@danga Thanks for the feedback. What do you mean by shoot sound effect, because there is a shoot sound.

Cool concept and hard game. To be honest I didn't supposed it will be that hard, but it's also very fun experience, really unique one. Good job!

Really cool graphics - love the old kinescopic tv effect and the pixel art is just amazing! Only issue I had is with balancing - wasn't able to even advance from the first opponent, he draws so fast. Otherwise a super cool game! Cheers!

Stefan Jovanovic29 Apr 2019, 21:17
@borys As I was making it in an 8-bit CRT TV style I also thought that it should be hard, just like almost all of the retro games.:smile:
Thanks for playing it, I'm glad you liked it!

@mrtnldm Thanks for playing it! I might really need to lower down the difficulty a bit! :sweat_smile:

Woaw DUDE, Good to see you back in LD44 :frog: :clap:. This games Visuals are sick dude :clap: i might just steal that Shader Mhuahahah :japanese_goblin:. For the game its solid entry, very clean. The sound can be a little loud but i am gonna blame Unity on that :frog:. I hope next time we get a better theme, this year was to constrictive.

@rustycrow Thanks for playing it! I'm glad you liked it! :smiley:
You are right, the theme was really constraining.
BTW here is the proof. :smile:

The first guy you shoot could be facing away so you have time to check the correct input to shoot :D

5you30 Apr 2019, 17:48
I can't beat double pistol old man... @rustycrow it's the one after Geronimo. Sometimes he's faster than me, sometimes it seems that my shoot don't register.
For your metrics : I shot between 213ms and 258sm.

Our games are so similar! Great minds eh? ;)

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 17:52
@5you Thanks for the feedback! I will balance the difficulty of the game in the next update.

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 17:53
@drrozza I will definitely check out your game! :smile:

volatile-dove30 Apr 2019, 17:59
Really cool graphics and polished game!

fidrik30 Apr 2019, 17:59
really fun game, and just one simple mechanic. well polished too great job. Also the top guy is L.Luke which makes me laugh as my game is lunatic luke haha

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 18:02
@volatile-dove Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it! :smiley:

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 18:05
@fidrik Thanks for playing the game! L. Luke is actually reference to the Lucky Luke, but it's a nice little coincidence! :smile:
palsina30 Apr 2019, 18:14
Man, reminds of the mini game in Kirby Super Star, fantastic!
My keyboard sure have a lot of lag though :/

@palsina I'm glad you liked the game! I will probably make an android build, so input lag may not be such a problem there!

DidiGameBoy30 Apr 2019, 19:38
great pixelart

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 19:40
@didigameboy Thanks

Belea30 Apr 2019, 19:40
Quite dificult, but i really enjoyed it. I think it's the best visual style I have found in the COMPO category. Great work, 5 :star:

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 19:43
@belea Thank you for such kind words! Glad you liked it! :slight_smile:

Marcenat30 Apr 2019, 20:01
God that's hard ! but I really like seeing my reaction time :)
I don't really see the theme connection, that's not a problem but since you didn't opt out of that category, maybe I'm missing something...
The "vintage" effect is really cool though

Stefan Jovanovic30 Apr 2019, 20:05
@marcenat Thanks for playing the game! Each enemy has a money tag that you get for killing them, but as you kill them, you will also become wanted and the price of your life will increase as you progress. That's how I implemented the theme.

Saering30 Apr 2019, 20:39
Weeeeeell I am very bad at your game XD I hardly killed El Mostacho (sexy name btw), I almost gave up but I killed him at least once haha
I like the game, it is pretty good, maybe hard ? I know I do not have the best reaction time, but seeing all those enemies, I would have expected the first one to be a 3/0, or at least a 3/1.
About the art, I'm not sure I like the post processing you made to be honest, it doesn't suit the pixel art style of your game in my opinion, I'd rather have some camera shaking, smoke effects than a big lens distortion and chromatic aberration. Personal opinion though
That's a good entry, great job and thanks for the game!

@saering Thanks for playing the game! I will probably lower down the difficulty in the upcoming update. Regarding graphics, it's actually representation of the old CRT TVs and monitors, as I was going for the retro feel.
Thanks for nice feedback! :slight_smile:

cool game -- like the reference to lucky luke, i think only canadians or french speakers will get that one -- thanks for making this game

Stefan Jovanovic1 May 2019, 10:58
@paulhocker Thanks for playing the game! I'm really happy that you got that reference and I'm glad that you enjoyed the game.

zuzupd3 May 2019, 22:44
I love the visual. Pity that I have too slow reflexes for the game, so I'm dead on the first enemy. But it is fun anyway.

Jin93104 May 2019, 10:06
This was the first game I have seen around here and really wanted to try! It was worth it. Really nice execution (no pun intended) :)

Stefan Jovanovic4 May 2019, 19:11
@zuzupd Glad that you liked the game. Stay tuned for update that will lower down the difficulty.

Stefan Jovanovic4 May 2019, 19:12
@jin9310 Thanks for playing the game. Your game looks amazing, will definitely try it.

Webox5 May 2019, 01:26
SUper cool art and execution! Awesome job!

@webox Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it!

Very nice game! I like the graphics, the gameplay and the sfx, and everytihng is very well polished!

Stefan Jovanovic5 May 2019, 19:38
@mateusboga Thanks. Glad you liked it! :smile:

KreGames5 May 2019, 20:57
Nice game, with pretty graphics. Sometimes I got the feeling it didn't recognize my space. (not even a too early, not even a too late message). Great entry!

Pusheeneiro5 May 2019, 21:07
Very nice idea. :star:

Stefan Jovanovic5 May 2019, 21:16
@kregames Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked the game.

@pusheeneiro Thanks

zactical5 May 2019, 21:29
I really liked it! Super cool graphics and sound, the CRT effect is great for the feel of the game. Like some of the other comments I found the game extremely difficult. I struggled to even beat the first guy. Maybe I just suck? Overall great job on the game!

Geckoo13375 May 2019, 21:32
Clever - beautiful - addictive. Well done. I guess that it could be a little more interesting to play with mouse and maybe a crosshair on screen - it's just an idea. I love this entry. The shader on camera which you used creates a good vide - like in the old western movies. Bravo ++

Stefan Jovanovic5 May 2019, 21:34
@zactical Thanks for playing it, i'm glad you liked it. Have you tried the updated version? I have lowered down the difficulty in that version.

Stefan Jovanovic5 May 2019, 21:36
@geckoo1337 Thanks for such a nice feedback. I really like your ideas! Thanks for playing.

PixelSplash5 May 2019, 21:47
Wow the game is strong overall, liked the style in everything!!! nice entry!

Stefan Jovanovic5 May 2019, 21:54
@pixelsplash Thanks, glad you liked it!

geist_1916 May 2019, 05:39
Nice game! It just feels a little off that in the story mode you have to shoot with a different key than in 2 player mode. Nice animations and feel to the game. It would be cool to see how much faster you were compared to the other player

Stefan Jovanovic6 May 2019, 09:27
@geist-191 Thanks for the feedback! I like the ìdea of seeing other people reaction time. Glad you liked the game.






Good job!
