This game was good, kept me engaged and you have an interesting take on the reload. Well done

Developer

Thank you so much!!

The game is fun, looks good, and I enjoyed hunting the snakes until the very last !  Good job !

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed hunting till the end

The reloading system is pretty good, a real storyline to follow, a lot of work went into it, even in the dialogue effects, I really like it!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing my game!

Submitted

cool

Developer

thank you!

really cute game. i think a tutorial would be a great addition to the game, but i had fun either way. good job!

Developer

Thank you!!! I agree that more prompting / tutorial section would have been a good addition

Submitted

Well done, though unless I missed it nothing said how to shoot; I ended up killing all but the last 10 snakes until I figured it out by accident, prior I had been luring them all to the tracks to run them over.

So a tutorial or prompt to shoot by the ammo would help, and either faster movement speed or a sprint / dash.

Developer

Thank you for playing my game! Its honestly impressive you were able to kill so many snakes by luring them to the tracks.

This really highlights the importance of getting other people to test your games! In my brain it was obvious to shoot but that's because I built the system, so I didn't think to setup a prompt for it. I will make sure to take your feedback on board for next time!

Really nice game! I really enjoyed playing it :D

Developer

Thank you!

i was sad that nothing happened after i killed all snakes xD

Developer

Thank you for playing it all the way through! I unfortunately ran out time before I was able to sort something out for the end

Submitted

  Really enjoyed! The art reminds me of Mother 3 :P

 The player movement is slow, but the game is build around that, so at the end it dosen't matter that much. The limitation is a cool concept! The only problem that i've had is that it's too short of a time to reload, making me press the reload button around 5 times to reload my gun. 

 But regardless, loved!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I definitely agree the reload time is too short in hindsight.

Hey man, very cool game, maybe add an tutorial for the controls, i feel like the limitation was not fully implemented but overall was a good experience, i loved the music and art style.

Thank you for playing my game! I did have a lot of struggles trying to come up with ideas for the limitation, but I'm glad you enjoyed.

Submitted

loved shot effects
killed all the snakes but no win :(

Developer

Thank you for playing my game! I unfortunately ran out of time otherwise I would have like to get a win screen set up

I think the dropping of ammo is more annoying than a fun limitation. I got quite good at just picking up 2 pieces of ammo quickly. Could be an interesting mechanic for a horror game. Prensentation is soo good though.

Thank you for playing my game!

Making reloading all about scattering bullets turned it into a surprisingly fresh experience. It’s a brilliant idea. 
It looks awkward at first, but dragging the bullets in feels smooth and satisfying, like they’re being pulled right into place. I really liked how that felt.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Really love the art style and sound effects of the game. Dropping ammo is a real WORNG. Nice work.

Developer

Thank you!
