Loungeware Game: Reach For It Mister

The second game I made for Loungeware is called Reach For It Mister with inspiration taken from the original Kirby minigame and other pop culture references. In this game you are in ye old west and have to complete button combos before the time limit is up to shoot your opponent. This is my favorite entry of mine into the series and was generally well received. The game features ye olde western music and theme.

The gameplay for this is set up into three sections. The intro has a fun parallax camera-pan-in effect where you and your opponents characters are randomly selected. Next the player has to input the given sequence before the timer is up with varying degrees of difficulty. Followed by the win or lose section.

This gameplay is different than the original kirby inspiration which just featured you pressing one button before the timer is up, with a much more aggressive time window. I think adding the additional buttons adds more chances for fun and failure.

Art was made by my friend @space and music by my friend @meseta

Try it out yourself.
