Pretty funny combination of a shooter and dating sim! The music was perfect and the dialog was on point. A++.
You have that song stuck in my head now! Awesome game dude! The mentor reminded me of Meryl from MGS.
Most of it stuck together pretty well, the music, graphics, gameplay, dialogue etc.
One minor thing I had was I think you should goto the next dialogue box when the player clicks rather than going there once all the text is written on the screen. Impatient people like me would click and it would instantly go away xd
All in all nice job!
Ahaahha what a funny idea :P Great work, thumbs up for the innovation !
What an awesome game! This combination of Visual Novel/Dating Sim and Shooter was also something I was looking to do, but you truly nailed it. The comedy, and dialog were absolutely on point. Great Job!
I also learnt from your code, so that makes it even better :).
Thank you for letting me free the doggo. I also kept clicking the dialogue away but it was still on a timer to be read. I would prefer to click to force a dialogue to finish, then click again to go to the next dialogue. I clicked on the final dialogue and it finished the game before I could read it :'( Very cute though!
The only problem I had with this is that text is too slow to appear and the sound is really annoying. Great entry. And pretty funny as well.
Says there is a Mac build but I don't see it? Would love to give this a try
@Fanttum just uploaded a Mac build to itch, we don't have a test machine so lemme know if there's issues please!
@the-dustin-holmes yep it worked! A little slow paced for me but great writing and nice idea.
Great combo. I never thought a dating sim and a First person shooter could go together but this one was a critical hit.
This was great. I loved the usage of the theme, and the scope of the project was on-point. Nice submission!
lol i'd rate it higher than a 5 in humor if I could- was surprised I enjoyed reading anything in a game this much. Best game writing 2018
feels like something from the newgrounds era 10/10
@benpeterson that maybe the greatest thing anyone has ever said about something i've done! Thanks so much!
Really awesome and well made game!! Nice sniper as well. GG
Awesome theme interpretation. Had fun playing it. :slight_smile:
A little odd but great interpretation of the theme! Love it
Funny dating-FPS game. Nice art-style, liked it a lot. Also the idea was original.
Had a lot of fun! Although now I can't get that tune out of my brain.
Really quite funny, good job
I like your game, can you evaluate mine?
@marcial Thanks for the review. I checked yours out for you. Racer/Trivia! Nice job.
thanks @sheehan
Nice work lads! We also did a very original too, ye mid check it out?

Got some good laughs out of this one. Amusing concept and dialogue and great execution. Nice work!
Great game with funny dialogue, would love to see more of this!
Well... Now I'm going to have to listen to that Bon Jovi song on Spotify for a few hours on loop... 10/10! Seriously though, humor is the strongest point of Shot Thru The Heart. Some of the bits missed but I got a few good laughs playing your game so thanks for that:)
Wow, this game fits the theme very well!
And for humor this is perfect, even though I didn't understand everything at the first read. (as a bad english-speaking/reading person ^^)
This is an entertaining way of telling a story, this game clearly deserve good votes :)
The humor was fun, and the puzzle-like gameplay of determining what to shoot was interesting. The sound for dialogue coming in could have been better; it got annoying quickly for me.
Silly little game! I thought the dialogue was really funny and fit the theme of your game really well. The art looked great and the game was very stable for me! Although in my mad sniper tirade at the end where I was firing off all my last bullets, I incidentally clicked through the last dialogue screen :/
Anyways I feel like you all made a nice little game and should be proud of it!
Creative combination and cute puzzles. Felt like I had to move my mouse a lot to look around but maybe something is off with my sensitivity. Glad you added the option to skip to the end of the dialogue scrolling :)
Loved the humor, played really well. Hard to read some time if i clicked too much. Itchy trigger finger I guess.
We have an unfinished game if you want to check it out. Dino Multiplayer. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/a-title-for-a-game
So that was a pretty funny.
That was cool!
Thanks for the WebGL build! Glad to see more humor in LD games.
That was pretty funny! Great work :smile:
I like the mood of this one! It was fun to play, and I almost get all the good points (did not understand what was the "2008 meme", and missed one shot in the last scene). Well done and good job, I enjoyed playing it! :smiley:
Loved the story, it was quite funny 😄
That was funny. I enjoyed the mild puzzle elements of the game. I only missed one shot when the hipster turned around suddenly, but I caught up with him later during the "waste all your bullets" phase.
I'm glad I got a happy ending. Join to jail would have been such a bummer.
Hahah this was pretty funny. The spotter kept yelling at me for wasting bullets during the "waste your bullets" phase. The mouse tracking was a bit weird for me, even though I went fullscreen mode, too. The music was nice and funky.
Good job! Cool game!
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

The mouse tracking in full screen browser was really slow. I had to scroll a bunch to move anywhere. After shooting at stuff she wanted me to shoot at for awhile the game just abruptly sent me back to the start screen.
