Short Fuse Saloon by souperstrawer

[raw]
made by souperstrawer for LD 42 (JAM)

Imagine being a cowboy in the Wild West. Imagine stepping into a saloon, having a glass of whiskey and then fighting anyone who dares to look at you. Seems fun?

Now imagine being the barman who has to put up with you and all other idiotic customers. Even better - be the barman in Short Fuse Saloon and try to remain cool and stop your customers from killing each other while every drunk cowboy in the west is trying to squeeze through your doors.

Nice music and atmosphere. Could't figure out how to fill drinks though, only start fights

@simanis Thanks! Oh yea, you need to be holding a tray in your hand, I probably didn't make it very clear :/

The atmosphere in this game is great! I really like that you actually have someone on the piano. This game is quite hard, though -- especially when patrons go upstairs. I tried multiple times and couldn't make it past 2 minutes (according to the game over screen). The fighting animations caught me off-guard and gave me a good laugh.

All the dirty glasses/trays laying around was entertaining. I do wish I could have carried around extra drinks or filled up a tray and set it out on the counter for a quicker 'reload'.

Funny getting everybody in the bar to start fighting, although abit glitchy :)

Once you loose the game you cannot restart/ go to menu without reloading the .exe (Windows)

Great atmosphere

this one was alot of fun especially throwing people through everything and messing with the guy at the piano. its a bit hard to learn at first and i wish there were more objects to interact with but this one was a really good time.

Not being able to hand drinks over the bar was annoying so I started kicking everyone out, I should never own a drinking establishment, I realized I hate serving people. Great sound, funny at times. Good Job!

Once I figured out that I need a plate in the hand to fill up the drink it was quite fun.

Where did you get this nice font (I searched for wild west font but didnt find any free) or did you make the font yourself.

Couldn't totally figure out how to win but was really a cool experience. Graphics are very consistent and look really good. Love the piano man!

Really loved this game. The mood, the graphics and the audio are great. Nice to see that you have paid attention to small details. The gameplay is somewhat mediocre from an user experience perspective: it's rather hard to remember which button to use to do something (and not throw your glasses of beer/whiskey out of your hand :D.
Playing the windows build, the mouse cursor didn't get hidden and was always distracting me in the center. Would also be cool if I could have used the gun on the wall.

Very funny game, loved to throw things and people arround. The only problem i had was at the end screen I coudnt exit the game.

At first i thought I'm the bartender who's mad at the customers and I needed to throw a plate at anyone who comes in.

Then I realized plates are for drinks :P

Lots of fun! The atmosphere is amazing. I really liked the guy playing piano in the corner. The fighting fellas are hilarious!
