Wild West Hunt by wizzardMaker

Let's go buddy!
You are the operator of this rust- let's call it charming.. train! Get as far as you can without letting the engine fire go out, or the train blowing up, easy peasy. But don't get hit by those pesky track blocks those buggers put up!
Oh and don't get killed by those buggers either. I gave you a nifty revolver to take care of both problems

Controls:
WASD - Movement Mouse - Look Left Mouse Button - Shoot R - Reload E - Interact Left Ctrl - Crouch Left Shift - Sprint
Control the speed of the train, slower and more vulnerable to the enemy, faster and you hurt the engine and burn more fuel, but those enemies can't catch up.
Refuel the engine to keep the fire alive - if the flame goes out (or your train is destroyed, but who cares about that) you lose!
Fuel is in the fuel cart in the back
I had no time to test the balance of anything, please let me know if something is whack! Thanks :=)

It is fun to play, the mechanics are thought out and work together well. Graphics (while simple) are consistent.
I had a really western feel, constantly running to the coal to go high speed so my health can regenerate, only to slow down to shoot bandits and and repair the rust- charming train.
I would absolutely play this as finished polished game. And I would murder for animation, where you throw out empty shells when reloading.
AMAZING :star::star::star::star::star:
To leave some actually critical feedback:
- Train could make audio clue, that health or fuel is about to run out. It is too easy to just concentrate on the bandits.
- Revolver seems to shoot a bit off to the side, but it is hard to say with so many moving parts.
but well done, it is better then mine.
The bad guys seemed so strong and I was surprised to see them suddenly disappear! Would love to see them fall on the ground. or at least let the poor horse survive! 😅
also had a bit of stress while traveling in full speed mode because it was using so much fuel and I had no time to get the fuel the whole time and also paying attention on the road in front of me or any bad guys. the first thing I now do is when starting a new game is to put it on slow, this made it more relaxed.
it was fun to run around and the UI was well done. I did get a bit motion sickness because of the motion blur and I had to turn around all the time. maybe make that an option to be able to turn off.
👍fun game!
I just felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of enimies.
@scintillae-creations - I actually planned to add those warnings, but my sleep deprived brain just forgot. Aiming bug is noted for a next bug fix patch
@jonah - Bad motion blur, bad! The button will be added as soon as possible
@klaus-peter - Didn't have time to balance the game too much, but I agree now, the spawn rate is a bit too fast when stopped. Noted and will be fixed in the next patch
@inka-mcatee - Thanks! Yeah.. I really hate to model anything that lives and breathes... That realization came too late to be avoided though xD
I played for a while so thought I'd post my score! 😁
Really liked the art style, little things like the lighting coming off of the furnace were nice.
Got my brain going about what speed to travel at to manage the resources.
All the models were great too! The train was really cute.
Simple and effective :)
Very well done! Excellent work!
