Very nice game play mechanics and art, love the voice sampling. Great job.

Hard but fun.

!!! SPOILER !!!


So fun and simple, loved the art!

The ending was 😧
It's a good game, btw. I like the art style :)

Such a cute game! I love the art style and music. It's inspiring to see what you can do with GB Studio!

I wish we had some lives though, so that I didn't have to start from the beginning. But I do get the logic - we're dead, no do-overs ;p

i'm not great with fakeouts, but my trigger finger knows how to twitch.

there should be a cutscene skip option.

there is

I could'nt finish it, my reflexes are trash :') But still cool game, the pixel art is so nice!

still haven't beaten this but i don't mind starting again after a game over because the art is simply gorgeous!! lovely little homebrew

me and my girlfriend played this together and liked it a lot c:

I got it! can't wait for my next ride :)

This is really beautiful! I afraid I don't have the reactions or the patience to get past the 4th one though. I managed it once in maybe seven attempts and pretty predictably died on the 5th one. It's pretty dispiriting to wait through all the animations again after knowing you were too slow when you're sure you shot as quickly as you could. I'll give it a few more tries tomorrow. I want to see that ending!

I am also pretty sure I shot at the right time at the last one but still lost. Maybe it is just buggy.

shoot as soon as the animation changes

It's very possible, the final boss is really fast but I won the last three times I tried.

I got there eventually! It's really hard to get good at duels 4 and 5. This isn't much of a tip but it helped me so it's in rot13:

All the art is superb. I really like Damsel's expression immediately after you outdraw her.
