We write the year 1848 in a small town called Deadwood in South Dakota. As the last sheriff died in an unfortunate poker accident last week, the town is looking for a new sheriff. As the laws of the time direct, the new guy shall be decided by a drinking match. Each candidate spends an afternoon in the saloon with the town drunk. The contender which was able to drink the most before the town drunk passes out wins and shall be the new sheriff. The rules do not say anything about the use of weapons (except that technically a dead person can not pass out anymore).
Note While there is a web version it is advised to play the downloadable game. The web version does not support high scores and may encounter some unique bugs.
How to play
In the main menu, press space to start the game. At the bottom you will see some string. You have to type this string in order to take a shot. With the mouse you can aim. The more drunk you get, the harder it is to aim. You can shoot the other guy’s shot glass to gain some time. But you shall not hit him, otherwise the game is over and you get a hefty penalty. If you want to reload, press space and fill in the rounds into the empty holes. Press space again to get back. Should you wish to mute the music you can do so with tab.
The game ends as soon as the other guy passes out or he gets shot. Your score is determined by the amount of alcohol you have in your blood when the game ends. You can enter your name by just typing and using backspace to delete stuff. With enter you can submit your score.
Special rules
To make the game even more fun, we have some special rules
You need:
- The game “Shot! Shot!”
- A shot glass
- An (alcoholic) beverage of your choice
Whenever your in-game character takes a shot, take a shot yourself. Can you keep up?

Installation
The HTML5 build does not support high scores and might have some bugs. Use the downloadable game for the best experience.
To run the game download Löve (version 11.1 is preferred, 0.10.2 should work as well) for your platform and then open the downloaded .love file with Löve. For Windows you can also download a complete bundle which already includes Löve.
Hilarious. I really like the idea. We made a typing game too!! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer
nice one) love the concept, but unfortunally I’m too slow in typing :D
cool game. my typing speed is really slow, but this words made me look at the keyboard every time making my typing even slower.
that was a great idea haha. I enjoyed the overall game but couldn’t win :(
The words chosen made it even harder, kept misspelling them. Added a good chalenge. Aiming also got tough fast but was manageable with timing.
Good job.
A fun game that made me laugh. It becomes way too hard to aim after just a few shots though. Other than that, good job!
A bit confusing at first but neat little game go!
Wow those are some hard words to type! Can’t use muscle memory for this gibberish! The best part about this was the sound. Every drink was so satisfying.
Neat idea! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
This game is positively hilarious. I like when a game manages to make me laugh via the use of game mechanics alone rather than words. “Shot! Shot!” is very innovative and it follows the theme well. The main issue with the game is that there’s not that much to it but that’s totally understandable in the context of a jam game. Overall, a very fun and innovative game. Cheers!
Your slurping sounds were funny.
Good job! Cool game!
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch’s Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.
Wow, surprising mix of games here. Just the drunk shooting alone probably could’ve warranted a fun game but the added mix of typing added a great layer. I would try to maximize things by reloading while I was waiting for the next set of words to pop up and such, and also trying not to take any shots aimed around the body when I was very drunk. I didn’t expect to see that much depth given the screenshots but you proved me wrong. Really creative entry.
Wow, this is crazy original a concept; I didn’t realise I had to not shoot him at first, but once I understood it, it was pretty rad! Congrats :D
Do you bet and do you profit from it?
Yes, I bet, and it’s straightforward and profitable if you know a lot about soccer or other games. I am a professional bookmaker and make a lot of money from it. I have a lot of experience with soccer. I’ve been watching it since I was a kid, and that’s why I’m so good at betting, but I also like to play poker. If you want to give it a try, too, I would recommend you play at https://ricky-casino.com/. You can be sure you will not be cheated if you play at this casino. But if you have experience with this platform, I would like to hear your opinion.
interesting
Ah, I wish shooting was a little more worthwhile towards the end.
Also wish the barrel was fully simulated (clicking on an empty round, firing on the next if you slotted a bullet there).
