Hilarious! I really enjoyed this game. The mumbled voiceover, the artwork, the story - great!

The mumble voice over had my cracking up. Fun little game!

I really liked the Artwork, audio, and humor. Also, the Possible commentary on consumerism and the "hedonic treadmill"

It's a really funny game, maybe a bit repetitive but in a jam's game it's nothing. Congrats to the team !

This is joke game, and as a one it is pretty good. Even those rough graphics work. Good sounds, game mechanics work enough to sell the idea. Good job. Did not find if it has losing condition, but don't know if it even needs that.

This is a really funny game. The voiceover was professional grade, and the graphics are fun. I love the whiplash between the saloon music and the house music. That poor salon worker, though.

really fun experience, the voiceover was greatly appreciated. It could have been a little faster during the recurring bits but I really enjoyed the bartenders lines

A silly joke, but that's not a bad thing, as it was pretty well-done for what its supposed to be! The shooting mechanics actually worked pretty well, I had a fun time with it. The opening felt too at first, then I just started laughing and I realized that's definitely the pace it should be moving at. Nice work!

Great voiceover! Loved the music -- didn't expect it at all :D. The gameplay might not be complex but it is quite fun too.

Humor 1# haha, nice, I like how the bartender eventually quits his job. and the art is a bit messy but it still looks good. I'd say only part that isnt great is the use of theme otherwise a good game you've made.

Ha, this was fun! No real challenge in there, but when you slap humor on everything I keep wanting to upgrade to see what else is coming.

The gunplay was simple but effective. Obviously missing some kind of loss condition there, but I enjoyed it still.

I felt the intro, while fun, was a little slow. I would've liked to have seen the voiceover/text scroll at the same time as the illustrations that followed them just to keep the pace up there.

The art is a bit janky but that suits the style. All in all, I didn't expect to be this amused. Great work!

**WOW**, what an experience this game was(in the most positive way).

At first I played it because the graphics where charming but everything else was holding up till the end.

A fun touch would be to show stats (ballets, shots missed etc.) after the dog ❤.

I loved the humorous voice acting XD! You get 5 stars out of humor for that one!


Also the gay represantation at the end had me spit out of my tea out of laughter! Good job and remember to support LGBT rights!

Haha, that was fun! The little narratives everywhere were a really nice touch, and some stuff was actually funny, well done!
Also, thanks for the musical discovery with Infant Annihilator, kind of an Archspire 'all-in' vibe, very nice.

Aimlab is for bi***es, real OGs use this game instead.

This game is amazing, hilarious and fun to play. Nothing bad to say about this.

The sloppy looking graphics and the humor really fit well together xD I couldn't stop laughing from the moment I hear the narrators voice

This had me laughing quite a few times! The cobbled art assets, sudden saloon music and text elements create a really fun experience.

I had a lot of fun honestly! I enjoy the take on West of Loathing. The fully upgraded kid and child,.... nice plot twist. I enjoyed the thoughts from the bar tender too. Really fun, I wanted more things to kill... sorry upgrade, I meant upgrade.

VO is aggrivating, as is music.
Nice progression system.
Waiter dialogue is funny.

Really felt like a caring parent doing anything to help their family and massacre innocents.

Fun! Simple. A bit macabre.
I like this kind of progression system, even though the upgrades did not have side effects.
Great humor, with the waiter dialogue and the voice acting.

A basic gameplay loop, but it's not bad. I really did not see where the game was going when it was starting, so that was definitely unexpected. The only thing is that there isn't really a challenge to the harvesting segment, you're just shooting up a bar.

Loved the humour in this!! Best wife and children upgrades ever. Although wish I could then upgrade dog for cat, and husband for robot vacuum cleaner.
