The gunslinger was tired, tired of all the killing and the blodshed. The sheep were drawing closer and the wolf would have to go about his business once more. In this last moment, pondering over a mug of ale, the gunslinger had an idea, an idea that would make him something different entirely.
Walk........WASD/Arrows
Dash........RMB
Throw.......Hold LMB
Aim..........Mouse
Fend of the attackers by hitting them with mugs. Dash through enemies to catch your mug. The mugslinger is invincible, just dont drop the mug.
___________ 24.04.15 updated the description i'm aware of the respawn bug and have fixed it locally but havent updated the compo entry because i dont consider it gamebreaking i would however ask you to reload the game if you ever see two player characters
Fun game, makes me think of the old kung fu game on 8-bit Nintendo. I like the physics of the mug, it's fun to watch it bounce up and down and kill multiple opponents before you need to pick it up again.
Pretty fun game, there seems to be a bug when you lose because one time i lost and hit play again and all the other guys were still there and i died instantly.
the mugslinger is the kinda man who doesn't look back ... or his developer didn't think of that until last minute and did not want to change the formula too much but will probably try it once compo is over because it makes sense
Nice little game! I like the way he pulls his arm back to show how powerful a throw it's going to be.
At first I thought it was REALLY easy, then I realized I wasn't moving my mouse at all from eye-level. If your mouse is higher or lower the throws get a lot harder, but I never saw any reason to move the mouse at all.
Would love to add a jump to jump up and catch my mug instead of having to wait for it to drop.
It would be nice if there were a final goal. I thought with the difficulty level I might need to defeat some number of waves, maybe like Streets of Rage or Ninja Turtles.
Nice idea and pixel art though!

(@OhHelloTilman using the account to rate games) That you have to catch the mug to stay in the game is a really nice idea for the theme and an interesting game design idea with potential. Nice and fun game. I would prefer it if the difficulty would increase whilst you play, instead of having three levels. There was a bug where enemies stay in the scene when playing more than once (its a small game, so its easy eenough to press reload ;) ).
Funny game, great concept and graphics! I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/3cEj0moqZLI

Had a blast playing this one, good work
Great job!
Oh yeah, I found a bug that if you click start quickly after you die the actors doesn't despawn.
I just think the gunslinger could throw his mug a bit stronger xp
got a score of 3k on hard, beat that!!
btw
