Straight forward, Easy to understand and fun! that's all I would ask from a good jam-game, and your game did just that! this is one of the best games I played so far. really love the idea(s) and the design of each character. game got stuck at miss roxane and had to start over lol but other than that I had fun playing this game, great work!

I had a lot of fun with this! The variety was outstanding, and I enjoyed every minigame. The characters and animations are also very well made, and I wish there was more! I love the idea of everything I kill having a right hand man to avenge their death. It's pretty funny, and it makes me question the relationship between a disco man, and their samurai sidekick, or a school teacher and their dinosaur in command. Absolutely hilarious!

I also recorded a video of myself playing these games if you want some extra feedback. Great game!

This was great fun. I liked the minigame but for me, Bobby Fleetfeet never lost any health in the dance-off. Anyway, I enjoyed the game very much, especially the jousting.

The music is so cool the art to0. I Liked how every boss have his own unique way to defeat you, one in horse one with music etc...

This game is pretty funny and enjoyable, I like that it has a different gameplay per challenger.

Ha, and here I was really expecting a basic cowboy shootout game. I was very pleasantly surprised by the different minigames and the unexpected opponents.

I ran into an issue fighting Rexie where no matter what I tried with the spacebar (or any other key I tried) my character would just stand still and Rexie would lunge at me. So I hit P to bypass the level and it turns out that was the last one, so I got pretty close to a clean victory. :laughing:

The art style on the basic side, but it is consistent, the music added a lot to the vibe of each opponent. The different opponent intro-screens were a great touch. All in all, nice work!

Pretty fun spin on the theme, nicely done.

Music and art was perfet :ok_hand: Horse battle was pretty confusing though when sides switched and i was controlling the enemy i think? But otherwise the humour and mechanics of every battle are amazing.

Good job on the game! Very good art style!.

Love the commitment to the bit. I 'd love the game to be faster in general and less passive during the dance-off.

This is a great game. I love the bosses and little gimmick fights till rex (it was too long). I did not understand how you incorporated jam theme into the game but very nice game.

Cool game with creative minigames, I dont see how it fits the theme though. Overall i had fun :)

laurahur 2022-10-04 17:52

I was not expecting that xD great idea! I particularly enjoyed the 2nd one (not giving out spoilers) There was only a coumple of them that I found nearly impossible so it was nice to have the "P" key to see the game the whole way through. Fair play!

It's a little confusing at times but the variety is great.

Incredibly fun game :) nice minigames.

Very well done, and a funny (punny) take on the theme. Really impressive how much stuff there is, all these characters with graphics and their own music. And a different mini game for each one! I'm not very good at button mashing, so I'm thankful that it was fairly forgiving. I did get dance arrows side by side in every lane once so that I couldn't avoid getting hit, is that a bug or intentional? I guess the only thing I can really criticise a little bit is that the graphics could've been more unified, and that pure red on green (health bar) is quite harsh-looking, but with so many assets I'm still wowed 🤩 Really nice work!!
