For a 48 hour game, this is great! Took me a second to figure out to use the shotgun to move (didn’t watch the video first). After that, the game totally made sense!
Too bad my old windows 7 laptop is incompatible since i found it I hooked it up to my tv since it has a broken screen but its too old to run this but if you know anything to do to fix it that would be cool
if you go left destroy the cactus go to one of the like last 10 pixels of the platform then time the shots right you can barely stand on the edge of the upper platform not anything up there but i did it but idk how to upload a video to here from my crhomebook so if i figure it out ill update you
Wow, even though you explained it so well, it took me a lot of tries to make it there. Thanks for telling me - I think that is fun though so I'll leave it in for now :)
omg im so happy i do miss the old name if anyone dosnt remember it was ape egg games but i also like squid knight. are you gonna update the preview on web or is it only download if so thats fine i understand completely i just will have to wait a year or two to get myself a job to get a pc to run .exe stuff or if you make it available on linux
Yeah, I was very sad when I found out another game company also used the name Ape Egg ... But I also like Squid Knight, so I am happy again :)
The update for the web version only changes the logo - the Windows version has updates to the gameplay feel and the Visuals. I don't know how easy it is to create a linux build but I may look into it
I replayed this game on my main channel showing off the new editions to the game! I'm really excited and happy to see work still being done on this unique and fun game. <3
im learning to code its just simple html5 for now so i can learn something easy but then im just gonna learn some harder stuff but right now im just writing simple text in html5
We have build the whole game from the ground up so we have a solid base for future updates. We have some new functionality, but not that much content to present it with. We might be able to upload a demo video in the next few weeks.
i wanna remind people reading this comment rate this game based on your true opinion so the dev can know how to improve :D and what you enjoy about the game
The next update will take time. We decided to spend a lot of time on the base of the game, so the rest of development will go smoothly :) Glad you are still eager to see more from us!
Yeah, that's a good idea! In the next few days, we'll upload an update. At the end of it, there will be a sign explaining that it is a demo and more will be available in the future. Do you think that is enough or should we put an under construction sign somewhere else as well?
Thank you a lot for your effort! A lot of stuff will be fixed in a patch in a few days. If you really want to do some testing, it would be best, if you waited for it. I think it will also be more fun for you :)
Thank you for the bug report. We knew the bug existed for a while now, but you are the first user to point it out - well spotted! This won't be fixed in the next patch, but it is on our to do list :)
Thank you for the info! That cactus is a bit of a trublemaker. We changed some things, so he may not fall down in the next patch. We really need to make him much smarter though, so we will overhaul his behaviour later on :)
Thank you for the report! The bug was fixed today and the patch will be live in the next few days. The fault was with the player controller, so then you should not get anywhere at all :)
make a mobile version eventually i think if you had a joystick on the left and shoot button on the right the joystick to aim and well yknow the rest :0
Mobile version is already planned! :) The controls I had in mind were just tapping where you want to shoot. Then you won't need a joystick, which is easier and more fun, I think. Do you think that would be a good idea?
Yeah, I made a 3D animation which should play when you start the downloaded windows version of the game. The Egg and the Ape were also both made by me :)
Yeah, sorry about that. We ran out of time, since we had only 48 hours. I am organizing our tasks right now - adding a proper ending to the level is our second highest priority right now.
Love the game! Great idea! I did notice that if you got to the dead end in the cave and jump up, the ceiling disappears for a second. I don't know if there is a way to fix that, but it isn't that big of a deal.
Hey, glad you like the game! I looked into the bug and already know what is causing it. Thank you a lot for bringing this to our attention! I will try to have it removed in the next version :)
Awesome concept and great execution! All I'm concerned with is the fact that there is no ending. So, in my opinion, just add more to the game and add an ending. Great job!
"Just add more of what you already made" is a very flattering feedback, thank you! In next weeks first bug-fixing patch, we'll add some kind of ending to the first Level :)
Unfortunately, the finish is a dead end in the cave. Sorry about that. This game was made for a 48 hour game jam. Next week we will upload an update with the most important bug fixes. We'll add some kind of end for the first Level then.
Haha, glad you think our Textures are as good as the one from Minecraft :D No, all Textures hand-made (our Pixel Artist bought Aseprite just for this gamejam), but Minecraft definitely was one big inspiration for us.
really :D i love minecraft you do too? i played it since i was 4 im 13 now still love it rn immostly playing onward vr beat saber vr the walking dead saints and sinners vr shotgun wedding minecraft and roblox
Absolutely great video! The game wasn't intended to be this hard. Most likely the future versions will have easier levels at first and fairer, but harder levels later on. Thank you very much for the compliments and for making nice content! :)
Very good idea! Aiming with the stick and shooting with a button could work really well. Just noted it down, but not sure, when we'll implement it. Since the game currently doesn't require a keyboard, do you feel keeping the mouse controls is okay for now?

very fun! congratulations

Too bad my old windows 7 laptop is incompatible since i found it I hooked it up to my tv since it has a broken screen but its too old to run this but if you know anything to do to fix it that would be cool
i still come back to this game often when I wanna relax
if you go left destroy the cactus go to one of the like last 10 pixels of the platform then time the shots right you can barely stand on the edge of the upper platform not anything up there but i did it but idk how to upload a video to here from my crhomebook so if i figure it out ill update you

acctually it should be a easter egg
is the dev still alive?? (edit i mean this in a joking way)
Not only alive but also feeling well ;)
I took a break. I'm not sure when Shotgun Wedding will receive any more updates - I want to focus on new smaller projects for now.
omg im so happy i do miss the old name if anyone dosnt remember it was ape egg games but i also like squid knight. are you gonna update the preview on web or is it only download if so thats fine i understand completely i just will have to wait a year or two to get myself a job to get a pc to run .exe stuff or if you make it available on linux

Im glad your happy with your new name
any updates while i was gone?
Hey, I just uploaded an update which improves how the gameplay feels and the looks have also gotten some updates :)
Took me a moment to realize how to play, having skipped the instructions... very very fun, so many ways you could use the mechanics
good game fun game
is a good game :)
I replayed this game on my main channel showing off the new editions to the game! I'm really excited and happy to see work still being done on this unique and fun game. <3
What a unique idea. Nicely done! Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! Glad you like it :)
im learning to code its just simple html5 for now so i can learn something easy but then im just gonna learn some harder stuff but right now im just writing simple text in html5
how your update coming along :)
We have build the whole game from the ground up so we have a solid base for future updates. We have some new functionality, but not that much content to present it with. We might be able to upload a demo video in the next few weeks.
itsmy 69th day aniversery on itch guys im so happy to be here today and have played your amazing game
i wanna remind people reading this comment rate this game based on your true opinion so the dev can know how to improve :D and what you enjoy about the game
Yeah, ratings are very useful to us :)
i find and make funny jokes
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vrauYjDq7OhzGyg2ufFu73QJGvAURrDvbTMKLg23NjQ/...
Thank you for sharing your jokes. My roommate and I enjoyed them :)
thx for checking them out
the funny thing is that i imagined a monkey in a egg laughing while reading my jokes when i saw you enjoyed them
ummm thought i was in 8th grade not pre k just cus i have all f,s dosnt mean ima pre k. still kinda funny
cant wait for updates
The next update will take time. We decided to spend a lot of time on the base of the game, so the rest of development will go smoothly :) Glad you are still eager to see more from us!
well yeah its so much fun
and the more time you spend the better because then the game is better right?
I sure hope so! :'D I already think jumping around feels better and it does look better.
I really liked the concept, great background environment although it would be nice to have the end more damaged cause the it was abit surprising
it was fun good game :D
Thanks for the feedback, Ham!
You mean that it would be good to have some cracks on the ground, more stones falling from the roof and similar things?
Glad you enjoyed the demo :)
im hosting a jam on this concept due to i seen not many games that are pixel 2d shooters but they are always super cool
wait was thatpicture pf the bug i foubd before or after i found it
because its almost identical to mine
Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.
Thank you for telling us, we might upload another version later. For now I think it is okay :)
you should put a under construction sign
Yeah, that's a good idea! In the next few days, we'll upload an update. At the end of it, there will be a sign explaining that it is a demo and more will be available in the future. Do you think that is enough or should we put an under construction sign somewhere else as well?
love it i genuinely got scared when it rumbled and ran for my life
It took me quite some time to prepare the sounds and other effects. Very glad it worked well on you :D
ima spend time looking for bugs for you
Thank you a lot for your effort! A lot of stuff will be fixed in a patch in a few days. If you really want to do some testing, it would be best, if you waited for it.
I think it will also be more fun for you :)
When you enter your cursor into the center of the player this happens:
Thank you for the bug report. We knew the bug existed for a while now, but you are the first user to point it out - well spotted! This won't be fixed in the next patch, but it is on our to do list :)
that has been happening like every time i get there but i think in the far right of it is a small gap it falls down i think.
nvm i dont think theres a hole
i think i just accidentally shot it and it looked like it fell
Thank you for the info! That cactus is a bit of a trublemaker. We changed some things, so he may not fall down in the next patch. We really need to make him much smarter though, so we will overhaul his behaviour later on :)
well they are evil ;>
i just remembered the bullets seemed to go under the ground to cause the illusion but he isnt going down there anymore
Really fun game so far! I love to speedrun it, could you maybe add a Timer at the End in the future? Looking forward to further improvements!
Great idea! We were wondering if we should add a timer in the patch this week or not. Because you asked for it, we will add it :) Thanks Gandy
The game now has a timer - you just have to enable it in the options menu :)
Awesome! Thank you very much, and the ending is a really good idea for now!
Got trapped again, but in a different place!
Thank you for the report! The bug was fixed today and the patch will be live in the next few days. The fault was with the player controller, so then you should not get anywhere at all :)
has happened to me too but i forgot to screeny it
make a mobile version eventually i think if you had a joystick on the left and shoot button on the right the joystick to aim and well yknow the rest :0
Mobile version is already planned! :) The controls I had in mind were just tapping where you want to shoot. Then you won't need a joystick, which is easier and more fun, I think. Do you think that would be a good idea?
yes and i just relized your name and prof pic are related did you make the pic yourself
or make it a setting to change between those modes for more playing preferences
Yeah, when the controller support is added, we will make it optional instead getting rid of the mouse controls. Good idea.
Yeah, I made a 3D animation which should play when you start the downloaded windows version of the game. The Egg and the Ape were also both made by me :)
i really would like to play your game truly but its not even finished :'''(
True. By next week we should be able to upload a slightly improved version and a bigger update will come in the next few months.
i didnt realize how new this game was till i looked
im stuck at a dead end im confused is there no more than that?????
Yeah, sorry about that. We ran out of time, since we had only 48 hours. I am organizing our tasks right now - adding a proper ending to the level is our second highest priority right now.
really ill make shur to com back then ill remember and even tell all my freinds and my brother
Thank you, that is very kind of you! If you want to get notified about our updates, we would appreciate a follow :)
already have now
Thank you :)
also i am going to play your other games aswell
Love the game! Great idea! I did notice that if you got to the dead end in the cave and jump up, the ceiling disappears for a second. I don't know if there is a way to fix that, but it isn't that big of a deal.

Where is the finish????

We'll add some kind of end for the first Level then.
A very simplistic concept but not a bad concept very addictive moving with the shot is a very fun concept.
Thank you! Glad you like our idea :)
WAAAAAAAAAAIT IS THAT MINECRAFT TEXTURE FOR STONE!!!!!!!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
Haha, glad you think our Textures are as good as the one from Minecraft :D No, all Textures hand-made (our Pixel Artist bought Aseprite just for this gamejam), but Minecraft definitely was one big inspiration for us.
really :D i love minecraft you do too? i played it since i was 4 im 13 now still love it rn immostly playing onward vr beat saber vr the walking dead saints and sinners vr shotgun wedding minecraft and roblox
We love this game! Would love to see this turned into something bigger. Has the potential to be infuriating like Getting Over It. lol
Absolutely great video! The game wasn't intended to be this hard. Most likely the future versions will have easier levels at first and fairer, but harder levels later on.
Thank you very much for the compliments and for making nice content! :)
yes pls dont make it infuriating because i dont like thos types of games
good ',:)
Thank you :)
my man nice ta see u make a new game lol
Thank you mate :) Took me long enough, but I am planning to release or update frequently on itch from now on!
yo also can u have contoller support please erm i dont like keyboards
Very good idea! Aiming with the stick and shooting with a button could work really well. Just noted it down, but not sure, when we'll implement it. Since the game currently doesn't require a keyboard, do you feel keeping the mouse controls is okay for now?
um sure
Thank you for your opinion - then I mark it as relatively low priority for now, but I did add it to our list.
