Duel in the Desert

Simple but well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the games from the GM48, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/RxB8WIjpWF0

Really nice. Couldn't get past the 5th guy.

I guess you had a precise hitbox ? I missed two or 3 times by clicked right under the arms :(

The third guy is really tough.

I liked the concept, it's a fun mini-game.

You nailed the feeling of a duel. Great idea for the mechanics! My only suggestion is to add some music to it, or ambience sound, to create some suspense.

Nice idea, but I'm not sure the mouse controls were as good as they could've been.

I really like that you have to have your cursor at the bottom before you can draw your weapon. I thought it was a good way to simulate a duesl scenario.

I would suggest maybe making the collison mask on the player a little bigger. If youre off by a few pixels it doesnt register. It might help with gamefeel.

Very nice!

I really like the concept! Unlike many games of the kind, you actually need to "draw" before shooting.

One suggestion would be to punish the player for drawing too soon cause you can basically try to "cheat some time" by going as fast as possible when it's one instead of waiting for the draw.

Although I like the innovation of the mechanic, it's not as fun as it sounds in my honest opinion. (or rather, that's what I felt) It felt awkward to try to aim, especially so precisely, with a mouse. To be more specific, moving the cursor then stopping: you go left, stop in the right place, click your character then go right, hoping to stop at the right place for the enemy. No idea what alternatives there could be though, but that's how I felt about it.

In any case, cool mechanic!

Easy to handle, hard to master. Really nice !

Fun game! Seems like we had similar ideas :)
I didn't get past the third stand-off because I'm playing with the notebook's touchpad :(
I liked the minimalist art =]

Hooking idea! Who doesn't want to be fastest in Wild West, eh?

Maybe we later see a longer game placed in the Wild West and the duels are fought like this.

I love it!

I enjoyed this, a small bit of western gameplay to get me through to Red Dead 2 :)

Really nice pixel graphics and the control scheme was an interesting take. It is fairly punishing but you have to balance precision with speed, just like a duel.
