Boltless by SometimesGhost

[raw]
made by SometimesGhost for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

To fit the theme of "start with nothing," Boltless is a top down shooter in which you're a cowboy with a crossbow, and you start with no crossbow bolts. Fortunately, your enemies have plenty for you to pick up and fire back. Careful, though: you can only have one bolt loaded at a time.

That was fun! Love the crazy looking Cactus boss. Definitely some cool ideas to progress with. I was a little sad that I couldn't make the enemies kill each other by dodging their arrows and having them hit each other :).

Fun! Not very polished, but I don't really think that was the goal. The mechanics are well executed and interesting. Nice job!!!

I had fun playing the game. I start making some strategies like waiting for the enemies to fire some arrows to the top wall so I had some ammo to use. Really nice great job.

Good little game. Frustrating that you can only pick up one arrow with so many enemies against you. But still a good start to the game.

Controls were responsive and the combat was fun! One strategy is to park it at either the top or bottom and collect arrows as they miss you, and then shoot them back. The graphics were simple but effective.

It was fun and a really good concept, but I felt like the character was slow and the bolts disappeared too quickly, but apart from that it was a fun little game :)
