You play as One Gunman, who must gather the rewards for shooting the bandits (Evens, Odds, Fibonaccis, Squares). Each bandit has a numerical value associated to it, which determines if it is one that can be shot for a reward. The reward will change periodically to a new set of bandits. Shooting an incorrect bandit will result in One Gunman losing a life. When all of his lives are gone, the game is over.
Note: One Gunman always shoots directly forward towards the bandits.
THEME: If you look closely, One Gunman's body is in the shape of the number ONE, which is how it relates to the theme "You Only Get ONE".
Controls: Move - left/right arrows, A/D keys Shoot - Space / Left mouse button
I like the alternate interpretation of "you only get one," the number series matching concept, the changing shadows, and the cutaways on death.
It'd be easier if there was a marker noting the bullet spawn point. It takes a bit to figure out how to line up your shot.
It'd be a hassle to implement, but it's frustrating when you fire right before the wanted poster changes.

Thanks for the comments. I could add a line showing the path of the bullet, or maybe make "lanes" with different colored dirt showing the path of the bullet. There is a bar at the bottom of the Wanted poster showing how much time is left until it changes, but it's hard to look at it and control your character at the same time.
Haha nice take on the theme, and I like the way you switched up which numbers to shoot. I had a bit of difficulty aiming but I just count that as part of the learning curve. Nice job on the Blender3D models by the way. I especially like the character's death animation.
Haha, nice take on the theme. Good consistent graphics and the honky tonk piano sound was good with the wild west theme. Did I hear 'shoot the perfects'? I had to look that up on wikipedia :)
Many cool touches, and while the aiming was tough, it was not unfair.
It seemed a little rough that someone could be a bandit, and I pull my trigger, and then while the bullet is in the air he's not a bandit anymore. I kept worrying about it and glancing over at the countdown meter, but I guess that's as designed? Also, WHERE ARE YOU, PERFECT SIX??
It was alright. Hard to aim and the targets would change right after I fire at a number.

Cool. Kind of like the offensive version of Pig and Bullet...not that the game is offensive or anything haha.
Could use a reticle on screen to give better feedback of where your shots are headed, but other than that no suggestions. Narration is once again a strong point.
yeah aiming is a bit hard to predict but you can get used to it. Would be nice if you could change the aiming in order to hit targets that are nearly besides you.
Nice voice acting and background music, also interesting use of the theme and maths. The aiming is hard at the beginning, but I got used to it after some time.
Nice idea! I like the changing targer idea. Shooting is a bit tricky, because of the perspective. You could make shooting easier by placing reference lines on the ground. Of courst something fitting (maybe put the light behind the gunman and use the shadow as a guidance). It took me way too long to get the connection between the title and the odd (no pun intended!) look of the gunman :D Nice work!

A funny game but I missed a pointer to shoot with more precision. Love the narrator's voice :)

Hard to determine fire lanes, but a great concept none the less.
The game is funny and clever. I liked the animations and the concept, but actually managing to shoot something is a different story. If you polish the shooting a bit, this can be a really fun game.
Nice game. Too bad precision is a little bit awkward and finally frustrating. I like the innovative gameplay and theme integration. It's a great job ! Congrats :)
Really neat idea! Aiming was very difficult - maybe if he wasn't able to move freely, but only to different positions? Not sure if that would be fun at all, though. The voice over was a nice touch - once I got used to what they referred to as far as targets go, it was cool not having to look to the corner to see what to shoot.
The camera angle made shooting a little difficult, but I could see this being a really great education game for learning numbers. I really had fun. Great work. (death animation was fantastic -- I should know, I died a lot)

Like other people I had some trouble aiming.
Nice.
