Really good lasso mechanic! Similar to our lasso mechanic but with a different point of view. Great job!

Throwing the cowboys around is so cool. Good work!

Simple, but the atmosphere is very polished. Moving and drawing at the same time feels a bit buggy, but I love the ammo mechanic.

The most fun lasso game so far!

Developer

That's big praise with the number of lasso games we've seen submitted. Thanks so much!

Really enjoyed this, and very proud of my highscore! The bowling alley sound on getting chains also made me laugh :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah, once we decided to add the chain mechanic, we instantly knew we'd need a bowling sound for that, and I'm glad we put one in!

Nice game! It started well but I got quickly overwhelmed by all the enemies. When there’s a lot of them at once, it is pretty much impossible to lasso anyone anymore.

The bandit spawning system needs a bit of tweaking. We're doing a surprising amount of math in the background try to keep it fun, but not too overwhelming. Towards the end of the jam, we were finding some problems with the curve and ways the system was too easy to take advantage of. Thanks for playing!

Great job on the looping mechanics! I really like the idea of capturing multiple enemies then using them as weapons. The bowling part was fun to!

Developer

Since there's a maximum length to the lasso, we spent a good bit of "testing" trying to figure out what the max number of bandits we could catch in a single loop was. It was always especially satisfying when we got a bunch in a golden lasso and got to rain destruction throughout the wild west. Glad you enjoyed!
