E - Interact or destroy destructible objects

This game prototype was made for an assignment in Game Design at the Cologne Game Lab.


Fun Facts:

It's a prototype and has no options menu, but there is a settings.ini located
in %localappdata%/Help_Retrific where you can toggle fullscreen, change graphical quality and even rebind your keys if you know which codes to use.

Since it's a just 4 fun prototype you also have the option to just have fun:
There are some cheats that I used for debugging still in the game. Toggle them with F1-F6 ;) In 1.0.2 F7 and F8 works too, to spawn enemies and barrels

:D had a lot of fun trying to win and kinda messed up with the params and cheats


Really like how cool and simple of a western game this is! Wasn't able to beat it but it was really interesting trying to be tactical and be wary of how much bullets you both get and use. Keep on making games~!

Awesome Video! Had much fun watching it and some of your feedback was taken into account for the last updates.

Played it (multiple times) and made a video. I hope you'll get to expand it because it's a quite polished prototype. It would be great if you could get something from dead enemies. Probably bullets since health is... unrealistic.
