This is actually really well formed and fleshed out. I liked the story mode, and the extra challenges that you put in to each level. Well done!

Interesting game, well done.

Few thoughts:
* The delay in the tavern is kinda long, I'd prefer to go to next mission faster without waiting for the king. Being able to skip such moments is always good.
* Shooting would be more interesting if the progress on pressing C would go back and forward endlessly, not just to highest and back to lowest.
* Aiming screen could be larger - a lot of screen space isn't used and you have to focus on a very small window which isn't very comfortable for weak eyes.

I like how you added the bonuses to make each level different.

Fun game! The fonts seemed a little off, but that didn't take away from the fun at all, imo.

Interesting and unique game! I will say that there was a lot of waiting, I guess I'm inpatient

Full points for humor. Fun game. The definition of eternity is waiting for your drunken aim to wander back over the target. The crowd fell asleep. ;-)

Fine game ! I liked it, and got the mercifull achievement. :D

Wow, this is awesome for a compo-- a fleshed out story and fun gameplay, along with nicely drawn graphics! I love all the details. I will say the text on some screens gets really hairy especially against your clean pixel details. Full points for humor, and I like the simple but fun music. Overall super fun!

Achievement Unlocked: The Hound. Well executed.. lol. See what I did there :D

Nice entry. I loved playing this. great work

bmacintosh 2015-12-16 08:01

really liked getting to shoot the king at the end :D

Couldn't get it to work. When I first started the game it got stuck in a loop on the "how to play" menu. The second time i tried x and c did nothing on the menu screen :(

Nice! This was great! I liked how the different crimes gave you different targets to aim for on the body. I wasn't very accurate with my shots, though. At the end I was aiming to take out the king, but I accidentally shot the victim right in the head! Oops!

Well done, great entry!

Awesome game! Feels pretty polished and plays nicely

A very novel mechanic makes this enjoyable indeed. Though, small issue, losing focus means I had to restart the game because I couldn't regain it.

cudabear 2015-12-16 18:33

A solid entry! It felt really rewarding to hit the guy where the king asked you to, haha. The aiming felt a bit poor, sometimes I was waiting for several minutes for the aim to line up with where I wanted to fire. But I was usually able to hit the target (or near) when it did. The art gets the job done, but seems a bit sloppy (lots of anti-aliasing on text and assets, while none on other). Audio is nice, particularly loved the king's voice! Well done.

This is really cool and fun! The different missions are silly, I really liked how there was a little moral choice =P Great job!

maxamaden 2015-12-16 20:31

Very fun, unique game! I loved the mechanics and each mission had an interesting backstory! Keep up the good work!

lizandros 2015-12-16 22:01

This game realy made me feel like drunk executioner :) I like its storytelling and critical shots.

draklaw 2015-12-16 23:42

Nice concept, cool game to play, GG !

ryusui 2015-12-17 00:33

Ha, clever. I love the gameplay mechanics, though I wish there was some way to redirect the reticle so I don't have to wait so long for the perfect shot.

(I'll also have to dock a point on "humor" for relying on the old "you did the right thing and everyone suffered for it" twist. ;) )

oye-beto 2015-12-17 04:09

I didn't want to kill the last woman :(
I couldn't find the way to save her.

A little sadistic but fun.

Higher resolution text would be better.

unclechris 2015-12-17 17:07

I found it a fun game - though the waiting on the redicale at times was boring - just wanted to get back to my pint! :) I LOVE the idea, very cool and with it having a story mode (never good enough to get that extra gold) - it really makes it for a lot of fun.

plasmaernst 2015-12-18 00:30

hi!
Cool entry, enjoyed playing this a lot. Interesting mechanic and setting. The hit-feedback was neat. Story with different endings - top nice! The Sound was fitting good.
I liked the grafics overall, some inconsistency with the fonts.

Nice work, congrats!

01010111 2015-12-18 05:01

Oh man! The actual firing is super brutal! The fact that you can aim at different body parts is pretty cool - good work! I just wish that that reticle were more cooperative

This was great! I enjoyed the goofy story and the surprise near the end.

One issue with gameplay was that I never really got a handle on how wind and shot strength worked. Part of this was that I don't know what the max wind speed is, part of it is that I can't actually see where my shots go, just whether they miss or not, so I don't know if I over-adjusted or under-adjusted for wind and shot strength. One game I've seen that has really clear wind indicators is "Ball King" - it uses more arrows to indicate stronger wind without mentioning literal speed at all.

Also, does hitting the "slow" button change direction after? Sometimes I felt like that was happening but I wasn't sure. If not, that could be a good feature to keep the crosshairs from getting stuck in the corner - something like "reverse direction when slow button released".

Anyway, thanks for making this!

I really liked this game! thank you. Nice concept!

gmatsura 2015-12-20 21:58

Fun game, nice mechanics. I like the humor. I wasn't able to figure out what to do on the Bella stage though.

ewchap 2015-12-21 05:53

Fun game. Love the idea and execution...

smirnov48 2015-12-24 01:02

Interesting game. Very mood and humor.

lkpridgeon 2015-12-25 20:09

Interesting game with a nice user interface (once playing). I had to size down the window to be able to read the text as it was overly blury however great job.
