Very nice graphics and sound. I didn't exactly understood the shooting from behind cover mechanics at first but I got the hang of it in the 2nd try. I also didn't understand how to get more bullets, or 9 bullets is your maximum
Unable to start the game, pressing -space- does nothing.
Nice graphics and cool concept.
Well done!
Very impressive for you First Ludum Dare project. Very strong and interesting visual style. The dueling was alil glitchy for me, id often get killed for no apparent reason. The evolving background looked great it was difficult to track how much of each class. Overall a great submission. Good job!
The general ideia is good but you should be worrying more about the gameplay.
Awesome game! Visual si stunning and idea great. I really liked how the city is changing. I'd only wish if there could be more types of people and more options how to interact with them.
+1 for snowman :)
Nice game, but the duels are way too hard. I couldn't win a single one. So eventually I just let everyone in... So it wasn't too fun for me.
The graphics and audio seems polished, but I feel it is a bit too hard gameplay-wise. Of course, I might just suck at dueling. :p
Really nice game ^^ I love the art and the idea behind this game :D
Thanks for the comments guys! Well, the duels are a bit hard yes, specially at the beginning. The trick is: there's a chance when the enemies are hiding behind the barrels, just be quick and press J to load/aim the weapon and then K to shoot once an enemy gets up, and then cover immediatly! When 1 enemy is down it gets easier to kill the last 2. Just aim the weapon (J) until one of them gets up and shoot! (K) then hide again quickly (SPACE) and take your time to kill another one ;) Hope this help guys!
Anyway, yes, I guess you're right, the gameplay may need a bit of polish and sometimes you don't really see how the characters affect the city. We needed more time to improve this things haha
Well, glad you enjoyed it, and nice to see that you liked the idea and the visual style. Thanks guys!!
Emkani: sorry to hear you can't play it! Have you tried the downloadable version apart from the web version?
Amazing, awesome graphics! Great idea!
Works a-ok in the browser, but I was unable to run OS X version, it doesn't even bounce in the dock, appears and disappears.
Love the music and it looks really good too. I'm a big Wild West fan :D found the shooting hard to get right but I really like the game overall
Wow, great job on the art! I liked the music as well. This looks extremely polished!
Super creative idea. Very interesting. I would like to see this game expanded on. Maybe some other systems put into place. Great Job!
very appealing visuals
Stunning!
Really nice job! Congrats!
Loved it. Great graphics. But how can I get more bullets? Also the player's barrel should be pushed a bit down, it doesn't seem to be covering the player at all. Anyway, great first entry. COngrats!
Great entry, nice graphics and sound. I like the innovation on the mechanics, they are simple but at the same time entertaining and rewarding, although not suitable for a longer game. And I think you inverted the controls on the help up there, when I press J I start the fight between the sheriff and the strangers.
Could'nt survive for long though.
Juicy graphics and sound design, great work! The game mechanism is also creative, although player seems do not have too many choices, or the best choice is too outstanding some times.
The 1st level is a bit difficult, for that enemies shoot really fast before the player realize he needs a cover.
Good job anyway!
Had a little bit of trouble with the shooting at first, but got the hang of it the second time. Very simple game in a good way and I like the distinctive look a lot.
Really nice! The art style is ace. I didn't get how the duels worked at first, but once I got the hang of it I managed to get to the end! (Not on my first try though. Those pesky miners made my town too noisy!)
Spilim: glad you like it! About the help post: you press (J) to start a fight and (K) to allow strangers to come into your town, indeed! But once you start the fight, you press (J) to cock/aim your weapon and (K) to shoot. That's what I meant when describing the strategy to win duels: (K) to aim, then (J) once an enemy gets up to shoot, and (SPACE) to quickly hide yourself before they have the chance to shoot you!
hypnoticbytes: during the same year you can't get more bullets once you run out of them. You have a limited amount per year -9 bullets-, so if you loose all the bullets you will surrender until the next year comes, when your gun will have again 9 bullets. This is the right amount to kill everyone in a new year if you want -and if you don't fail your shots ;) -. Hope this info helps you!
Thanks for your comments guys! Glad you are liking our little game! :)
Wow! I love the concept, the art, everything! The visual style is very clean and the mood is perfect. Good gameplay and very fun!
Cool graphics and nice game :)
Spilim: sorry, I think I didn't understand what you meant lol We put the controls wrong up there, yes. J to fight K to enter. Thanks for telling us :) I already changed it!
Very cool game. Sound is atmospheric. Very hard to shoot.
My city made it! Nice atmosphere, both graphics and sound.
Awesome game. Got 254 total population and a score of 19400 ^^. Good graphics and a good sense onf humor.
This game has its own style and flavor. Like it. :)
Love the style and mood of the game. The shootings were hard at first but then got too easy by holding space pressed all the time.
Buen trabajo en general.
Visualmente los personajes se salen un poco del fondo, que es fantástico y le da al juego mucha personalidad.
Muy buena la idea de representar en los edificios el progreso de la partida.
such a simple but fascinating storytelling. my favourite so far :)
Nice game, that's some INTENSE gun standoff action there!
Great art and music!
That's a fun game to play. The graphics are fantastic too.
Had to read what I was suppose to be doing after I first lost, but the duels are the funner part for sure.
Love the art style, choice of colours and the subject matter in general.
Pretty, interesting and fun! Great game.
Awesome entry. The graphical style and sounds are excellent, I really like how the backgrounds changed with time. Took me a moment to realize how gunplay worked but on second try it was a blast. Haha. Excellent work for your first entry.
I don't know if it was just random, but on one playthrough I didn't seem to get almost any indians after first two years.
Fantastic game! It took me a few attempts to get the hang of the duels, but now I'm the fastest finger in the West. :P The timing is super-satisfying, especially when you manage to shoot all three in quick succession. I also liked having to balance the factions, keeping a mental note as I played - although I wasn't sure if I should let criminals in or not!
You did a really awesome job with the aesthetics; I love the visual style, and the music really hammered home the Wild West mood. To make a game that's both pretty and fun to play is a big achievement in a game jam, I think! I couldn't help but keep trying until I got a 'perfect' playthrough.
Very well done - this deserves all the praise it gets.
Fantastic entry! The game's simple, takes a little bit to get used to, but ends up being a pretty interesting game. The way the town dynamically changed each was super interesting, and made it so it was required to do multiple playthroughs to see which type of people were causing the changes.
Only complaint is that when you die, it takes ages for all the new people to move in, which adds to the irritation that you've died. In the future, a skip ability would be fantastic. :)
Pretty neat game, even given the repetitive mechanics. I thought losing a sheriff leading to temporary chaos was a clever gameplay choice. The progression of the town behind you as population shifted was also clever. I felt like I wanted to know what the actual distribution was in numerical terms, but I dunno, maybe that would have spoiled the effect.
Graphically: absolutely gorgeous. Nicely done!
Art and atmosphere are really cool. But I really to bad to win at least one duel :( Looks a nice idea by the way!
Very nice graphics and sound. Very impressive for you First Ludum Dare project. Neat. Thank you for your comment about my game ++
Amazing graphics, i love it.
It was hard to understand the battle mechanics, I was almost always dead.
Really nice, i'd like a visual counter or something to show the balance of people in the town.
Very nice art and sounds & music. Theme was nice but game is too tough for my sloppy fingers. I would have liked to have more hitpoints :D... but anyhow, a cool entry. And congraz for finishing your first ludum dare.
Cool idea to make a game playing in the credits!
My biggest complaint is that you can't jump while pressing another key. It'd be fun to explore this concept further - maybe add a gameplay element in which the names are damaged. (e.g. decals of a gun and explosions)
nice, good looking game, great western mood, took me a while to understand the controls. well done
This was nicely done and had a good mood. Great job!
Duels are very hard to manage, but very good game, I liked the mood. :)
Fantástico vuestro trabajo como siempre. La verdad que se ve una gran calidad entre los juegos que se hacen a la luz de cierta luna ;)
Great vector art style! The game is a tad hard with the. One sheriff vs the whole Wild West it seems. Rambo would have had a hard time - LeMix
Great vector arts! The game is a tad hard with the concept of only one sheriff vs the whole Wild Wes. Rambo would have had a hard time. But I did enjoy it. - LeMix
Duelling is pretty hard :(
Nice game, very difficult to master the duels!
Background music and sound effects makes the mood!
Well made!!
Cool idea! I wanted to play more!
Enjoyed the progressive timeline. Loved the background art and music especially.
*bang bang bang* sorry I'm caught in a shootout *bang* don't have many time to tell you how much *bang bang* i've liked your game ! *bang clic* oh oh...
Great entry! The only problem here is that the game could use a bit more variety - I've discovered an ultimate tactic for shootouts and they hardly posed any challenge ever since.
Cool !
That was really cool! I couldn't pass all the years but if I get time I'll try it again. It was really exciting to fear for my life while having to make these hard decisions.
I wonder if you can expand this into a larger commercial game similar in scope to Papers, Please.
