Pinpoint by Brainless Games

[raw]
made by Brainless Games for LD28 (JAM)
So after spending a day and a half making our original game we decided to change our idea completely, we only managed to get 3 levels done but it seems like a good starting point and we learned some new stuff. Pinpoint is 2D sniper game where you play as a hitman and need to kill certain targets, the difference is you only have one shot to make the kill or else you fail.

Using a Mac, so I wasn't able to try it. Sorry!

Like the briefing screen and the audio. The gameplay could use some work.

This is a fun game with plenty of potential to improve. You may have already had some of these ideas planned out, but I'll mention the thing I would have liked to see anyway.

This game was like a hidden object game but much easier. I would have liked to see many distractions going on in the foreground and background to make the target harder to find. Perhaps could also have targets that only appear for a short period of time every so often.

I liked that you at the very least had some moving targets to add some difficulty. Overall, great job on your game and congratulations on getting partially finished in time!

Controls were solid but the game is very short. I love games like this. Adding multiple traits would help to make it a little more difficult so you can throw innocents that have one but not the other to throw the player off.

Yeah we lost the biggest majority of our time because we changed what we were doing, we do have some ideas for making it harder/long. Thanks for all the advice and suggestion :)

More levels please :)

Nice fit for the theme. Graphics are a bit basic, but the game is put together well, so they don't detract from the gameplay.

Pretty good game, you should add more levels now that the dare is over. I use to love playing flash games like this.

I enjoyed the gameplay, but it certainly could have done with some more variation to make finding the target more difficult, like some other sniper games out there have, but great work in 48 hours. :D

Decent game for a short-notice, last-second idea. Could have done with some polish in the in-game graphics and of course a few more levels. But it was a solid use of the theme and a decent entry!

A decent game despite being so simple. Like others have mentioned, more variability would've definitely added to the experience (enemies trying to snipe you, targets taking cover, more feint targets etc).

Well made. Just add some levels or make it procedural, and it would worth it.

It was fun, and a nice concept, but way too short... You could've done something better with the theme, I mean, snipers normally only get one shot anyway, after that, the people are alerted and scatter.
