Wow this is one of the most unique entries I’ve seen!

I feel like I need to go back to all the past entries I’ve ever scored and deduct 2 or 3 stars from ā€œInnovationā€.

\n

This is definitely the most innovative game I remember playing!

\n

That said, it’s a bit janky. I felt it got easier if I pointed the camera up and used a pen in front of it.

Worked for me on Firefox, but not on Chrome. I didn’t manage to make it work very smoothly though. Nice idea! My highscore was 1125 points.

So impressive to use the camera. Once I got to Firefox it was really cool. Great job.

Hello, test on Firefox. The way the dev.js13kgames.com server has been configured is blocking some webcam features.

I tried but no matter what I did I couldn’t get the game to aim. I’m not convinced that it was actually using my webcam to be honest, but I gave it a go and was still able to occasionally shoot a chicken or two as the bow bobbed back and forth. I would love to have seen the aiming work for me.

This game has the coolest controls I’ve ever seen in a game jam entry, and I’ve seen a lot of controls. Like Xbox Kinect but in a Js13k entry. Though the image processing could be more accurate if you asked the player to use a certain color of a pencil, and take the highest and lowest color pixel.

Looks like the game can’t recognize my laptop camera (\nI tried different places and backgrounds, but it looks like a noise without stable lines.

Ive given points for innovation even though I could not get this working, tried mobile and PC but no luck.

\n

Cool idea just a shame it did not work. If there is more information on how to test this happy to re-vote.

It’s impressive that you managed to incorporate camera capture technology within a 13kb game!\nCareful though, the entry doesn’t work on Chrome and Brave. I had to switch to Safari to properly play it.

\n

Controls are still a bit wonky when I played with the camera on, but the idea is interesting.

I wasn’t quite able to use it with Chrome, but I like the idea. Something that makes me wonder if you could do something more with the LIDAR on iPhone as well. This is great.

Thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of this game! I was not expecitng to get a pen out while judging js13k (and to be honest it took me a while to find one in 2023) but once I did I could not put it down! Very well done on maknig something original. I am also a big fan of silly concepts so chickens mixed with bows and arrows was very much up my street! The background visuals also helped in understanding the relationship between the camera and the game.

Sadly, I couldn’t find a position where the webcam thing would work for me :(

\n

But I appreciate the thought process very much, such a cool idea!

I wasn’t able to play as I don’t have a useable webcam.

\n

I like the concept of the game and the novel control method.

\n

The graphics are cute.

\n

I’ll have to try on a different platform
