It's Russian Roulette. You loop back n' forth until one of you dies

A bit too random, but still enjoyable. My PB is 4 kills over 29 turns.
yeah, I only managed to make it to the fourth round, with 19 turns. Luck was not in my favor :(
Only being able to pull the trigger most of the time felt a bit lacking. Maybe some other action to substitute the turn, or some different strategies for the enemies would be interesting.
The gameplay was rather simple and I didn't feel I had much agency in the game
Cute game, I like the concept. I was a bit confused at the start as I died on my first turn the first 11 times I played and thought I was playing wrong/misreading it.. lol. But once I actually had a few go's where I didn't die instantly it was fun. A bit too much random chance for my gaming style, but obviously as this is a Russian roulette game I can accept that I am not the target audience in this case! still enjoyed it though, nice one
Thanks! but wait... you died 11 times on your very first turn...? WHAT. ok, so the way the game works, is that it picks a random number between 1 and 7 (imitating spinning the cylinder), then each time you pull the trigger, it subtracts 1, and it keeps doing that until you hit 0, at which point you die. the probability of you dying on your first turn is 1/7, or 15%. and doing that 11 times is... 😭 also there's +25% chance of your opponent just shooting themselves even if the odds are with them. so like... omg how did you pull that off 😭

Loving the Art Style <3
Cool little game, i think the info about the 7 bullets and the drops should be on the game itself or have a proper tutorial. Love so much that artstyle and sound effects!
There wasn't enough additional information - it looks like a complete randomness (although not so) if there was at least information about how many places there are in the cylinder and how many bullets there are, it would be better.
also, I still did not understand what the torsion and the indicator (force indicator? the number of rounds?)
it looks really cool and juicy!!
good point, there are 7 chambers there (not the usual 6) its a bit weird so a lil tutorial wouldve made sense. oh the torsion indicator is, yk force indicator, its how hard you'll spin the gun.
also thanks! i used the lerp thingy for everything so it was zoom zoom :3
10/10 i would die again
Very fun! Quite annoying when you instantly die on your first ever turn though lol
ye it's annoying. that's why i added a +25% chance that you win on the first turn. but that still wasnt enough lmao 😭

Really fun little game! The tiny character we play as looks so done with life, it’s hilarious. I got 14 kills before getting hit, now I’m wondering, what’s your high score? xD
my high score... i forgor. does the highscore i got while debugging count 😭 (it was 20 btw i was dedicated on finding bugs)
8 kills, not that bad!
Very cute art style. I like the pause before you shoot, its very good at building tension. The SFX is quite nice. I wish I got more powerups because I feel like that's were the depth lies, but all in all, great job!
thank you! i did want to add secret fourth powerup when you defeat the triangle guy. it was GENIUS: you shoot once, they shoot twice on their turn... but the first powerup already kinda did that with less risk sooo i didnt make it 😭 and so now that triangle guy is a lil jerk that gives you nothing
I love the simple but cute art. Nice job!
