12 is Better Than 6, Genuinely is a short but really fun, chaotically face past paced, western top down shooter, that is in the same ilk as game, such as Hot Miami. There's a nice variety of weapons throughout the game with a limited ammo system forced you to change it up as you go through the game. However, the main issue I had with the game were it's controls, which for me felt a little clunky, especially the aiming mechanic, that wouldn't lock on to the correct target a lot of the time, that led to a lot of frustrating restart's as a result. Overall though I would still recommend you give this game a try! Solid 7/10

BANG BANG BANG I fucking love westerns, and I love Hotline Miami. This game mixes both in a very fun way. The game makes you feel like a badass gunslinger, going from town to town getting your revenge. You get the classic revolver, but also other weapons like a double barrel and a rifle, and some other ones. love the art style too, very unique! I definitely recommend this game. Go get those bastardos!

Thiiiiis Game I got way more than I expected out of this hand drawn game. It's clean, the colors make it stand out, movement is fluid no tears, feels nice. Cool story finished in the DLC. The DLC is more difficult than the base game imo. I almost forgot FUN, it's FUN, you tie dynamite to a rat and send it in search of enemies. Go Play

Fast based and chaotic!!!!!! It was truly a unique & F U N experience, a new type of game i have never ever tried before. Would very much recommend <3 (just have the music on %100 if country music is ur guilty pleasure like it is for me hehe) Raz approved.

I think it's a fair warning to say this game is kinda janky as hell. Some either dumb or annoyingly accurate AI, weapons can sometimes shoot through walls, press the wrong button combos and the game crashes, and some weird UI and unintuitive levels (especially egregious in the DLC). However, this game's flow is fantastic once you're able to lock into the mechanics. The levels are *just* long enough to hold your attention without it being tiring and the hand drawn style is endearing. Overall, a good time that doesn't waste your time.
