Western World: The Traitor

Very nice :)

Makes me feel bad that I have to have someone killed to see who the traitor is. Could be added upon, so you get other ways to detect the traitor. Great atmosphere.

Really original concept and great execution. Reminds me a bit of Westerado style-wise. Both art and music are spot on, and controls are responsive. Love how medium limitation (2D side scroller with only 2 types of sprite) actually adds to the gameplay by causing chaos and confusion, obscuring traitor's actions and baiting you into accidently killing an innocent. Great work!

The idea, music and graphics is great. The game is easy to play, but it needs a better introduction to the game mechanic. Overall a well made LD game.

I like the simple straightforward gameplay but the audio is a bit lacking. Great job.

Great job for compo!

Simple and elegant entry! The style works great and it feels like an old school arcade game.

Realy nice Compo entry. You can be proud of your self.

I would Improve on audio.

The Graphics look really nice!

Good job coming up with something new - I don't think I've played a game like this before. I like the graphic style a lot. Everything is very clean and simple but you made sure that important details (arrow above the player, blood on the ground, bullet trajectory) stand out enough to keep the player aware of what needs to happen. Gameplay was immediately understandable and I always felt like I had enough information to choose the right person every time. Whether or not I accidentally shot someone else is a different story altogether...

Good work on this, hope to see more from you in the future.

Only got a streak of 9 but MAN that's really unique!

You gave so much details and polish to this, too, like the puffy footsteps or the blood particle... It's a really well made entry! Love the music, and the graphics, despite the lack of animations, are super nostalgic.

All in all, a very good and fun game! Congrats!

It was more interesting than I expected. It was great to carefully explore and expect the first shooting so you could answer back. I could use a little bit more of audio polish, but otherwise it felt great.

Its too bad its on Java, not many people can play it without it being an exe (at least on windows), or downloading the JRE. However, I can see this maybe getting into a bigger game, maybe you are moseing around town and suddenly you have to look for a killer.

Feels refreshing for sure, and it was a lot of fun for me (n_n).

Its fun killing lol. I got upto 7 streaks

Great concept and gameplay, really fun! The fact that you made it in java could be problematic but as a programmer i find it admirable xD

I love the music. It gives a very good mood on the game! Also the visual effects are great. The pixel art and colors fit perfect for that western feeling. All in all, a bit short but very well polished and I had fun! :)

Pretty original concept, and a clever sample about making an interesting game keeping it minimal. You can develop a longer game adding new mechanics to find the traitor. Well done!

I really love this game. The sound design is nice, the graphics are clean and beautiful and the gameplay is fun. Well done !
