looks great
i was so close to get that 3rd gun
but they literlly came to gangbang me,lol
very cool game
Thanks for creating this game :)
The mouse lose focus because it can go on a second screen and that's deadly against the bank guys.
When you kill a bank dude and you get tped to the market you should destroy the bank guy parts because I had a market with bank guys corpses.
Two bits of feedback:
- It would be nice to have some kind of feedback for damaging the tax agents. A depleting health bar, making them flash red, or something to let me know that my shots are connecting.
- This only applies to people with multiple monitors, but since the cursor is not locked, you can accidentally move the cursor to another monitor, try to click to shoot, but now the game is no longer the active window and you probably end up losing. This issue is understandable though; it is probably hard to catch if you only have one monitor.
Aside from that feedback, pretty fun game! I like how frantic it is. The music was sort of simple but honestly it was very fitting and quite a bop! Title screen with the camera around Grandma Betty was a nice touch too. Well done!
