Nice idea but it was a little hard to play because the shot timing is hard to predict (often seems to fall on off-beats) and the white edges are hard to see. Maybe a different colour would be easier to see and/or the crosshair could pulse or something?

Also you should probably mention in the description how to reload, it took me a while to figure it out. (For other players reading this: you click on the "ammo" area in the bottom right.)

Still, I like the idea and the fact you even have a tutorial.

Nice genre mashup! I like the art and sound. Enemies look great (nice animation) and the environment definitely has that wild west feel. I didn't get to see enough of it though because I couldn't reload my gun. Tried mashing buttons and clicking around everywhere but I couldn't figure it out. A bug perhaps? Cool idea!

I think when the enemy appears the camera should stop, or else you can get in the situation, where you can't shoot the enemy (because you don't see him anymore), but he can shoot you. Also, during tutorial section, info about reloading your gun should popup right when you lose all of your ammo. I've managed to lose all of my ammo before even first bottles have appeared, and got stuck for a little bit. Everything else worked fine. Haven't played rail shooters in a while, so i'm glad you made one 🙂

@Balance686 First, Thank you! Second, for reload your gun, click on the bottom right of the screen, ok?
