I don't undertand

Love it. Really like the sound and the presentation is fantastic. Was a little confused at first, but then it became easier to understand the more I played.

Good job!

I like the idea behind it. There is a nice mood.
However, once you read every sign, you loose the fun.

Neat game, interesting idea and lovely design! Don't know whether a 0 bounty is intended or not, as I got that sometimes.

marod 2016-04-20 10:23

Nice game!

xandy 2016-04-20 10:37

nice concept. the graphics and sound make for a cool western themed mood. once you get the rules it is very fun but the hints/challenges are too few(understandably at a game jam). was a fun short game!

ps: seeing as you made your game in defold, providing more platforms(you just have to bundle them), especially html5 will give you more plays.

I like art and concept. Thank for game!

The game is nice but there is a problem with the reward system. Often the game will offer a reward that is lower than the price you have to pay for your cowboy. I also more than once had 0$ bounties, and no way to turn them down.

great game

lewwwer 2016-04-20 11:23

The shooting screen is really quick, I can't realize what's happening.

kostasvs 2016-04-20 11:40

Pretty fun to play, although you go through all the shapes too fast and the reward system is not balanced. Good job otherwise!

drkr 2016-04-20 11:44

I think it's a bit bugged, I kept getting bounties lower then the cowboy price but I kept winning so I had a debt higher than the USA. Apart from that though it was pretty fun and nice aesthetic.

Kind of confused at to what the game is trying to be.

norseware 2016-04-21 09:02

It was unique and clever! Sometimes I'd pick the right shape, and click in the center, but I'd still die. That was frustrating, but making money was satisfying! The art and sound effects were clean too. Solid entry :)

A nice game, however it gets repetitive pretty fast. Good job nevertheless :)

imperialunit 2016-04-21 09:32

Game has a very nice aesthetic design and the gameplay is easy to pick up. The randomness in the rewards led to some risk vs reward decisions where I could pick the incorrect shape for a higher payoff which I enjoyed. The audio you selected for the game also suited it perfectly.

themadknights 2016-04-21 09:34

Graphics are awesome

the-m 2016-04-21 09:46

Pretty fun game, at least until it starts getting repetitive. There doesn't seem to be a goal nor can you lose, which eventually makes you quit out of boredom.

p4nurge 2016-04-21 09:48

Great visuals, sound and general mood. An interesting mechanic too. I would have liked a much wider variety of clues (and more emphasis on using them to guess the right shape) but I really enjoyed playing. Thanks!

yumeito 2016-04-21 09:48

Nice game :)

robb_blob 2016-04-21 10:15

A lot of games in this theme were made of shapes. But I felt like this one took this approach in a more original way. I love westerns in general and the mood was really well built. Loved the music and the sounds (death laugh more than anything).

apalade 2016-04-21 12:00

Interesting combination of mechanics and good presentation. A fun little game.

My only problem is that progression is meaningless. The better you do (and more money you make) the more expensive everything becomes. I would've added a goal to reach $10,000 or something and scaled the cost/reward differently.

arvydas 2016-04-21 12:43

The game presentation is really nice, the gameplay is confusing at first but when you get it becames too easy in my opinion, good job anyway!

obsessivenotion 2016-04-21 13:03

Was a bit confused on what actually happens

seadads 2016-04-21 13:25

It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but figured it out eventually. Love the shape descriptions!

2016-04-21 16:51

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

igorsouza 2016-04-21 22:30

i love the design, but i'm pretty sure that i didn't get the idea of the game :(

gyfis 2016-04-22 08:24

Overall, nice entry. I like the idea though the random engine could be a bit more thought through.

jin47 2016-04-22 08:55

Very polished game. awesome music and fun gameplay. Good job!

pestelcrew 2016-04-22 10:31

Neat idea, could be worth porting it to mobile after some work.

holyblackcat 2016-04-22 12:36

Funny little game!

pinkindian 2016-04-22 14:30

Great concept and graphics. But I don't see the point in the money earning or the "hiring" costs. They seem irrelevant.

fabraz 2016-04-22 15:07

In dire need of better easing into the gameplay. Interesting idea though.

rock-eaters 2016-05-05 22:36
