How does your game represent "Slick"?
Bandits have infested the outpost. You're a slick card-slinger in the wild wild west, out to make things right. Your horse: he's fast. Your gun: he's faster.
Hoon around the gulch drifting through the sands, before dueling enemies in a one on one high-noon sharp-shootin' showdown. Draw your weapon, fling your cards, trickshot them to play them.

I rate this game 5 Golden Potatoes out of 5!!!!!
Awesome Game Can't waits for more of it!!!!!
As others have said, the “quick thinking” mechanic when the cards fly is genius. This should be a full-fledged game. Amazing work!
This is really great! I love how you only have a few moments to make decisions about what cards to play and in what order. It's really satisfying to discover how to use your cards. For instance, you learn that it's generally better to play horseshoes first, which is pretty simple, but with more cards I can see that little discovery process happening over and over in a way that could be really fun and satisfying.
Having an actual space to navigate between combat is an interesting idea. I think it would be really cool to couple the card game with the navigation somehow. Currently they seem pretty starkly separated such that I'm not sure if the horse navigation is actually adding much to the game, but it would be cool if they somehow tied into each other.
I think you guys should keep up with this one because it's really fun, unique, and interesting. Well done!
Rattlesnake Jake might be my new favorite video game character, we've become like brothers in this lonely desert lmao.
Every other comment is right on the money, this game is so good it has the potential to be something big!! It's reminds me of Inscryption in the best way possible. I love this mixture of wild west theming and strategy card game. The tree pathing really gives it that solid layer of replayability, making the journey different every time, and I love the resource management that's sprinkled in; each time I ride across the valley I have to ask myself "what consequences will I face if I choose going to spot A instead of spot B", it also allows the player to tailor their gaming experience to fit them, which is a hard thing for a developer to do when mapping out the trees but so satisfying to see in action.
Right now I got beef with Gattle Rattle over there, he's had it too good for too long and this game ain't big enough for the two of us. Definitely put me on the waitlist if you ever expand on this, I'll be first in line to play it!! You've done a mighty fine job partner 🤠✨
Oh man this is awesome! The primary shooting mechanic is so satisfying and combining it with a deckbuilder is a stroke of genius. I managed to clear all the way to the end, but the bandits didn’t make it easy for me! Excellent work!
This was a really fun game to play in the jam. Hope that you make more of the game once the jam is over!
I love it.
For me, it is the most enjoyable game of the jam.
This could be such a cool game if fleshed out.
I even tried messing around with the game by jumping off the edge, but you even thought about that, haha!
