Wow... just wow, magical and that muzak!, enjoyed the humour as well.

arrogant-gamer 2015-04-21 21:57

This is really worth checking out! It was a little hard to catch the RPS symbols though: it felt like playing a rhythm game without the falling symbols to prompt me. The game felt amazing, though, so it was still fun to study my opponent carefully.

ajopart 2015-04-21 22:09

5 stars. Period

doitforwilson 2015-04-21 22:45

This game is fantastic !!! Will have to truly master it, but I love it !!!

Better than Guitar Hero by far !!!

nevet 2015-04-22 00:01

Love the graphics! love the music! love the animation!

chuigum 2015-04-22 03:05

Really fun, nice graphics and music too. I like how you have to go with the music. Ha my game, Frisbee Training, was set on a train too. :) Great job!

goadrich 2015-04-22 04:26

This is amazing! Perfect match for the theme, the music is integral to the gameplay, the graphics and animations are awesome, I knew intuitively what I should be doing as I played, the difficulty ramped up appropriately at each stage. I want to keep playing this game, will be adding it to my bookmarks!

giordanno92 2015-04-22 06:48

Loved the game! I liked the way the music fits with the cowboys movements! The game is absolutely intuitive.
Loved the idea and the general application.
The art is unquestionable, from the animations until the effect that the sun causes when it reaches the plateaus, and by the way, this west ambientation really attracts me!
Even the tittle is genial! I personally love The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Congratulations again for all the team, you really reached it!
Totaly five stars!

A really fun rhythm game with fantastic graphics and music! I love it!

psychomonster 2015-04-22 10:53

I love the idea. Good work... fantastic artwork :D

bensonance 2015-04-22 13:40

This was amazing! 5 stars everywhere!

Got stuck on the third person, though - saw he was healing, but wasn't sure how to offset it?

colindoody 2015-04-22 14:50

Cool idea, well executed. Love the art style

bizm 2015-04-22 15:33

@Bensonance, try hitting him with 4 papers in a row when he's not healing! :D Remember, his left hand counts too!

ludonaut 2015-04-22 16:14

Wow, I love this. Really enjoyed the music and the whole rhythm. Well done.

s0lll0s 2015-04-22 17:28

Epic music, great art and nice idea. Also very fitting altogether, conveys a great atmosphere.

jmaggard62 2015-04-22 17:48

This was amazing

bror_charlie 2015-04-22 20:01

Fives across the board. Incredible game guys. Good luck!

zak-amana 2015-04-22 20:48

You killed it guys

ithildin 2015-04-22 21:20

Brilliant! You did a great job in all fields, and the rock-paper-scissors fit nicely into the theme. Awesome job!

randoman 2015-04-22 22:21

This is the best entry I've seen so far! Amazing game! The graphics, the music, the mood, everything fits perfectly. Had tons of fun playing it!

newt_ 2015-04-23 00:25

Wow, amazing! And difficult too! Top marks all around.

team-mac 2015-04-23 11:01

Fantastic game! Everything works well together - the art, the music, the game play. I like the way you run across the trains to get to the next opponent. Great job.

josefnpat 2015-04-24 04:32

This game was fantastic in every way! I can not get over how well this was done in every way. Just killer! Great job!

geckoo1337 2015-04-24 06:04

Nice entry. I like this aesthetic. Neat. Thumps up !

triplevisiongames 2015-04-24 08:55

AMazing music and awesome mechanic! Kind of like a mind bending rhythm action puzzle thing. Love it.

mattmirrorfish 2015-04-24 13:23

Really great entry! Awesome graphics, music and mechanic. Great interpretation of the theme. Took me a minute to recognize how I was supposed to play but once I got it I had fun.

straybyte 2015-04-24 17:53

What can i say. Best game ever. Everything is in place.

dkoding 2015-04-24 18:02

Perfect score from me

mouch 2015-04-24 19:20

Oh man, this is the best game I've played yet.
- The gameplay is so funny
- It has sooo nice pixel art and graphical effects.
- The music, characters and environment build a perfect cowboy, wild-west feeling
- The game fits perfectly to the theme

5/5 Awesomeness!!! Do more games! :DDD

dos 2015-04-25 03:21

Soooo cool!

buzzwerd 2015-04-25 06:37

Best LD game I've played so far. Serious props, keep it comin'!

carduus 2015-04-25 10:43

My gosh, you make rock paper scisors a true game, fun and deep, GFX& music are stunning,I love the light scatering shader on the monument valley's rocks, my favourite entry ! Animation are gorgeous.
Awesome, nothing else to say.

pixelstuff 2015-04-25 11:34

Rythm, music, graphics, this is perfect !

01101101 2015-04-25 13:25

Excellent game all around! I was laughing the whole time, music and graphics are really great... Amazing job, congrats!

eott 2015-04-25 14:07

Absolutely amazing. I don't find any flaw with this.

holyblackcat 2015-04-25 14:21

This game is so good! And I completed it! :D

bsevers18 2015-04-25 15:15

Stupid awesome. Great style! so many 5's!

hexagore 2015-04-25 15:41

Outstanding. Fun, engrossing and beautiful. I love the music too.

tselmek 2015-04-25 16:20

Purely gorgeous, the art is amazing, the music and sounds are amazing, it feels really great to play and the theme is fully respected.
A very polished game, congratulations!

jhrrsn 2015-04-25 19:09

This game is the f*cking BOMB! So good! I love the rhythmic nature of the 'combat', and the presentation around the mechanics is super ace. Good job!

markusfisch 2015-04-25 19:25

Wow!!! The music, the sounds, the graphics, the animation - I'm totally stunned. That game is an example of what mood in game means. Really, really, really great! Thanks for doing that game!

generic_ghost 2015-04-25 21:52

WoW! Amazing job! A lot more complex than I expected. Amazing graphics, audio and mood. 5 stars.

dcolgan 2015-04-26 02:14

Truly excellent! Love the music and interesting game concept. 5s all around!

taro 2015-04-26 04:09

Absolutely solid entry. A very fascinating take on the rhythm game genre. Instead of punishing the player for not hitting the keys, I like the fact that it actually helps. The woo was kind of annoying...especially since it heals them.

Pattern recognition was a little hard to do, and I kind of would have liked having practice mode in there. Kind of like Parappa the Rapper, where you can practice a little bit to repeat the song's pattern. Makes the memorization part a lot less strenuous.

hambone88 2015-04-27 01:27

all 5's

amazing.

marinalucio 2015-04-27 07:47

This is amazing! I love how it's not only a rock paper scissors game with a twist, it's also a rhythm game with a twist. Great graphics, great sound...everything is great. The learning curve is really good on this one. Congratulations!

fenix 2015-04-27 20:33

I love it! Fun take on the theme, great graphics and sounds! Great job!

killako 2015-04-27 20:47

Best Game I've played so far... really innovative

ethanwebster 2015-04-27 20:51

Such a great game! Love every aspect of it, absolute pleasure to play.

renatopp 2015-04-27 21:28

Gosh, this was the best entry ever. Ever.

sergi-montaner 2015-04-27 22:02

Wow! My instant favorite, seriosuly.
I love the music, the animations, how some of them "fight" with both hands. The names of the characters, and the rythm mechanic.
Is amazing how something as easy as a copy the pattern game, with the RPS modifier becomes something that cool.
The only thing I would say is that there is a point wher you don't want to memorize so many movements and its almost imposible to play just reacting at what the show you before they "hit".

It would be amazing if your character had also dance moves in the long combos as the enemy has.

teamquadratic 2015-04-27 23:11

Phenomenal job. Loved the graphics!

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-04-28 01:18

Amazing! the art is great, gameplay is great, everything is great. its like a boxing game plus a rhythm game.

sentendo 2015-04-28 09:06

flipping awesome!

jprogman 2015-04-29 04:52

I love the real-time strategy. I hate to compare games with other games, but the whole strategy genre reminds me of a boxing game "Punch Out!!."
I have only got to the big boss and couldn't figure out his pattern. Very good work on the game!

sbot1101 2015-04-29 14:13

outrageously gorgeous gamejam game. I am so bad at it.

decodersmith 2015-04-29 15:14

Wow, great art and great music. Best I've seen yet.

ultraval 2015-04-29 20:16

A-mazing!

squarlboy 2015-04-29 21:40

the game would be great on its own but the music and graphics just put it together to make it perfect.

deepnight 2015-04-29 21:54

This is probably my fav LD entry so far. The art is absolutely perfect: you really put lots of atmosphere in your characters, well done. Each combat is fun & interesting. And the music!! OMG the music. Good job :)

My only (small) comment is about the "hit" feedback, the one when you successfully hit your opponent. It's too heavy and hides the opponent completely for a short duration, making the game very hard to play in pure-reflex mode. You have to learn the pattern and reproduce it from memory, because you can't see the enemy hands while hitting him.

sebasrez 2015-04-29 22:01

My Highest rated entry thus far. Excellente

yakka 2015-04-29 22:02

Five stars everywhere. You won the LD.

sebasrez 2015-04-29 22:02

My Highest rated entry thus far. Excellente

jasonsumm 2015-04-29 22:32

Yeah, wow! Awesome! Really well put together :)

sledknight 2015-04-29 22:40

Very nice! Absolutely love the shadows cast by the sun.

littlephil 2015-04-29 22:48

This is simply amazing ! omg

defacid 2015-04-29 23:04

So awesome. No criticism, everything was done flawlessly. Keep making more games because you guys OBVIOUSLY work well together.

igoramendola 2015-04-30 01:18

:¬O ohhh!!
This entry is a fantastic work! Lovely graphics, music, gameplay, etc...
Congratulations, very well done :))

sublustris 2015-04-30 04:30

5 for GFX!

knivel 2015-04-30 04:45

Amazing entry. Really, really solid. Clever design, beautiful art and music, and overall just an impressive level of polish. Great work!

junber 2015-04-30 05:23

Really cool game. Great art and music and nice concept.

gil_villarreal 2015-04-30 05:35

Unique concept, nicely executed.

boateye 2015-04-30 07:16

Five Star Entry! I can't think of a single bad thing to say aside from the simplicity? and that's reaching. Great work!

tppr2046 2015-04-30 08:07

Great!! All 5 stars!!

leaghorn 2015-04-30 08:42

Really nice. Very well executed in every aspect.

curial 2015-04-30 09:18

This game reminds me lovely memories from Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

Great music, great graphics great gameplay concept. Just wanna see more game :D

embalaje 2015-04-30 09:36

Funny game! Fantastic graphs and original idea.
Very solid, and professional style.
Really a good Job!

dunin 2015-04-30 09:43

first, I was sceptic. Then I discovered that it's a very cool observation/rythm game! congratulations!

arche-san 2015-04-30 10:20

Impressive game. The idea matches perfectly with the theme.
This game reminds me sometimes you can be dyslexic with your keyboard ^_^'

wierd0 2015-04-30 10:48

Great game, love the way you incorporated the western theme! Also, I loved the graphics and the really cool background music. Great job!

rubna 2015-04-30 11:09

amazong!

hadesfury 2015-04-30 14:36

Groovy animation !

sputnik 2015-04-30 15:41

5/5

JFlegle 2015-04-30 16:21

Best game I've played. Good job on art/sound. Love the game play idea.

p4nurge 2015-04-30 17:06

Fantastic! Can't really fault anything about this - I had a blast.

madball 2015-04-30 18:04

Wow, an amazing job you've done! I spent some time just looking at the game and listening to the music, it's so charming! The only thing that felt questionable is being able to attack faster than the opponents.

christinaneofotistou 2015-04-30 18:07

Fantastic work like the last time!!!! <3 Keep raising the bar

thingostudios 2015-04-30 22:59

Very, very cool-- I appreciate the mock-Morricone.

My only wish was that it would be clearer when to fire; at the very least in the beginning of the game.

flummox2d 2015-05-01 08:58

The western setting is just brilliant :) Awesome job!

trasevol_dog 2015-05-01 10:20

Best LD game I played so far !

leafo 2015-05-01 10:33

beautifully done

elpaulo 2015-05-01 13:30

Music is perfect, graphics are perfect, enemies patterns are original, cool gameplay.

Take all my stars !

terraneola 2015-05-01 20:40

Incredible graphics (ah you have even light shafts)! Really like the idea too. This game also looks like finished product. You deserve 5/5. Good job!

adriczero 2015-05-02 11:47

Very talented team. Polished, innovative and fund to play game. I love the music.

pixel-heart 2015-05-02 19:52

Amazing art style and funny idea :D

oadt 2015-05-03 10:45

To make it short: AWESOME! I love the lightning effect of the sum on the stones in the background

wilbefast 2015-05-03 10:53

First 5/5 this LD :) Love the bandit names and the absurdity of playing "gangsta" RPS on top of a moving train :P

robber 2015-05-03 16:12

wow amazing! i didn't imagine the rock-paper-scissors concept could be expanded into such an innovative and polished game, very well done and beautifully executed!

steboots 2015-05-03 19:55

This was just a beautiful piece of gaming. Can't say anything that hasn't already been said over and over. Good work guys.

dos 2015-05-03 20:28

Linux version doesn't have a glowing sun effect :(

chaoslab 2015-05-03 23:54

Awesome well rounded entry. Very delicious! :-)

mike-cullingham 2015-05-04 02:03

Really wonderful game. Took me a while to figure out just how the rhythm worked, but once I did I really got into it.

snicklodocus 2015-05-05 04:33

Incredible game! I loved the whole thing. Only problem I had was figuring out that Rocky's right hand was also supposed to be matched. I loved the rhythm aspect mixed with figuring out the patterns. Fantastic!

mrshoestore 2015-05-05 13:34

I think this looks and sounds great, but I had trouble playing. When I got to Rocky I couldn't get him past two points, and my inputs seemed to be lagging to the actual action. maybe the os/x build would be better for me.

okacat 2015-05-05 16:30

This is superb, so polished, music is fantastic and so are the visuals.

bizm 2015-05-06 01:16

MrShoestore, we're sorry to hear that! Please bear in mind that both of the enemy's hands count toward the duel. Rocky plays 4 rocks in a row, and then regenerates 4 of his points. This means that you have to knock down all 4 of his points before he regenerates. Hope that helps!

mach60kas 2015-05-06 01:26

Fantastic entry - a well thought out rhythm game with an amazing western feel. I absolutely loved the music and lo-fi art style! My only issue is that the bandits seem to stop doing anything sometimes. Great job, keep it up! :)

oddballdave 2015-05-06 14:05

Wow! this is such a polished entry. I found it got really hard fairly quickly, but maybe I'm just being a bit rubbish. Great work. Good stuff.

freaknarf 2015-05-09 10:08

HAHAHAHA super nice :] Super good use of RPS gameplay, super nice graphics and animation :] really great. The music adjustment trick is also nice !
Were you traumatized by alex kid too ? Nice work !

recursor 2015-05-09 14:40

Very well polished and not what I was expecting. Nice job

interface 2015-05-09 14:50

Perfect game for the theme, great mood with the music and the gfx. Lot of fun, great game!

pikkpoiss 2015-05-09 15:12

Oh boy you just killed it with this! I was impressed by the art and music but figured the gameplay would get boring - I was completely wrong! Great job on changing things up and making me learn as I go.

nowandstudios 2015-05-09 16:26

Totally liked it. It's not the most innovative game in the world but the graphics and sound are great and the gameplay it's kinda adictive. Nice work!

arcturusdeluxe 2015-05-09 18:45

This is awesome. Great concept, somehow you made rock paper scissors fun! Amazing presentation too, with great pixel art (nice use of god rays on the sun too) and music. Fantastic game overall.

camilleh 2015-05-10 02:27

Amazing audio and graphics - I just wished I could get further in the game just to hear the music haha. Super fun thanks guys, gj!

tmpxyz 2015-05-10 04:19

lovely! great piece.

sorlok 2015-05-11 03:44

Really solid and fun... I love the "tells", and I love the name of the first bandit. Some of the tricks (the third guy) were hard to figure out, but overall it was fair and fun (and the art was just gorgeous!)

ellian 2015-05-11 22:55

Holy shit how could I miss this. This is awesome.
I was thinking "how can they make Rock Paper Scissor fun it's dumb it's gonna be rand- oh wow nice musi-- oh wow nice art--- OH SHIT IT'S SO FUN"

ruka 2015-05-12 03:47

GREAT GREAT Game, fantastic music.
5 stars

henrybell 2015-05-12 13:20

amazing

frozen-stick 2015-05-12 17:44

Neat game play and awesome graphics.The game has a very interesting music and story is acceptable.It make the lame idea of RPS to an amazing theory!It deserves first place.

Rustam 2017-04-16 09:56

It is imperative that we read blog post very carefully. I am already done it and find that this post is really amazing.
