Cool game and really nice visual look and feel. Early game is a bit too slow though, it takes a while to get a few upgrades and then it picks up nicely.
I appreciate your honest feedback, ty :)
fun game with nice replayability! i liked the art a lot as well & the base enemy is super cute/kirby like. i had a bit of trouble with enemies spawning too close at times, but other than that it was really enjoyable.
Thank you for trying it out !
This is a fun, well designed game! I think it would have been nice if the bigger enemies spawned a little more often, because they dropped so much more money than the small enemies for proportionally less ammo (and ammo is everything), but it was still really fun! It's also very well balanced stats wise!
Thanks !
This is a neat game with a very simple game loop. It felt like enemies spawned a bit too close sometimes, not giving enough time to react and everything felt really expensive in the shop for how few coins I was able to get in a round. Otherwise I like the concept of using your life as your weapon, I can see this getting really good with some tweaks and more time to work on it!
Thank you for the feedback ! I gave myself 2 days to make it so the scope was pretty limited, I understand your points and will maybe expand the game in the future ^^
Very funny pixel art, i love the cow monster thingy ! I felt that not every killed enemy dropping ammo was a bit unfair because it made fighting them a losing strategy. Will have to come bakc later to plya again because i want to try all the weapons ! Good work on player retention !
Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you like the pixel art! :) Ammo box can drop from all enemies with a 10% base chance + 5% per upgrade.
I think I was really unlucky with enemies spawning on top of me haha; but otherwise neat game!
Thanks for playing ! And the enemies have a minimum distance to spawn away from you, but some of them can spawn closer due to their bigger hitbox. Sorry if it felt unfair :3
A very competent entry! I enjoyed my time with it. Start is a bit slow but things pick up after the first upgrade or two. I was frustrated by how no matter how many damage upgrades I got, I couldn't kill the base enemies in one hit, felt like artificial difficulty. Also the cowboy flipping is a bit glitchy when aligned with the mouse vertically. But all in all good arcade fun!
Thanks for trying it out ! And the enemies stats goes up each time you buy an upgrade to keep it challenging so i can see why it's a bit frustrating.
That's fair enough, I wouldn't say it _completely_ kills a sense of progression since the bigger guys are still easier to kill overall, but you're definitely riding a line haha. Still enjoyable either way!
fun! i wish the progression was a little faster. it’s polished and the idea to count down health with bullets definitely changed how i played, so that was cool
Thanks gnaw ! Yeah sorry about that, after some try I noticed it's a bit slow to earn gold but couldn't update in time.
no worries, it was overall great! and i very much relate to running out of time for those last-minute tweaks.
I actually caught myself playing this for half an hour, great job
Nice ! I'm super happy to hear that you played this long. (I also played quite some time to unlock all the guns while making it ahah)
This is very well-made and super fun! I think games with "X resource is everything" mechanics are really cool, with the bullets also being your health. Nice job!
Thank you Icicle, it means a lot ! And I agree with you, its adding some challenge too.
BROO , THIS IS SOOO GOOD , Had so much fun playing it , i am saving it to play it later again and again ,its so fun , funny thing is i made a similar mechanic in my game , but i love your effort so muchh
ahah thanks a lot I appreciate ! I'm glad you had fun , and I'll check your game after ^^
sometimes i don't know what killed me
Hey, thanks for playing ! When you shoot bullets, your health goes down at the same time. Sorry if it was unclear :)
