It's a good game in overall. It lacks few things to me but those aren't necessary for the game to be funny. My suggestions are: better feedback what's the cooldown for a dash. The last level was the best obviously I died 2 time due to explosives (nice one). Good audio and SFX. Pleasant graphics. Good job :)
Great game. Loved the audio. Managed to win once I figured out I could push the stacked boxes to block the shots.
Very cool game. Love the physics based obstacles/bullet covers
Great job, really like the concept of a sheriff tackling people to capture them.
Great audio, very good models and animation! I wish there were a few more levels to play, maybe some with more focused zig-zagging while avoiding bullets. I had lots of fun with this one!
The game did not work in Firefox for some reason. Tried Chromium and it was fine. The voice over is amazing and the music is very fitting. The holes don't really make sens in the setting, but i could not think of something better to replace them. ~Ugghmaster from @WeAreDev
Very nice game and I really like 3D but top-down feel of it. Cool down timer for the dash would have been nice but still managed to play trough all the levels!
@ugghmaster it's a bottomless pit, obviously! ;-)
fun game to play, liked the main menu design and good use of the theme
Awesome western sound design. I laughed out loud at the wilhelm sream XD. I really liked this interpretation of the theme, but would have liked a more refined better executed version of the idea. But overall i'm always impressed at what people manage o create in this short amount of time! Congratulations and good Luck!
@johannimations so glad someone caught the Wilhelm scream reference!
great!!
I enjoyed playing this one! Unique take on the theme. Thanks for the game :)
This game is super fun, I wish there were more levels! The music is awesome and I love the voice lines.
really fun! i was sad when i beat it, i wanted to keep playing! loved the audio!
I liked the barrel explosions! really fun game overall, wish there was more!
I love your take on the theme and the Audio, it's fun and I think you have a great base to built upon !
The soundtrack is great! We would like the game to last longer because it is fun!
Nice game congratz! The idea was really nice! :smile: Would like for it to have more stealth like having to remain unseen or you would die. But it was great anyway :wink: Keep up the nice work! :smile:
Great game!!! Loved the background commentary and the music! Also the explosion effect was really nice and the portal part is really nice.
Short, but fun! The graphics and art looked their part and felt cohesive. Soundtrack and sfx were nice and fit the general theme very well. Controls worked fine and felt very responsive. Nothing to complain on that front :)
I was surprised at the attention of detail. I liked how the environment was part of the game (like the bottles bursting etc) The moving hole felt a little out of place, but I guess that's video game logic for you ;)
The only thing I would criticize is the amount of content. The game play mechanics were fleshed out to an extent, where I would've loved to play some more levels with more difficult obstacles. Maybe more than one enemy to dodge the bullets from.
I'm very delighted. Awesome entry
enjoyable game.. love the wild west theme, include the audio and environments. good job on this game :thumbsup:
Interesting idea and good execution. At first I thought that you forgot to mention that the player can aim and shoot with the mouse, but you can't haha. Maybe you can add some ui about the dash cooldown.
Really cool idea and good use of the theme. Strangely I got nor sound nor music :(
An impressively polished game (extra points for volume sliders) and a creative take on the theme :) Good job!
@tatawanda Oh no! Which version did you play? If browser, which browser did you use? There should be lots of sound and music!
Good game! I couldn't stop untill the end. The music is a little bit repetitive if you lose fast and start again. But is very enjoyable! :thumbsup:
Very well done! This was a really fun game to play.
I wish it was longer :smile: Keep at it
P.S. I loved the Wilhelm Scream in there
Fun little game, maybe adding some non-lethal weapons for the player like a net or something. The hole dynamic mechanic is really interesting. How did you implement it, are you editing the mesh on the fly?
Fantastic presentation, fun, and actually quite funny. It's perfect how the hats fall off and bottles get broken.
Incredible work. Fun! Easy to pick up and play! Pretty! Sounds great (and solid jokes)!
A+
Really fun to play, very natural on a controller and the art style worked well. The sounds and music were really great too! Obviously a few more levels would be great but in a game jam thats not always possible. Good job!
Good game, the last level was a bit tricky, and it often felt a bit unfair as I couldn't pass the invisible wall or I couldn't activate the dash, so that could be improved a bit. But good job!
Thanks everyone for the comments! Hope you had a good jam!
Great music and art, nice concept and gameplay was sweet. the big hole thing didn't really fit the game. Voice acting was funny, great job!
Cool game, fun to play. The audio and sounds are really great! The mood is definitely set with those voice lines.
A bit hard IMO, but I guess that's the point. You get once chance, or you're gone. :see_no_evil:
Great! Good Luck to your entry! :)
I loved it and would have liked to play more! I really like how you can use the different elements of the environment to hide and progress through the level. The dash felt awesome. Probably would be fun to fight against more bandits at once. Also, the hole felt a bit out of place but the idea of adding some pressure was good. Well done!
Cool idea! I really like dashing to avoid gun shot. I wish there were several more levels.
Nice game. I really liked the western music and the voice, well done!
The rest of the game is nice, feels complete and functional, but at the same time the whole setting felt a bit unfair towards the player character. The moving hole was a strange idea (and I understand that it was easy to make), but I'd probably go for something else (e.g. a goat running around) to better fit into the theme.
Great game! I enjoyed it. On my first try I tried to hide behind the barrel, didn't know that it could explode and I chuckled.
Great game! For me thera one bad point: I want to have a visual mark of availability to dash. Anouth talking bout bad things! You made a great game, and I want to see extended version!
Cool game, did not really see the point of the hole. Seemed not to really fit with the rest of the game.
Really good SFX and Music. Really enjoy that you implemented Voice Acting!
The music is just amazing ! The game is very fun, i'd like so much to have more levels. I didn't find the hole very usefull, and maybe it could be nice to see the cooldown. The dash is very feel good. Good job all the team!
I love this entry! You can have my fives :)
As for constructive feedback, I'd like some progressive difficulty :P The overall gameplay was fun, so I didn't mind that, but the game lasted about 1 minute. The hole kinda looks random as well. It didn't add anything to the difficulty but I dropped there just for fun :P (It was fun indeed ^^)
The amount of levels was pretty good if you added, say, 2 enemies starting from level 3, and possibly 3 on level 4.
This was very fun to play and interesting use of the theme! The only thing that seemed a bit off is the hole mechanic... even though its a nice add on for increasing the difficulty.. it would be nicer if it was more consistent with the game theme... Good job! :D
Very fun game! I love how polished it is and the controls feel nice.
Really nice game, love the music! Graphics and sound all are very coherent and well polished. And satisfying escalation of difficulty - took me 5 or 6 attempts on the last level. Great concept as well, not played anything like it, really good interpretation of the theme! I've enjoyed this one a lot.
That other cowboy sure is one trigger happy fellow!
Jokes aside, what a solid game! Nice voice acting, player controller, aesthetics, sound effects and music. Everything feels really solid!
Last level felt suuuuuper difficult but I finally figured out how to beat it!

Cool game ! The concept is pretty original, the atmosphere is well done. The pit that moves around is a great game mechanic, and it made the last level really fun. I think it could have been nice to use it more in the first levels (I barely noticed it at first). Well done :)
Good job! I like the audio a lot, I like the moving hole actually, although it isn't very challenging. Also the enemies weren't very challenging but that doesn't matter, I got 'em all :D Points up for the birds! :bird:
Awesome game! Very fun to play. I really liked the music and soundFX. Pit gave extra challenge to the game. Running with bare hands through bullets is a very good idea :smile_cat: . Congrats...!!!
Only a few levels but I loved the voice acting, and the really clever hole mechanic!
Just played your game and this has been one of my favorite takes on the theme - it's really unique! A great twist on a classic western trope too!
It's obvious you guys put a lot of care into this game - it was especially cool to hear different sound effects depending on what the bullets hit.
A couple quick suggestions for you if you decided to continue developing this:
1) It would be nice to have a visible cooldown for the dodge-roll. It was a fun approach technique, but I was always a little hesitant to use it because I wasn't sure if I had it.
2) Though i loved the sound effects, I might recommend adding a sound effect to telegraph a bullet is coming. Maybe a quick gun-click before he shoots so you know it's coming!
Overall a great entry guys! I loved the VO too! I hope you're proud of your submission, it's excellent.
I really enjoyed this game! Especially loved the music, and the quick-paced movements! The exploding cans were a fun twist that caught me off guard. It felt maybe a little unfair with the dashing speed, but that didn't get in the way too much. Definitely wish there were more levels!
So here we have another western game on this so called "game jam"... And I got to say, what a cool and great surprise, fellas. What an amazing music this Alex did. In fact hope we can collaborate someday, and I play my good ol' Banjo. Art were very pretty and the game overall is very fun to play. Honored to be by your side, fellas, representing the good ol' western days.
Really great job! I really liked the gameplay, graphics and sound. Also, the voice acting in the background further immerses you in the atmosphere of the game. I love it!
Great game: good graphics, great sound and really interesting gameplay. Bad - not enough levels)) Really cool game dudes.
Really nice game with solid audio, graphics and controls. Definitely left me wanting to play more levels. A cool down feedback for the dash would have been nice, but would probably only be needed for further levels as the difficultly ramped up. Well done!
Funny game. I enjoyed the off-screen comments very much and the wild wild west music was pleasant. Very nice atmosphere overall. I liked the interactions with the environment.
Funnily, some outlaws kept walking once I already tackled them to the ground ;).
Nice job! But I'm horrible at video games, and couldn't get past the second level.
really fun game. Sadly it's a bit short and I am not sure how the theme fits in it.
@lairinlair Thanks! Hit me up (contact form on my website via my profile) and maybe that can happen in the future. I don't play any guitar-like instruments, so it's always nice to know someone who does.
@feingehacktes Normally in this circumstance (in this world), it would be okay if the outlaw died during capture (probably a shootout), and you'd still receive the reward or whatever for capturing them. In this game, you're not allowed to kill the outlaw, so you aren't given a gun. Gotta get him alive.
Really great game, works well, fun to play and great idea! I won! :D
Really nice twist on the idea. Great graphics and overall aesthetic, and it was fun to play!
I found it pretty easy to get through, so would be interested to see how you'd expand it with further levels and keep it challenging without it becoming repetitive. Perhaps introducing other obstacles/peril (like the holes) or different player mechanics (e.g. moveable objects)?
Very good idea. Well in the theme and very polished for a Jam. Congratulation to the team. The game play is really fun. It's a solid base and it would be nice to have more levels and more features.
Great game! Tightly executed! I loved the western theme with the surrealist touch of the black hole in the ground. Really well done! Great sound choice, and interesting animations with the explosions and the boxes falling into the abyss. If I were to nit pick, the movement felt a bit erratic, sometimes it'll dash sometimes it doesn't a bit. I had lots of fun playing this, would love to see more levels and puzzles for this! Great work! - J
Really fun game! Good twist on the theme, thought it would of been nice if you could have incorporated it in other ways as well. Excellent graphics art and play, definitely something you could expand on. Great little Game! - S
Hey, the graphics are nice and good idea for the gameplay. However the game could be more polished, for example with a loading screen between levels :) adding more animations, etc.. But it's a good product for a gamejam, well done.
