Very nice game. Especially one using a favorite genre of mine the Wild West genre.
Great job!

Colony DefenseI was not expecting them to be donkey people and crawling on all fours lol. Interesting concept combining strategy and first person views. I think it would really help if there were some indicators on who is bandit or not when in top down view and how many bandits are left.

An Origami TaleThis is a really fun and unique game, I would definitely buy/play an expanded version. I saw someone mention Valkyria Chronicles as the inspiration which makes perfect sense, I was thinking of it as an epic player-controlled Xcom meets a Heist game.
The donkey's names were really funny. And the character models and the animations were really endearing. The donkey mode was cool and fun although I didn't use it much as the player character, I mostly tried to run down and snipe the bandits in cowboy mode.
Something interesting happened to me, unfortunately while watching the Bandit turn one of them in donkey mode had 2 health and ran past some of my cowboys on his way to steal another bag, and my cowboys shot him dead after missing a few times which instantly crashed my game :( I was on track to have 2 bags left and I think all of my cowboys.
Very fun game, I hope the development continues after the jam and/or that it becomes a standalone game for purchase, it's so unique and the gameplay loop is solid.

Monkey Modethis one was super unique to play, and felt great! the instructions seemed a little overwhelming at first, but i actually picked it up pretty quickly. it feels great to just barely manage to stop a bandit from making away with one of the money bags, as well as to catch them dead in their tracks trying to go after one. it was also so, so charming!! the character models looked great, and the music gave it a really authentic western feel. one little thing i loved a LOT was how each of your cowboys had unique names. it helped me to actually feel attached to the little guys, i was super worried that billy the foal was gonna be struck down! outstanding job!!!

MOWEDFun aesthetic & we liked the character art. Reminded us of Valkyria Chronicles or Worms 3D. Complex game for a game jam. Well done!

Loot n' GoblinLost 3 bags of money, gotta keep your mind on your paper in this game. Was overall a fun strategy game. One thing would be maybe having markers on the players to know what id they are on the map.
