Cool idea and nice execution, well done!
I think I’m bad at this game, but what I could experience was fun! Love the visual of the dodge roll as a cartwheel, made me laugh a lot :)
Well done!
Love the art and animations. The boss especially is really well done and I like how many different attacks you were able to give them!
Had a lot of fun playing this! Controls worked well, art and sound were pretty good too. I think it would have been fun if you had to destroy all the enemies for the wave to advance. Also visually it is sometimes it felt unclear if you were about to be hit. Still had a lot of fun and like the idea, great job!
I've never seen a cowboy cry, or cartwheeling, but it's pretty funny when they do
Very fun game! My only complaint would be the enemies fleeing way to fast, I had no time to kill almost any on the more distant waves. Other than that, pretty good experience!
Good to see a wild guns tribute in the bounty jam! Art was pretty adorable and the cartwheeling was cool to use. I'd have liked the enemies to stick around a little longer, but it does keep the pace of the game brisk. A fun entry!
Fun and easy to jump right into! The cartwheel animation geeked me out haha, loved it.
Couldn't beat the boss but it was very fun to play. Also, the green little aliens might have had less life, I could only kill 1 alien every wave. Or maybe I was just noob xD. The cowboy v aliens theme is neat!
What a wild world you have created. Very charming art style!
Had lots of fun with this one! It's a pretty hard game but that makes for a good challenge. The only thing that felt maybe too punishing was the fire that could box you in with how long it lasts. Can't remember if the controls mention it, but holding mouse down is definitely the play! The first few runs I was clicking lololol
I really enjoyed the game, the graphics and original sound, I loved it. I really had fun trying it out.
What a fun game, loved the art and music! One thing I would suggest is making the bullets go further, they stop where your cursor is, it's not a big deal but it's something that took me some time to get used to. Otherwise, great job!
a bit tricky but besides that its a nice simple game :)
The game is pretty cool! I found the fire a bit to punishing by being too long, but after many tries I made it to the boss!
Good job!
The game looks really good. Nice character. Getting the golden gun really feels like a power up that I want to use sparingly. It changes the game from don't stop shooting to aim carefully. It's satisfying to dodge through the fire without getting hurt. The gameplay is nice and smooth and it's fun to shoot the aliens.
I don't always know when I lose. Wish it told me when the game restarted, maybe what stage I made it to.
Almost made it through. Cool boss.
omg, you basically did wild guns ;)
I wanted to make it too, but it was way out of scope. But really cool you tried to make something like that.
Sounds were cool, the western alien mix was cool.
I enjoyed blasting the aliens away, also cool and hilarious is the dodge-roll ;) I liked the crosshair and movement.
A few more weapons and more variation in enemys would have been an improvement. I think the font is western style so it is fitting your theme but I would go for something western themed but with better readabilty.
Cool bossfight, but could not beat him. Well done!
Oh my gooood yes, thank you! Wild Guns was our inspiration. I'm a big fan of the game so I immediately proposed that idea ahah! Thank you for your nice feedback, and for going long enough to fight the boss! I would have loved to implement more ennemies and weapons, but we couldn't! Thank you very much !
Was tricky but super fun! I loved all the art and animations! Really fun concept and great gameplay. I did start panic shooting and it seemed like when a bunch of sounds played at once, the audio started to bug out a little. Really awesome game though! Loved it!
hard but fun, love the death animation and the little aliens are cute, good art :)
I also couldn't figure out exactly how to doge some of the enemies but I really enjoy how I could just load up the game, and immediately know what's going on and how i could just start shotting the aliens. I feel like the theme was fun, the sound effects were great, and I had a fun shooting and trying to get my aim right. Nice progression too. Felt like i was at an arcade again and that was awesome
