Known Bugs

• Using keyboard, some animations don't trigger
• The game is tested with Xbox 360 Controllers, but the game can be played with a Logitech F310, though turning doesn't work properly and snaps to cardinal directions
• If both players shoot each other at the EXACT SAME TIME, sometimes their death animation won't play until the beginning of the next round. They will then spend that round floating around on their backs, and the revolver will appear to be shooting out of their crotch. We did not fix this because it is hilarious.
• When the match begins, players sometimes have to hit RB or Y (Punch / Shoot) twice to get going
• The aim line is not exactly lined up with the pistol (this is an animation bug - we don't have an animator)

macOS specific:

• When going through level select the game will hang for a moment the first time, but will function regularly
• On older machines two shaders break, causing the cowboys to have thick outlines and the gun-aim line to be doubled
• The launcher does not display the logo properly
