DEER

Entry for the Fireside Jam 2025

As a hunter, your mission is to track and shoot a deer in the forest. It's relaxing until Hardcore mode is enabled. Then, things get serious. Only the sharpest will survive. Ready to take the shot?

This game was lovingly crafted in collaboration with my amazing community on twitch to bring the best experience to the game jam. It’s our first time participating in a game jam, and we’re excited to share the results with you!

A few tips to get you started:

  •  if you can't find the any-key, just wait a bit
  •  if you're playing with the deer-option toggled, try not to get a bad aim in or you might regret it
  • there might be things other then deer lurking in the woods, so be wary
  • there might be some minor errors in the HTML5 version, for a better experience the windows version is recommended

great game! was not expecting it tbh great music, art, and gameplay HS: 6768

Great game! Really funny and I do appreciate the art style a lot. Makes me wish I was there on the stream to watch it get made! I even stuck around to try to get a high score: 6065

10/10 - This game is amazing! It was built live on Twitch, and the streamer listened to community feedback. It’s packed with fun content, Easter eggs, and two unique modes: Hardcore and Nokotan (Deer Girl). A must-play! It was so fun smashing the keys, and even bug-using isn't possible because the deer gets faster if you press the wrong buttons. :D
