Very simple game but pretty awesome actually! Was this made in Scratch? I love to see it if it is! Also, I love the voice... honestly really really cool!

Submitted

I like the concept as it was fun LOL, the art is also great. However, it's quite confusing to play; it needs more instruction and guidance for the player.

I give you a lot of credit for having a unique vision and trying something interesting. Unfortunately was kind of difficult to parse what was happening, since actions didn't seem to have any feedback other than a win or loss screen. I think it would translate better if there was more feedback and animations showing that after you pick up the gun, you spin the wheel, then the gun firing itself has a 1/x chance of whichever outcome. 

But overall unhinged in a fun way!

This had a really unique and creepy style. The character designs were unsettling in a fun way, and the voice acting actually added a lot to the horror vibe. I also liked how strange and wacky the presentation felt, it definitely stood out from a lot of other jam games.

My main feedback is that the gameplay was pretty confusing. I wasn’t fully sure how the gun/barrel/spin mechanic worked, and it felt like I clicked a few times and then won without really understanding why. Some clearer instructions, more feedback when clicking/shooting, and an actual spin animation would help a lot. Still, this was a creative and memorable entry with a cool creepy atmosphere.

unique art, but i also couldnt understand how to play, i pressed a few times to the gun and then i won. i agree with the bellow comment, scratch is not good for development, you should change into a better game engine

that being said i liked what you did with characters its creepy and voices fit that style too

Submitted

Didn't really understand how to play, but it was alright! I think it's a very unique concept. Though I would switch to a more advanced coding software. Yes, it's hard, yes, it takes a long time, but it's so awesome the things you can produce! Overall, though pretty solid game.

Submitted

Very unique spooky style. However, I didn't understand how to play. I clicked 6 times on the gun, then won? Could'nt understand how to spin the barrel.

Also, the fullscreen button didn't work on web.

Anyway, congrats for the jam!

It is scary but the sound is too loud and the visuals could be improved!

I was not expecting the voice acting. Actually got me a bit scared.

Now would you believe me when I say that its literally just me but with a robotic effect on it 

Submitted

My god I really wasn't expecting the monster to be this creepy haha

I'd have really liked a spin animation for the wheel when picking a gun, and for it to be reactive when I left click after picking it up, because at first I didn't understand if I was playing the game correctly, I thought I had to spin the wheel but couldn't, and I wanted to shoot but clicking didn't seem to do anything until a bang comes out after a couple seconds.

Very creative though, and it's cool that you're creating your universe shared by multiple games!

The guy was really creepy, but I couldn't understand how the gameplay worked. Every single time I shot it was a blank.
