Like others I liked the graphics, the rotating guns specificaly made me laugh. I would be cool if the rotation speed of the guns increased as your bounty increased!

Nice simplea addictive game, the hat falling of and the tumbleweed were nice touches to it and the music & sounds suits it well.

Nice graphics, nice voice acting and nice concept. I feel like the only thing holding it back is that you have no control over someone shooting you, so you can't really build up your value that high before they get a lucky shot.

A simple and very effective way to have fun.

Easy to understand: Check

Satisfying game mechanic: Check

Easy on the eyes: Check

Establishes a mood: Check

Developer's voice in game: Check

Can shoot off peoples' hats: Check

Tumbleweed quota reached in a Western themed game: Check

I can't think of anything to nitpick about this one. Even if there isn't terribly much going on the bottom line is that it's fun.

Well done!

You are going to make me rich! Oh God how much I love those voices. It made me laugh. Quite frustrating when you hit the mouse and it won't fire... Nice music and sounds. My game "Billy The Man" is based on the same concept/idea if you'd like to check it out...

Love the music and the fact that you can shoot off hats, it's a nice touch !
I wish there was a crouch button.

The funniest game I have played yet. At first I thought it would be boring and too simple but as I played, I realized that it was both challenging and entertaining!
Also the sound effects suit the game perfectly.

This game made me laugh out loud in a few parts. I love the effect that you can shoot someone's hat off and they comment on it. The voice work and music were great.

It got pretty tense for me after missing a few shots and then having my rival shoot my hat off. Simple game with a lot of replay value. I really enjoyed it!

I saw this on twitch.tv/mrjoshuamclean and had to give it a go. The spinning gun is a really cool idea and the game is a lot of fun. The addition of the jump works really well too as it means you're not at the complete mercy of the enemy's random aim. The graphics are simple but good and the sound is really great - love the intro speech by each enemy. The gun spinning faster adds a nice challenge too. My highest score was 120,000.

You could definitely add to this if you wanted to flesh it out more, maybe an upgrade system (including one that displays your reload timer would be great). Also, maybe reduce the cash to smaller amounts or add a comma separator for readability. I don't think this really used the theme effectively but it's one of my favourite to play so far.

@kodiqi Thanks for playing and watching! Solid feedback, I think the reload timer's a great idea. Maybe the best gun could be a six shooter that you can fire rapidly for six shots before reloading or something. Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice! Kept it simple for your first Ludum Dare and executed your idea very well. :) Love the western music and the literal 'gunslinger' mechanic. Following!
