Finally completed my first ever game. I did struggle a bit in designing the game but choose to stick with my initial idea of mixing quick draw mechanism of the western genre like the one I used to play in NES and a lit bit of puzzle elements which later became math riddles. I don't what you t would be categorized now.

This is a 2 player game where you have to find the answer to problem/riddle given. The answer to that would give you a numeric value which will be your minimum allowed time to shoot another player in order to win.if you shoot before the right numeric value you lose.

Controls:

Right player - Left Mouse Button

Left Player - SpaceBar

I think the main mechanic doesn't work. Even at time 0, the score goes to opponent when I shoot. I tried before time, on time, after time. I managed to score exactly one time. And I'm good at maths.

Love how it all comes together - even with a fairly simple concept the quality of the drawings, the writing and the music really fit together to create a consistent product. As someone who is terrible at maths and performs poorly under pressure, this game came as a challenge! Really enjoyed it.

Very hard at first, but fits with the theme and with another brain i'm sure it's enjoyable. Good job. Really Love the "Paper style" art and the music.

Nice concept and I love the colored pencil art a lot. However, I am too slow to play this game and I have no one to try playing it with. And I wonder if the man on the left actually have a gun. Well done.

Wish I had someone else to play this with. I really like the art and music in this entry. Congrats on getting your first game done! Not our first finished game, but our first entry into ludum https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer

It's hard to tell who wins, you might want to say which character corresponds to which key, instead of right or left

Interesting mash-up of game types. It was a bit challenging to read longer questions, figure out the solution and then still shoot in time. I would give the player a bit more time to process the question first. Loved the art! Great job!

@Obvious Alien Interactions Really happy that you liked the game.
@Yetman man you spotted that easter egg but I did tried to make gun. I am not that good at drawing, took me a day to complete this artwork.
@Toryf thank you man

I like the graphics, but I wasn't sure, which name goes with which character at first.

Very interesting this game, I really liked this type of art!

Congratulations on the idea and if you allow me, give more im feedback of when to throw yourself should help a lot in the gameplay

The idea was fun, and both the graphics and the mood is good. For me it would have been more interesting if the players, somehow could answer as fast as possible, instead of waiting for a exact time, or perhaps a make puzzles with more then one right answer. Overall a very well made LD game. Well done.
