I'll have to say this game needs a lot of work. Its a clone of a handful of games out there that have a better interface and graphics in HTML. I need to see more from a flash game. There is a reason why flash has such strong visual tools.
if you never saw the screens that say Ka-twang and take that! it means you never realized you could jump on the bad guys like mario. I'd prefer that this character were given a tommy gun or pistol. Having a range weapon wouldn't be out of balance since the terrain is all over the place. Who knows why a gangster looking guy is fighting 1924 goombas.
This would be an interesting game, but there needs to be some sort of story if you are going to have a style base on old silent movies (and not the mel brooks kind). I have to rate this 3/5, starting with a 5/5 -1 for lack of story, -1 for annoying silent cards for every jump, -1 for making me restart the level from the beginning when I touch anything (give me some lives, 3 is a good number) + 1 for originality. +0 for weird looking clouds that look like flying rocks. they don't bother me, but they don't help either.
reassessment: Graphics are 5/5 quality to me. reminds me of Little Wheel during 9 opening week.
Music is original in the sense I don't hear too many western themed games out there, but it was repetitive 3/5.
Gameplay: A fun defender concept, but irritatingly slow. I feel detached from the oil gathering concept, which does need some minimal interaction of some kind. 2/5
So overall I'd have to reassess this game from 2/5 to an overall 3/5.
Its all about the rifle you are using. Not using the right rifle means your round isn't reaching target. Yeah it should let you know that, but hey, its a flash game.
Yes. :)
