Good! I couldn't really aim well, especially at the sides, but overall great for only 6 days, good job!

Thanks for trying it! Alas, family obligations came first, but was just glad to get something somewhat playable in the time I had.

you should add a line or some sort of crosshair, because its really hard to hit the clows. Make the game faster <3

Developer

Thanks for the comments. Sorry, I actually had them move slower cause I thought it would make the clowns easier to hit.

Submitted

the pie-launching animation felt like it took wayyy to long, like you needed to aim at where the clown would be in a couple of seconds, which is a bit much for a shooter minigame. the movment side to side was also really slow, which ended up making the game feel like every hit was just luck and it kind of takes the skill expression enjoyment out of it.

Developer

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the movement wasn't quite what I was hoping for; I actually made side-to-side slower as that was already going to add difficulty. (I usually just stayed in the middle myself.)

It's fun! I like the visuals, though the audio could be improved. My main complaint is that it's hard to aim at stuff, and maybe movement could be a bit faster. I like the addition of people you can't hit, it really adds a fun twist to the concept. This has potential, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Developer

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the throwing is mostly animation based and it seemed to stutter quite a bit for some reason.  Not sure if that was an itch/webGL issue or something I needed to fix on my end. New rule for myself though: don't do it that way! Glad you liked the people NOT to hit.

Interesting idea but somewhat I am unable to hit clown with not knowing where pie will go next. It feels unfair like  on all circus fair markets, but has a bit o realism in it.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, let's go with mimicking the unfairness of carnival games instead of just screwed up logic as to why it was difficult!

Submitted

It's not bad, but there is definitely some room for improvement. The aiming was difficult but that may just be a me problems lol. I can see this being a mini game on a much bigger game.

Thanks for trying it. Yeah, I was trying to get the "result" to calculate via the animation of where the pie is to account for the enemy moving, but the animation ended up a little janky so that also could have thrown you off.
