really good game overall. the hold and draw feels really realistic in that u have to hold the gun and count and draw at the last moment.
This is a very well polished game. I did get a bit frustrated with the sway mechanic, as I already don't have the steadiest hands. But it was still fun and a very interesting mechanic. Good job!
Thanks! Yeah ngl the away got to me a bit once in a while...I'd have liked to have tuned that a bit more but with the limit to kind of just had to get it into"good enough" territory and hope for the best. If you time it juuust right it shouldn't give much a problem, tho.
Duelling and Vampires are so down my alley!
I think you really nailed the aesthetic, and the music choice is such a great mash-up of the two…
Thank you for giving me this fantastic experience, I didn’t know how much I needed it!
Great job across the board, truly!
Thanks a lot for the kind words and checking it out :)
Very cool and addictive idea for a game, really hard but I could not put the game down! I think my only critique is the art style is quite harsh on the eyes, and I think using smooth gradients instead of pixel ones would've made the game look a bit more "clean"? Would've also made the text a bit easier to read from a distance also. Very fun and clever game otherwise
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate the kind words. I understand about the start style...I was messing around in Aseprite and discovered dithering, and once I got going not even a force of god could stop me. Just got carried away. This will forever be my, "Guess what I just discovered...?" game in regards to dithering.
An excellent and stylish entry! The game mechanics are great for the theme, and very fun!
Concept is cool. Very original.
The added staggering is a bit annoying given the mouse movement is already not easy, if you reall y want to implement stagger add it later, specific for an enemy, and progressively harder.
This is reaaally cool !! I love the quickdraw mechanic as well as the timing needed !
Really well made, you did a great job !
Haha... this is a really cool game, really solid mechanic that takes a while to master. apparently i would NOT have survived the wild west lol
Ha! It's all good. Thanks for checking it out!
It is a cool game! I like to hunt the vampires :D
The atmosphere of the game looks nice. The idea is really creative, the visual design of the game is really top notch. I can say the same for the audio. On the other hand, the effects are also amazing. Had fun!
Thanks for checking it out!
A very cool game with a very nice idea!
I liked the idea, and the art was amazing.
This game is really fun and creative! It gets pretty hard but thats probably a skill issue i have (i got 382).
That's not bad! Yeah it can be tough. I'd have liked to have tested it more but kinda yolo'ed it because of the time limitations.
Probably this is top 10 in every catergory besides maybe story.
The only thing I could nitpick is that the blood splatter of the final shot remains on screen during the final text and also the first word of that is written "HIs" instead of "His". But all of this meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Thanks for playing, congrats on beating it, and thanks for the kind words! The blood on the screen and lackluster story I can live with... typos are the things that keep me up at night.... UGH!
i loved it <3 dont know how you made all of this in 4 days lol
Thanks for playing!
I loved the vibe and challenge of this game!
I got 270 on Medium. High marks in all rating categories!
Thanks for playing! Dang that's pretty good. Haha well done.
Neat game with a solid game loop! Kinda reminded me of the quickdraw parts of the call of juarez games in a way!
Great artstyle and very addictive game loop!
Fantastic work ! :)
Thanks for checking it out! You're the second person I've heard mention Call of Juarez. I've heard of that game but im'a check out the quickdraw stuff in in a YT video!
I could have sworn you were inspired by those games haha! It's one of the better parts of that franchise for sure :)
That was sick! Enjoyed the vibe and gameplay, pretty challenging :)
Great game with a great application of the theme. I don't think it's horribly clear what the target draw time is, but I might have missed that in the tutorial, or the use of "early" makes it seem that you have fired too soon. But really small thing to tweak.
