I had so much fun with your game!! I love a good hunting game, and this felt so fun to hit the deer! I got a triple kill and laughed out loud at how comical the strike was. Deer bones scattered everywhere, haha! Amazing. Loved it!

HOLYY SH&T!
Good F*cking Job!
That game was certainly an experience, Next time I go deer hunting I will definitely make sure to bring my orbital space laser :)
Only critique is the repetitiveness, once you've beaten the first level you have essentially seen everything there is to do with the game (not that that is a bad thing), I thoroughly enjoyed playing your game though and I cant wait to see where it goes next!!
I kept it short in hopes of keeping it from getting too repetitive. I hope you got a chuckle out of it!
Oh ya chuckes were had :)
does this hurt the deer?
this taught me the thrill of what gambling feels like as i would predict the movement of the deer. i feel like there are some serious moral implications of this game too, would be funny to swich POVs and then become a deer shooting the humans on earth2. pew pew.
Thanks for fitting my silly game into your schedule!
I never knew before that nuclear bombs are the most effective way to hunt deer! I'll keep it in mind for when the apocalypse happens.
It didn't run super well on my computer but well enough to play for a bit, it's quite an original idea! And the way the deer bounce when you hit them is funny aswell :P
The only thing I would complain about is that I felt it was a little repetitive gameplay wise, after killing a couple I thought to myself: ''alright, I get it'' and kinda just wanted to move on. If you'd like to expand on this idea sometime though I think that could be easily fixed by adding some more randomness. Things like different bullets or other targets, not just deer. That would make it into more of a sandbox that people can mess around with at their leasure and just look at all the effects or laught at the physics.
Fun little game though, I'm glad I gave it a shot!
Thanks for checking it out! I didn't make many levels or expand because I knew the content was repetitive and was really only meant for a couple minutes of chuckles at the absurdity of the whole thing. There is some optimization stuff that was missed also due to me not seeking out enough play tests prior to final upload. I'm sorry it ran poorly. Patch is ready for jam end. I'm happy it still provided a few minutes of fun.
Never knew nuking deer could feel so good
Thanks for checking it out. I played your game last night and enjoyed it alot. Super out there creativity, right up my alley!
Now thats what I'm talking about!!! Masterpiece 10/10 "HOLY SHI*T" feel that fr
Interesting game lol, instead of taking cow with UFO we just send an ORBITAL STRIKE !!! XDDDD
The best strat is just spamming the orbital strkike to clean level fast
Thank you so much for checking it out! Explosions will scale with the temperature gauge and the spin to win is being reworked a bit in the coming patch after judging. I hope to balance the challenge a bit.
this was wild hahahahaha
its peak tbh good job LOL
The game was fun but hard, it was really satisfying to hear the onKill SFX and seeing the deers flying. Also the aestethic of the UI fits the story very well. Maybe the spin could be a bit slower, I feel that beating past level 2 trying to play "legit" was way too hard so just tapping repeatedly was the easier way to win the 3 levels which I did
Thanks for checking it out! I wasn't able to get much playtesting prior to the final upload, I have some balance changes, fixes and updates ready to go for voting end. I'm glad you still had fun!
Ay I ran the game after the dx11 fix and it ran perfectly! As other people have said the games vibe is so fun, having that "heck yeah" vibe of arcades is definitely a unique idea. The last level is pretty hard though, I couldnt beat it but had allot of fun trying!
Awesome! I'm so happy you got to play it! Thanks for coming back for another try!
Genuinely impressed, no complaints, this is quite literally something you should try selling to those adult game bars like Dave and Busters so people can hop on a machine and blast freaking deer from space. It's satisfying getting "holy s___" and watching bambi fly up above the trees. This is a good lesson to a newbie like me that a game doesn't need to be too complicated, it just needs to be fun. This is the type of game I'm going to keep downloaded on my computer to just have a good time with and burn off steme/mind numb the stress.
Wow! That really means a ton! That was my exact target audience when making this game. I wanted to have the arcade quick amusement feel. Something you can walk up to and play for a few minutes, chuckle and walk away feeling good. Be sure to snag the update after the jam ends. I'm adding some scaling to the explosives that correspond to the heat level for bigger booms and higher levels. Also a couple much needed fixes. Thank you so much for taking the time to check it out!
