How does your game represent "Slick"?
Reloading and cocking the revolver in smooth, fast (slick) motions is the most efficient way to play

Ayy, horse-type game! The chunkiness of the reload and cocking mechanics feels so damn good. Love the dust coming towards me, you've built a fantastic atmosphere. When I noticed the gun was nerf, I knew this was peak. 1:01 has been my best so far. I want to try for better, but them camping varmints keep surprising me popping out of the dust! Very satisfying game, great work!
super unique reload, and chamber system had a lot of fun trying to get my score up but man am i bad at this lol great game :)
Cool controls and I like the art style and title alot!
Veeeeery slick, loved the reload and hammer reset action, could have probably benefited from either a longer enemy shot timer or better visibility from the dust, but whatcha gonna do
Super hard which is perfect since it mimics all those games I used all my quarters in as a kid at arcades lol. Only issue was I kept dying during a large dust storm that completely hid enemies.
Awesome game!
There’s something really satisfying about flicking down to reload then blasting an enemy right in the face. Took a while for me to figure that out though, I thought every time I shot I needed to do a full circle. Managed to get up to 11 kills. The enemies start spawning a lot faster than I can reload!
I found this one when sorting by random and I am so glad that I did.
This game kicks ass and looks super cool! The dust clouds sometimes are a little TOO insane to spot some of the oncoming baddies and I would take a hit on occasion there was simply no way to see coming, but I wasn't ever too mad about it and just wanted to jump right back in.
The art style is charming, the mouse controls are fun, I really like the digitized sprites for the hand and Nerf gun, I managed to get 40 seconds and I think it said 20 kills? Not too shabby. Super cool! :P
I really liked the gesture controls, they add so much depth to the simple act of shooting and reloading. I also think that making the game an on-rails shooter was a great choice, it really lets the unique mechanics shine. My only issue with the game as others have noted, is the difficulty. In particular, the dust, while great for atmosphere, makes enemies difficult to see, and almost invisible when directly in front, where the dust effect is stacked. This could have been remedied by drawing the enemies as silhouettes on a higher layer when the dust gets thick.
Overall, great gaem!
having trouble figuring out how to be accurate in this game but the controls are really fun!
this game is epic lowkey, no complaints
Really nifty game. Using mouse gestures for actions was just great. It was quite difficult though, right from the start. Maybe make it easier to begin with and ramp up the difficulty with time.
I love how motion is used in this game. Couldn't get too far in a single run but I replayed it alot.
I like the reload mechanics alot. Felt like Time Crisis in a way. Difficulty ceiling is a touch high though.
I love the graphics and the use of the "nerf" gun that defo isn't turning people into blood splats :D
The reload mechanics are very satisfying, even if the game is a little too unforgiving imo :)
This horse was very bravely running through enemies. I liked the reload/hammer mechanic. And the music suited the action very well. Neat game. Nicely done!
