Interesting game, but shooting is a bit difficult to aim precisely. But that narrator voice...

I like the alternate interpretation of "you only get one," the number series matching concept, the changing shadows, and the cutaways on death.

It'd be easier if there was a marker noting the bullet spawn point. It takes a bit to figure out how to line up your shot.

It'd be a hassle to implement, but it's frustrating when you fire right before the wanted poster changes.

gatechgrad 2013-12-16 04:06

Thanks for the comments. I could add a line showing the path of the bullet, or maybe make "lanes" with different colored dirt showing the path of the bullet.
There is a bar at the bottom of the Wanted poster showing how much time is left until it changes, but it's hard to look at it and control your character at the same time.

Aiming is tricky, you get the hang of it. Nice graphic touch with the shadows moving.

tiffi 2013-12-16 04:55

+1 for the cute death animation and the voice!

vinull 2013-12-16 05:15

Love the 3D graphics (especially "one") and the light changing while playing. I also though find it tough to aim.

bloatedhippo 2013-12-16 05:39

Love the artstyle and voice!

recursor 2013-12-16 12:21

Haha nice take on the theme, and I like the way you switched up which numbers to shoot. I had a bit of difficulty aiming but I just count that as part of the learning curve. Nice job on the Blender3D models by the way. I especially like the character's death animation.

Ha, pretty good, shooting was bit imprecise, but otherwise it played really well. Narrator voice was great.

xel 2013-12-17 05:10

Apparently I don't know my maths. Great concept though. The narrator was great.

spelchan 2013-12-17 05:16

Very interesting twist on the theme! Well done.

goerp 2013-12-17 11:41

Haha, nice take on the theme. Good consistent graphics and the honky tonk piano sound was good with the wild west theme.
Did I hear 'shoot the perfects'? I had to look that up on wikipedia :)

Like other people I had some trouble aiming.

Nice.

NIce game, although I had a hard time aiming.

olafsworld98 2013-12-18 04:01

hmm what gmfk07 said

pkenney 2013-12-18 04:10

Many cool touches, and while the aiming was tough, it was not unfair.

It seemed a little rough that someone could be a bandit, and I pull my trigger, and then while the bullet is in the air he's not a bandit anymore. I kept worrying about it and glancing over at the countdown meter, but I guess that's as designed? Also, WHERE ARE YOU, PERFECT SIX??

korwegian 2013-12-18 18:06

It was alright. Hard to aim and the targets would change right after I fire at a number.

2013-12-18 18:27

Cool. Kind of like the offensive version of Pig and Bullet...not that the game is offensive or anything haha.

Could use a reticle on screen to give better feedback of where your shots are headed, but other than that no suggestions. Narration is once again a strong point.

spe 2013-12-19 02:12

yeah aiming is a bit hard to predict but you can get used to it. Would be nice if you could change the aiming in order to hit targets that are nearly besides you.

joror 2013-12-19 19:28

The game need some more variation (colors / settings / challenges), but nice casual start.

michail 2013-12-19 20:37

Nice voice acting and background music, also interesting use of the theme and maths. The aiming is hard at the beginning, but I got used to it after some time.

stmatn 2013-12-20 11:00

Nice idea!
I like the changing targer idea. Shooting is a bit tricky, because of the perspective. You could make shooting easier by placing reference lines on the ground. Of courst something fitting (maybe put the light behind the gunman and use the shadow as a guidance).
It took me way too long to get the connection between the title and the odd (no pun intended!) look of the gunman :D
Nice work!

xbelanch 2013-12-22 16:53

A funny game but I missed a pointer to shoot with more precision. Love the narrator's voice :)

hamster_mk_4 2013-12-24 03:00

Hard to determine fire lanes, but a great concept none the less.

tobbez 2013-12-24 03:03

Aiming was too difficult something need to be done about it. The wall of numbers that appeared after some time was an interesting way to finish games.

madflame991 2013-12-24 08:21

The game is funny and clever. I liked the animations and the concept, but actually managing to shoot something is a different story. If you polish the shooting a bit, this can be a really fun game.

mephi 2013-12-24 10:46

Haha, fun game. Nice take on the theme!

ViliX 2013-12-24 13:23

Innovative game :)

taylorlunt 2013-12-25 08:57

Solid game. Weird narration haha.

lotusgame 2013-12-25 09:01

Nice game. Too bad precision is a little bit awkward and finally frustrating. I like the innovative gameplay and theme integration. It's a great job ! Congrats :)

jejeboy 2013-12-25 21:53

Cool lighting. "Shoot fibonaccis" made me smile.

archaeometrician 2013-12-26 01:23

Interesting game ! The graphics are well done, nice animations ! Great work :)

jacob2512 2013-12-26 16:44

good graphics, but could use some work on the aiming.

loxo 2013-12-29 12:32

Good audio, graphics and an unique idea. I like the changing wanted list, it adds much to the game. Overall a good job!

patrickgh3 2014-01-03 03:25

Love the voice effects, especially "shoot fibonaccis." Lots of fun!

roguenoodle 2014-01-04 13:10

Really neat idea! Aiming was very difficult - maybe if he wasn't able to move freely, but only to different positions? Not sure if that would be fun at all, though. The voice over was a nice touch - once I got used to what they referred to as far as targets go, it was cool not having to look to the corner to see what to shoot.

bradleysmith 2014-01-04 22:01

Difficult buy quite satisfying, good work. :)

emmelineprufrock 2014-01-06 05:35

The camera angle made shooting a little difficult, but I could see this being a really great education game for learning numbers. I really had fun. Great work. (death animation was fantastic -- I should know, I died a lot)
