Very impressive ambition for a game jam! Super fun idea and clever execution. Bit unreliable for aiming but applaud the ambition greatly! Brilliant idea : )

This reminded me of kinect games I used to play. I realized turning my wrist could make the pistol go brrrr. Great game!
Nice idea! Pretty fun and unexpected!
Good idea, unexpected for a game jam but very cool!
wow super impressive! It worked on firefox btw.
Not really feeling the theme but this is an excellent concept! Love the audio, the music and callouts were great. The tracking was a bit finicky but it was pretty fun once I got the hang of it - had to move a bit further away from the camera and also let my brain adjust to the sort of rotated nature of the aiming. Would be awesome to see a full rail shooter type of game with this system. My best score was 24.66. Great work!
incredible idea and execution! i haven't seen something like this since the EyeToy on PS2 (and believe me, it was my favorite activity at this time)!
it is a really good exercice for the brain to do the movements in mirror. audio is fun too, i liked the voices.
just not a fan of killing poor and innocent birbs :angry: hahaha
Really cool game!! I love the use of the webcam :)
Oh wow, this was so freaking unique!!!! It hurt my wrist because I had to stretch my thumb back so far sometimes, but that was 100% my fault for using a laptop *on my lap* lol. This was super fun and I loved playing it, plus it was so fun to show it off!
This was good fun! Reminds me of the playstation eyetoy games I played on the PS2, but more advanced! Very fun little game, and you really nailed it with the voiceover and music - it all suited very well! Managed to get the 3S++ score which I was pretty happy with - sitting back from the webcam helped!
Only minor thing is that I think it was a bit unclear whether or not you were reloaded (or maybe that's just it wasn't detecting my thumb trigger - unsure)
Nice Entry! :D
Wow, that was... something else! Great job!
That was the most interesting and unexpected thing I've played all jam (:clap:)! I grabbed my little siblings and we came over to try a handful of rounds -- and I've gotta say, even though it was lagging like crazy on our laptop, it was *suuuuuper* duper fun to play through, and it's ended up there with my favorites this time around! I loved the voice acting, each of the lines for your ending grade made me laugh, and it really nails the arcade game feeling to a tee!
I wish I had a way to play it without lag, but the computer I've been using for all the other games doesn't have a webcam, so I think this is the best I can do (:upside_down:). Fantastic job, I thoroughly loved every bit of it! Congratulations! :beers:
I think I would have had a lot more fun if this was a downloadable instead of a browser-based game. At first I couldn't play because it wasn't picking up my webcam's fingers though I was able to see myself so the webcam itself was working. Then it I guess loaded the Google stuff or figured out my hand shape or whatever and it got really laggy, really quickly. The select options box didn't help despite being on both Windows and Chrome :(
I loved the music and audio, though. And all in all, with the later fast skin birds being randomly shot at because I couldn't aim properly with the lag, I'm pretty happy with rank B. I'm glad I'll always "B" appreciated, lol! I'd try for a better rank, but I think that's the best I'm getting with the lag.
Any game where I get to see my beautiful face and be part of the game gets a 5 stars in graphics from me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: It really reminded me overall of the Nintendo 3DS evil face shooting AR game, but somehow it's more fun to do finger guns than it is to spin wildly around in a circle trying not to break furniture, lol. I'd replay this quite a bit if it weren't so laggy.
Edit: Despite the description, I decided to try it on Firefox. First on private then on regular. Doesn't work on private Firefox, but it does work on regular Firefox & has way better performance than on Chrome. I was able to get 3:star:S++ on a score that was something like 26.85 or 28.65 or something, forgot the exact number and there's no 'high scores' function that I could see. Had way more fun and tried to get a better score, but I couldn't do better than 3:star:S+ after that.
My main complaint after experiencing it without lag is that the practice balloons keep spawning right as I try to shoot "Start", and it's always directly in the pathway I'm trying to shoot Start from. Makes subsequent runs a lot harder when I can't even shoot "start" lol! It also takes a long time to recognize my hand in the beginning (or load the Google API, whichever is the case), which is a little annoying but not so bad.
This was such a cool concept!!!
I didn't expect to have that much fun. Loved the gameplay :D
