Some people love to just thwart that for fun, but I'm the sort of person who would have really tried not to kill innocents, and only started shooting them because you told me &quot;that's what the fun part is.&quot; If that's the fun part, maybe just make that the whole game or find a way to get there more quickly? I had some difficulty with the collision on the bullets which I mentioned in the chat. I think with game jams it's better to err on the side of generosity. I liked the art a lot, and the ambient Western-ness. In the shooty-shoot parts, I wish I had a way to back up while also facing forward (i believe you mentioned wanting to play with mouse targeting, that would have solved this, or perhaps some manner of strafe button).
