PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
CONTROLS: LEFT CLICK TO SHOOT, RIGHT CLICK TO SWAP COLOURS, ARROWS/WASD/ZQSD TO MOVE.
-------
Use your Improbable Matter Gun to shoot your enemies.
The colour on the gun means that the next bullet can kill enemies of that colour.
The colour on your back means that you can't be hurt by enemy bullets of that colour.

Awesome Audio *_* The game is fun too, don't blame yourself, i liked it!
i think the swap color system does not fits well with random bullets, or i did miss something :D
One of the best. Great mechanic. Great sound. Great graphics. And fun, fun, fun! And great western mood and humor to bood. All in all, GREAT!
The audio and graphics are both really cool, and the basic gameplay mechanics seem solid. I guess the biggest thing it is lacking is thought out content. There are a bunch of levels, but the color mechanic feels more like an annoyance than something interesting most of the time. Still. a nice take on the theme!
Awesome aesthetics. A bit glitchy but lots of polish and cool effects. My only big critique is the mechanic of matching color bullets to the enemy. I would just spam bullets at the enemy til one matched and just dodge the reflected ones. It kind of undermined the whole mechanic. High marks all around though.
Awesome entry. The audio, visuals and general polish are amazing, and the mechanic is simple but well executed and very effective. One of the best games I've tried so far.
You should definitely try to finish everything that you couldn't. Congrats!
A basic form of Nuclear Throne, with colors! Give it a shot, pretty fun :)
Thank you all!
Yes the content is lacking in terms of levels... I wrote about is here (and I added a video tutorial): http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/04/24/seamus-gun-short-post-mortem-and-how-to-play/
Nice graphic and audio! Gameplay also interesting, but it may be a bit annoying if you find a couple of green guys but you don't have green bullets.
Very solid game with nice visuals. A great showcase for HaxePunk. Fun!
fast and fun game!
May be the right click could skip a bullet raher than swap bullet and reserve (so we can have good color spaming the right click)
The gameplay is fun but the music (and the sounds effects as well) make this game so enjoyable.
And with this art, this game is just epic.
Great job ! :)
Nice nice :) Beautiful graphics. Really enjoyed the Nuclear Throne vibe. :)
One of the most fun games I played so far, and a pretty solid entry overall.
The game felt kinda random. I liked graphics and music, I liked the idea (I'm surprised I didn't see a game like this yet), but it feels mashed together.
The protection from a certain color and color swapping wasn't very useful, maybe you could add a level with inevitable damage over time, or some super-duper color you'd like to store in your backpack.
Seems like this game is too big for the jam, so a post-compo is suggested. A further developed one.
And "Game over"? Who tells the winner it's "Game over"?
@Madball: Yeah I didn't get the time to code two different end screens ;)
Thanks to all for the feedback!
Pssst - you are in todays Ludum Dare to Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5huV5G4H100
Really nice concept, and the art and music fit really well together, nice job :)
A 5-star entry, very solid. I felt the gameplay was a bit more button mashing than hitting the enemy with the following color, but it is still good for a jam entry. Music put directly the player in the far west mood, perfect!
Don't hesitate to continue to work on it, I really liked it (felt like nuclear throne).
Fantastic entry! The audio and graphics are really awesome, and the game is pretty fun too! This is pretty polished as is, so really the only improvement I can suggest is more levels.
One of my LD32 favourites! Very nice game in all categories! Very polished and well done!
A very fun game :) I'm not 100% I understood the color mechanic: you HAVE to shoot bullets in the wall when the 2 equipped colors don't match the enemies around?

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Sorry, we had a lot more planned but we couldn't make it:
- best worldwide score is saved and displayed for each level, but you can't set your name, so everybody is Anonymous...
- a timed mode was in the works but couldn't be done in time
- assets for 2 alternative environments were ready as well...
- level design was a bit of a last minute thing: the tutorial is half done and the difficulty curve is non-existent
Oh well, we had a lot of fun making it and we hope you'll enjoy playing it! Thanks for your time and comments! :D
