intelligent, brilliant, funny, the visual is beautiful, the sound is beautiful, the font is beautiful, and the rat got drank!!!!! this game is amazing! 5/5 for sure

dogrady 2020-10-06 11:47

Very clever idea, loved it! Reminded me a lot of the Leisure Suit Larry series.

edomiyamoto 2020-10-06 11:48

Yay I just finished it ! Very cool mechanics. Figuring out what to do is really cool, animations are well done too !

kira-yoshida 2020-10-06 12:02

Not a bad game at all, trying to figure out how to save him is the best part, well done and good luck to you!

darkroasted 2020-10-06 12:03

That was a fun little game. Short but entertaining. I love these kind of games, reminded me of the grow island series.

thejohnyfeed 2020-10-06 12:13

A very interesting idea and a very cool game. Animations, graphics and music are awesome!

rakowu 2020-10-06 12:13

nice. Was really funny to get the right order. :D

fluffygamedev 2020-10-06 12:20

Good job! I enjoyed trying over and over, gradually getting a better understanding of what to do. The graphics & music were nice too. My only tiny nitpick would be that some sfx were not always in sync (but that really isn't much of a problem ;)).

vrarr 2020-10-06 12:22

Very nice game! Well done! Beautiful art, and good choice of music! A well executed and clever idea that perfectly fits the theme!

frances 2020-10-06 12:40

I really liked it! It took me a while to finish the game because I was having trouble getting the order of clicks right but I enjoyed the puzzles. The music really fit well, too.

cargamoni 2020-10-06 14:55

I love puzzles !

elpadlos 2020-10-06 15:27

Good idea and game. I really liked the art! Had a nice time. Thanks.

walkingtall85 2020-10-06 16:03

Nice one, liked the callback to the old point and click adventures, nice humor not too easy not too hard. Well done!

panoramix360 2020-10-06 18:08

Really liked the graphics and humor of the game! The interpretation of the Stuck in a Loop was funny! Thanks!

future-labs-unlimited 2020-10-06 20:47

This one is a clear 5/5 in the theme category! :D And not just in that category, it's really well done and very fun to solve.

avavt 2020-10-07 09:54

Wow this is one really nice game! I love it! It's well thoughtout, well executed, and humorous to boot.

The only one complain I have is that it's only 1 level. I hope you can give a few more level like how Bill get caught again at that 2nd bank and all that, maybe after the jam? :D

arzi 2020-10-07 10:08

I loved it! Nice and challenging but not hard.

I found a way to get stuck though, if the crow flies away with the hat, there's no game over even when the time runs out.

rwiris 2020-10-07 10:47

hahaha nice

tom-a 2020-10-07 11:10

Great idea for a game. Very unique mini game. Graphics and humour spot on!

benslaney 2020-10-07 12:58

Enjoyable wee puzzle game, well done!

edgeboyo 2020-10-07 13:00

Such a fun concept. Only wish Bill got stuck in a loop more than once!

thundersalt 2020-10-07 13:03

A really cute game for sure, it was fun figuring out the correct order through trial and error. Good work!

aviv871 2020-10-07 13:04

Great entry! Fun puzzle game, with very nice graphics. A restart button could be nice, in the case the crow take the hat for example.

kilian-baptendier 2020-10-07 13:11

Wow this is hard to find faults in this game... Amazing graphics, strong humor, good concept, right on the theme. I feel like this is an example of what a good point & click should look like.

milestone-games 2020-10-07 13:14

What an amazing game! I especially like your pixel art style!

convg 2020-10-07 13:40

Cool game! Very original idea. Perfectly polished. I liked the graphics too :)

savvy-community 2020-10-07 13:41

What a clever way to use the theme, good writing also, adds a lot to the whole concept. The level of difficulty is rightly balanced and kept me looking for the right way to save this poor boi. Congrats!!

vv

crazybot 2020-10-07 13:45

What a dark take on the theme lol

It took me a while to figure out that you could drop his hat but once I had that it was smooth sailing!

I really, really liked the art. There's only one setting/environment but it's so well done I can't really say anything bad about it!

It was really fun, the only negative thing I could probably say is that it felt very short.. but for the rest a game with great art, fun puzzles and good audio!

tamail 2020-10-07 13:48

Such a great entry! I'm glad you didn't kill the game with tons of text. It had the right amount of clickable stuff and smart and funny twists. Nice one!

avatargreggles 2020-10-07 18:24

Amazzzzzzzzing job!! This was super enjoyable and I loved the whole vibe of the game. I love a good puzzle!!!

remzo 2020-10-08 11:10

Nice one! Was a lot of fun to figure out the pieces and put it together. A good amount of clickables too. Solid entry!

owlycode 2020-10-08 11:14

Loved it, the mood and humor are good. At first you're lost but then the pieces start to assemble and it becomes very clear.

p-r 2020-10-08 11:20

I love this style of games, wish they would do it more often

dxk2294 2020-10-08 11:40

This was really clever! Great mood, funny interactions, wonderful art, fantastic job! :smiley:

hadi-danial 2020-10-08 12:00

Haha that was fun, the different events that lead to his death took a bit to learn how to avoid, really enjoyed it!

bomdiajj 2020-10-08 12:03

No one is going to talk about the clear refence The Ballad of Buster Scruggs?? Seriosly? Very good game, loved it.

benjamin 2020-10-08 12:07

I had a good time solving it, the animation were very clean, and your music choice really add a lot to the mood.

m0dsat 2020-10-08 13:58

Lovely little puzzle. The music and art were perfect. Thanks for the game!

flawed 2020-10-08 14:31

figuring things out was really fun :) the overall vibe is really nice too.

aemiliu5 2020-10-08 17:40

Absolutely fun and well-made! Loved the interpretation of the theme and coming up with the solution was really satisfying! Keep up the good work!

idan-rooze 2020-10-08 18:05

Loved it! Also I loved the Bill Murray reference. I thought the game was well made and enjoyed the puzzle thoroughly! Congratulations on this very polished, funny little game. Good luck!

spyranteros 2020-10-08 19:34

One of the best games so far for me! Definitely the best at humor category!

patrickrmc 2020-10-08 20:16

A funny game you got there!

creamybacon2 2020-10-09 02:42

That was a lot of fun, and made me a bit nostalgic for old point and click adventure games. The feel is great and, the puzzle doesn't lean on moon logic so it is actually possible to figure out what you have to do. So you are not brute forcing it to solve it like many other point and clicks. I do fill you missed a chance to add in a ground hog for mister Bill Mrr, but I'm not that picky. Good Job!

kodepo 2020-10-09 08:37

Really nice execution of the theme. Narrative of the game was great. Good work!

adil 2020-10-09 09:38

Wow, this quest is so classic, I absolutely like this, but actually there is no innovation in this game. Yes, I love everything about it: music, textures, concept, idea, plot. I think it would be cool if you port it to mobiles

manusaiz 2020-10-10 00:07

Pretty hilarious entry, I like how the puzzles made narrative sense in the line of the tone of the game.

I enjoyed it. Great job!

capital-ex 2020-10-10 00:16

I haven't played one of these point-and-click puzzle solvers in quite a while. Really enjoyed the graphics!

garys 2020-10-10 01:04

Oh man, I _love_ this... I really can't fault it... the pixel art is beautiful, there's loads of good humour in there, the puzzle is solid and intuitive, and there's plenty of moments where something unexpected made me smile with delight. I just wish it was the opening puzzle for a full length point and click adventure game.

fabula-rasa 2020-10-10 01:12

I saved Bill, but he never learns, does he :wink:

You may not believe it but this idea (of a cowboy stuck in a noose) was the first one that my husband suggested when we were brainstorming after the theme reveal. But we had no good concept of where to go with it. But you, beautiful people, you did it! And it's glorious.

Puzzle was nicely designed and the solution not immediately apparent. I liked that. To make it all possible, however, our Bill would need some telekinetic powers! Maybe he has some? That would make his bank robbing lifestyle certainly easier. Or maybe... am I, the player, a hand of god? Or Bill's etheric guardian! That must be it :grin:

Graphics is very nice and so is the music. Generally the whole mood of the game is quite great. This is a little gem and I'm glad I found it.

technogoth 2020-10-10 01:20

A fun point and click puzzle. Remind me of some old flashgames.

somogy 2020-10-10 01:45

What an incredible game! I loved it, great job

lyrcaxis 2020-10-10 22:38

Nice game! Finding that the 3 letter word that is wearable and can be used to warm someone up or keep someone cool in the summer was interactable took me some time, but I ended up getting the hint from Pulni and solving the puzzle.

Great job! This was fun :)

virimine 2020-10-10 22:44

Fun point n click game~! Very interesting puzzles and graphics fit the atmosphere nicely!! I rly enjoyed trying to figure out the correct order for the events~! Had a good time playing this game :smiley: Good job guys!!

badpiggy 2020-10-11 10:13

It was a really fun puzzle. Trying to get the right sequence of clicks was cool and I was definitely stuck in a loop. There isn't too much wrong with it and it's really cool for something made in only a few days. Still, I wish there was some indicator to let me know when I would be allowed to click again since only one event can happen at a time and it can be annoying to be clicking and have nothing happen. Great game none the less and a rather funny one at that XD

trexxak 2020-10-13 23:31

YESS! FINALLY GOT IT!!

^ the gameplay moment you wanted me to experience, and it felt amazing when it suddenly all clicked. Speaking of clicking, presentation wise, there wasn't a single thing I could say would stick out in a bad way, you created a very harmonic experience all around (not so much for Bill, of course...)

Very fun short brain-restarter! Thank you for creating this!

honey 2020-10-15 18:34

Oh, THE HAT! I didn't realize I can click the hat! Maybe some highlighting of stuff you can click on when mouse is over would've helped me. I noticed that the text is changing, but somehow didn't pay enough attention to it so I thought that the hat and the guy are one object. Apart from that, I had an awesome time, the game is clever and funny and the art is great and also you picked awesome music so the spaghetti western mood is really strong! Great entry, congratulations!

vphyre 2020-10-19 19:19

Your game is fun. I really liked the graphics and especially the sound (old west is always good). The mechanics of finding the right order of clicks is quite exciting. Although I was not able to save the poor character hahaha. Good job.

tetha 2020-10-21 17:17

that was a really fun puzzler. at times, it was a bir hard to see what was interacteable, but besides that, very nice.

hippolytea 2020-10-21 17:34

That was a pretty fun one! Nice job guys.

ddrkirbyisq 2020-10-21 18:01

Great job, this was a fun one for sure!

wizard-sino 2020-10-21 18:53

very fun! I liked it a lot, and the graphics are great!

island-jam-2-group-3 2020-10-21 19:00

Awesome atmosphere and gameplay! If I would complain about something it would be about the readability of the texts. Other than that awesome entry! ;-)

karenfarah 2020-10-21 21:22

Lovely puzzle and idea! I was beginning to question my sanity and then I made it! Nice job guys
