One of our team members played this a couple days back and I thought "Oh, fellow cowboy game! Let's go play that!" I'm glad I waited a bit, or I might've spent every playing session in the quick cue. Ridiculously fun.

This is an absolute masterpiece of a 2D pixel art game! The cowboy animations are incredibly fluid, the aesthetic is gorgeous, and the entire experience feels so beautifully well-polished. Funnily enough, I actually made a jam game with the exact same title: Cowboy Countdown! If you ever get a spare moment between rating entries, I would be absolutely honored if you rode on over to check out my version too. Fantastic work on this, it's a huge favorite of mine so far!

Running Out of TimeWasn't expecting a multiplayer game, but this a great take on the theme. Nice work~
(and I'm glad you can't hit the bunnies)

Cargo ChaosHad a great time just playing with a random. Waited for like 20 seconds to find someone to play with. GG. I like the online approach. I didn’t quite dare to make my game online, so I went for an asynchronous approach instead and built a level editor with shareable level codes.

SHOW DOWN at high noonThis is a great idea! Wish there was just a regular solo mode since I couldn't find a match. The SFX and visuals are very fun too!

Justice is [BLANK]This was super fun and creative! I could only play the tutorial as no one was matching my quickplay options, so an 'offline' mode would have been nice :)
the art was neat, and the different 'powerups' all played quite nicely! love the cactus hopping lol
good work!
