny and it makes movement very interesting. I wish you could use that to your advantage though because usually the targets I wanted to hit would be out of range whenever I sprayed for too long. Also I don't know if this was just me, but I didn't see a health bar so I didn't know when I had taken too much damage. This a fun time. Good work!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! So glad you enjoyed it! I really liked the idea of the water pushing you around but in practice ended up being kind of clunky since we didn’t have time to tweak it and whatnot.

I should have mentioned it in the description but hydration is your health. Was the water meter visible for you?

Oh! Sorry for the late reply, but upon replay, I can see the water meter now. It's just kinda tiny but it's there.

Audio and visually, it was a delightful game, but I could not get to grip the player controls.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I addressed this and will upload the new version after the jam ends. :)

I love the graphics, but I found the player's control not easy to handle

Thanks, Wampy! I did some more work on the controls. Will upload the update after the jam ends :)

The graphics are all very well done! I like that you took the time to animate everything. It made it feel very lively. I had a hard time with the actual gameplay because of the movement, and it didn't seem like my spray did very much? But I love the idea and the aesthetic. Nice work!

Great art and audio!

The movement and hitboxes feel a little janky,

but over all a very cool game!

Developer

Hands down the best hydration based game about a cowboy named Desert Dan I've ever played.

Developer

lmao, thanks!
