Is the demo ready? Nope. But will it include a menu minigame where you have to shoot hoops with a tumbleweed into a 10 gallon cowboy hat? Most probably.

Dunking on the AI in our game with trickshots because it's only halfway through the week and someone has to pay.

With Keith's new damage numbers and my cardboard jiggle/break material, enemy targets are getting somehow more fun to shoot at haha.

improvements! I am guilty of currently being wrong on our own UI, people saying it was too busy. I think playing with simplifying down to maybe minimal text with just one encapsulating backing could help. I like the bottom right image

I really like the muted colors and texture work! Giving me WALL-E vibes for sure :)

Any fans of side scrolling shooters, this one's worth checking out! Really punchy quick gunplay, and tht was on the old itch demo
