Interesting application of the theme.

Hi! I think your link is missing

@foursay the game is embedded on the page, just click the play arrow at the top of the page. For better or worse I committed to trying out the web based build this time around. It was pretty easy but it caused a bunch of UI issues on some screens.

Neat game. I like the use of theme. If you expand on the game I think adding music and sounds would be good. I liked the cover system. It made shootouts more fun. Good job.

Awesome! love the art style and I beat it all the way to steve's place. I don't have any friend available to try ou the multiplayer part, but totdally respect there's a feature here. The AI could optimize more since they kinda don't know how to dodge your buleet by all means, but overall great work!

Fun game! I like the shooting and cover system, they are fairly intuitive to understand once you get the buttons figured out. I love that you went for multiplayer for a jam and I can see where this would be a good time with friends! I also think some sound would really help bring it to life. Fun concept!

Not sure if I'm missing something. I'm not seeing anything to attack or "beat-em/shoot-em up". I just have the 4 hats I can pick up, and the seasons are changing. No audio.

It's looking pretty good tho!

EDIT: NM I found out we need to move off screen to the right lol sorry, maybe needs an arrow indicator. (The hitbox is also visible which seems weird).

Follow Up: Shooting enemies feels really good with how they're hit and bounce back and die. I like the variety of enemies and the overall style, but presentation could be tighter (grey borders seems like a visual bug). The weather changing mechanic + hat buff is an interesting idea. Good job yall!

Cute game ! I got stuck behind the borders after I died once though, but otherwise it ran smoothly!

sofignedova 2022-10-04 05:38

An interesting idea with hats! I like :з

shiro-white 2022-10-04 13:05

It reminds me one of the idea when preparing for "Harvest"!

I was condused at first when i saw only the 4 hats, but after i realised i had to walk to the right i had a really good time.Some music would make the game more interesting, but overall the game is very fun and has an unique artstyle.

Neat little game! I haven't tried out the co-op mode, but in single player I felt the enemies might be a bit too easy to stunlock which made the game less challenging.

I like how they take cover, though, and how you can pick up their weapons once killed!

Nice job!

I enjoyed the graphics quite a bit, excellent use of a limited palette, and your art style was simple but effective.

liii22 2022-10-04 20:16

Really nice game! Just at the beginning of the game, it was a little confusion what to do with hats, and it wasn't obvious where I need to go next. Idea with hats-cool. Also, I didn't see any others game with coop here on Ludum, so extra point for effort!

martina-angelico 2022-10-04 22:02

I liked the game but at first i didnt know where to go or what i had to do with the hats. The art is really cool and the theme is well done but i think some music could add a really good modd.

lejocarry 2022-10-04 22:06

Cute art :D

Feedbacks : - no sound... (sound is MANDATORY) - ennemies look like us - texts are small (windowed HTML5 mode)

lincoln-sin 2022-10-06 08:38

Cute art and nice control scheme. Love that instruction sign. Unsure how the season affects behavior though!

dreamerflow 2022-10-08 07:04

Hey, I do not see the link

ryan-dotsikas 2022-10-09 14:41

Nice job! I really like the idea of having an accelerated time for the year and so the seasons are changing every 10 seconds! So fun! I thought it was cool to be able to pick up other peoples' weapons and then use them against them. I wasn't entirely sure how the changing seasons mattered, as far as I could tell I would get sparkly when the season that it was matched the hat I had on, I think it made me faster perhaps. As others have said, a little bit of music and sfx (just easy royalty-free stuff online) would go a long way to make a great environment. But nice job overall!

Nice small scroller !

kerdelos 2022-10-10 12:00

I was only able to test the game alone but it was nice anyway. Didn't get much what the different hats were changing ? (was I stronger during the right season ?) but I liked being able to pickup different weapons on the ground. Good job !

This game looks amazing! I loved the gameplay, especially the ability to choose a hat dependent on the season to give you a boost, which is a really creative idea. For a cowboy theme, the character drawings with the hat are brilliant! Excellent job! It's amazing!! Thank you for a great time! :D
