Cowboy Chaos
UPDATE: July 21, 2020 - I fixed the slippery movement and a few bugs in the game.
Set in the good 'ol wild west, Cowboy Chaos is a two-player game where you must blast each other off a rocky platform. The catch? You have no control of what will pop out of your gun. A baseball? A boomerang? A volley of peas?
This town aint big enough for the two of you, so have fun firing at each other!
Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2020 (which happens to be my first game jam).
All art and coding by Joshua Day. Music is by Chris Haugen, Sir Cubworth, and E's Jammy Jams respectively, and is taken from the Youtube audio library. Sound effects come from there as well.

Two player games are hard to test how fun it actually is so I avoid commenting on that to much.
The acceleration on the movement feels a little sluggish, it make precise positioning feel more challenging than it actually is. I like the different bullet types, but they could use a bit more mechanical distinction. The one bullet I don't like is the one that explodes is you're face, as there isn't any planning or choices or interesting decisions made because of it. I would like to see more interesting level layouts, preferably made with special bullets in mind.
Fun idea!
2 player is often difficult to test so great if you had time to implement a basic ai that just moves around a bit randomly and shoots at odd times.
Would also be cool if the projectile types had different flight paths to add to the chaos!
keep up the good work!
Thank you. I would definitely like to add more interesting projectiles in the future, and perhaps some sort of singleplayer mode as well.
Played with my brother was nice!
I'm glad you had fun!
Love that it's a random projectile. The super slow/floaty movement was a bit a turnoff but it has the bones of a fun arena shooter.
I fixed the movement, so hopefully it should be a lot more enjoyable.
Haha I get messed up by a fish. That's pretty funny!
Thank you.
My girlfriend and I had some laughs playing it! Well done.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It's kind hard to see multiplayer submission. My first bullet was a fish, I laught soo much hahaha. Good concept and really fun.
If you have some time, try my submission for this jam

Thank you for playing.
Nice concept of 'out of control ammunition'. Art and music are also pretty decent. :)
I found a bug when peas are being shot. The second time a player gets rapid fire peas, only the first pea is shot out and the rest aren't. The sound cue is there tho.
On the whole its a super fun game. With the 2 player fighting the backward motion from a hit, avoiding the fall.
Btw mate, check out my game and tell me your views yeah? :)

Overall really fun game! Nice concept and good execution. Everything fits well thematically.
Cool but whats out of controll?
