Nice! Fun and engaging. Just got a little problem with screen scaling.

I thought all you had to do to reload guns was press R? gg

I like the combination of the turn-based, strategic shooting and the frantic reloading. I think in terms of mechanics this game is quite solid--made a whole game out of ammo management, and it's even good. :)

Some criticism: the sound is obviously at the bare minimum acceptable level right now. The way the bullets move as you reload them--quite floaty--moves this mechanic (which is excellent) a little away from building tension toward frustration. I think if this was very smooth and precise it would take nothing from the difficulty and simply enhance the experience of what is, at core, a cool gameplay loop.

I totally loved the idea and creativity in it, If it has some story it would have been wonderful. The reload mechanism was nice but a bit laggy for me. After all, GREAT JOB!

Cool game, cool concept.

I don't like the extreme delay drag on the bullets and think the revolver could have a larger hitbox for placing bullets, but the countdown aspect of bullets and reload is a really cool duel concept that is executed great.

The game is a psuedo-puzzle, determine best route of zombies to hit
Some UX can be implemented, ie, on the revolver indicating the order the bullets will be fired, current loaded shot
I accidently shot a 10 damage bullet into ammo lol.. Was not happy

Love the game, will be playing again after jam

I like the idea a lot, even though it's not a game for me. I'm really bad at manual dexterity stuff, so I found the reloading to be more frustrating than fun, but I understand it's a me issue, and not a design issue. I feel like allowing the player to see what bullet is going to be shot next would make the game more fun, but I understand why it's hidden. The game loop is easy to understand, the art is good and so are the sfx. Very nice job for a short jam!

Nice one! Actually having to reaload by manually dragging the bullets adds so much tension to the experience!

Keep up the good work!

Nice game, interesting reload system. Displayed slightly cut off in the top on my screen, but nothing blocking. I well done!

Stressful in the best way possible, really makes me have to lock in during the reloads, very fun especially when u feel that tension when you start to get surrounded

As promised here's the review:

I really like the concept of reloading, and managing bullets and time. this said, I have a few suggestions: I would make the bullets more responsive to the mouse movement when reloading, because with too much smoothing it can feel like it's less precise and sometimes misses the bullet slot.

The gameplay is good, tho for me it was a bit difficult. overall a very solid entry, good job and good luck :)

Cool idea, unique mechanics. Game gets out of hand pretty fast if you mess up but easy to restart.

Submitted(+1)

Pretty good, I love the animations, and the way you reload.

Submitted(+1)

reloading is great really makes me anxious like that one breaking bad scene 

Submitted(+1)

Stressful but enjoyable. The reload mechanic is a very good

Fun little adventure. Liked the reloading gimmick, made me think on my feet.

Submitted(+1)

the audio does a good job of makes us feel thetime pressure and  makes me lock tf in

Submitted(+1)

I loved shooting the zombies!! Maybe making the reload a bit better would make the game even better!
Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Ahhhh having to reload in such a short time (and the timer ticking in our ears) is so stressful! Haha love it, makes it tense and forces to aim the bullet in their slots correctly.

Good job!

Thank you for playing.

So we manage to achieve what we wanted with the reload mechanic <3
