The online component is cool, I wish I had been able to find other players! Fun game, the graphics and audio are really funny.

Very fun, great game which I honestly wouldn't believe was made in 48 hours without reusing assets so good job working hard! I don't understand what it has to do with the theme however?

similarly, i also wish i could've found other players :' really fun mechanic tho! i would definitely play a more polished version of this often if you ever release one! i was a bit confused about how it worked at the start, but i kind of figured it out after two rounds. the bot was a pretty bad player :)

This was great fun! I've never played a game quite like it, so points for innovation. I particularly liked the animation and the personality you gave the characters.

@taximan981 Thanks! I barely made in time :smile: I didn't have enough time to implement the theme. This project is also a school project for me.

@ty Thanks! I'll work on it a bit more. Bots are last hour idea so I didn't have enough time to test them. Sorry! At least it's better than not being able to play because of low player count. Yeah I should include a tutorial but I'm glad you picked up pretty quickly

An incredible concept! Couldn't find other players as well & the room creation menu was just slightly confusing since you don't know beforehand that you can play with bots. I'd say the aiming mechanic needs some explanation & more visual markers - it isn't completely clear to when exactly can you click, whether you can be late for clicking, etc. In one of the rounds after some shooting & only 1 enemy left I still had two aiming markers - one on the enemy, and one somewhere mid-air, and I wasn't able to shoot into the enemy.

Nevertheless, fun game, good job!

It's incredibly fun, the sound effects are really nice, the clock adds suspense, and the fact that you made it online is pretty amazing. Overall great job, my only idea that could make it better in my opinion is that you have a subtle sort of spidey sense and can tell who might shoot at you, but in turn your aim is worse on that person, but that seems pretty far fetched at least for my skill level.

This is SOO MUCH FUN! I love it! Well done! You definitely found the fun! Perhaps it could use just a little more "juice" and feedback during the planning phase, but it's incredibly satisfying when you pull off a kill!

Ah yes, Killer Bean in the Wild West, probably the most brilliant idea of this season. Not sure what it has to do with the theme, but this game is too fun for me to care

Really good game! The fact that you managed to create a working online game in two days is amazing - I couldn't make one in two weeks :) I really liked the characters, reminded me of Worms a bit. It would've been fun adding a quick-draw element to the second phase I think, what with it being Wild West themed, but otherwise, great entry!

Really fun game, love sfx and character's heads, great job!

wolderado 2021-04-30 16:39

@lisyarus Thanks for the feedback! I'll fix those bugs. And I'll reconsider the aim visuals after the jam

@habibirb @blackopsben Thanks! I'll work on the juice a bit more

@frogman Thanks! Actually I was inspired by the worms while designing the characters :smile: Photon PUN 2 really makes it easier to do room based multiplayer. You can check that out if you're using unity engine

huntrox 2021-04-30 21:40

super fun to play honestly, i also like you characters design unique and funny nice work

It was only me with the bot, and got shot on the spot. Interesting idea, would love to see it further developed!

mynameisnottim 2021-05-02 02:47

Fun game! With a bit more features, this could be a standalone game. Showing player names in the shooting circle would be a nice addition.

gharliquebread 2021-05-02 02:49

I don't remember this episode of Veggie Tales....Seriously, I loooooved this game. I love the multiplayer, the different cowboy mustaches, and how I can finally live out my dreams of wild west shootout glory. I really wish we could see the other players' names, but -- omg I just saw this was a compo! I am blown away. Really great work in creating such a fun game! I'm definitely going to return to this one after the jam :)

wolderado 2021-05-02 16:49

@jakob-willforss @mynameisnottim @gharliquebread Thanks! I plan on working on the game a bit more. I forgot to implement the names to shooting circle stage. Well, these things happen in a game jam :smile:

@huntrox Thanks!

This is an okay little game, and the idea is fun. For me it felt a bit unfinished, but okay I still had fun trying it against the bots.

Nice work and kudos for making a multiplayer game for Ludum! I have always wanted to do that :D
