2tinycowboys has a fun-looking retro western concept, but the multiplayer side is basically dead. The game is built around up to four-player PvP and local multiplayer, yet it has an all-time Steam peak of only 3 players, so there isn't exactly much of a community to play with. The single-player option helps, but a game designed around multiplayer loses a lot of its appeal when nobody is playing it. There are also no Steam achievements or Trading Cards, despite plenty of obvious milestones involving characters, gold bars, enemies and difficulty levels. A neat idea, but it feels like a game that arrived on Steam and was immediately forgotten.
In the storm of indie games trying to be "retro" this is the first one I've that actually feels like an old NES game (or maybe a Gameboy game). It is 5 levels of really painful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But, like those old NES games, the only reason you keep failing over and over again is because you suck and need to get better. These days where games are frustrating because they don't work or are just obviously unfinished, its really nice to see a game that works as intended. I really hope the developer finishes that ndyan character.
[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This is an unusual one... yes, at face value it's a pixelcrap platformer shooter PvP arena with no players, like many hundreds of others just like this. The difference is that this was made and designed for Amiga 500 emulators, so there's a dead corpse exhumed for all of us to look at and say "Ah, that's why it's dead." "2tinycowboys" is a failed PvP game. Why is it dead? It's time for a video game autopsy! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Developers often assume just because they published their game, it's going to "go viral". I'm guessing this is a case of the developers making this game in complete isolation without even bothering to look at what other PvP games on Steam already offer. The market for PvP games is crowded and the player base is limited. This game never reached "critical mass", didn't "go viral", and didn't offer anything to differentiate itself enough. Even with no upfront cost, it failed to appeal to gamers for several reasons. There …
The graphics look like they were generated on the fly in 2010, but not on purpose. Everything is pixelated, but not "retro", just crooked.
Seems very unfinished and the level design is not great. It was unclear where you were supposed to go or what to do.
