This game was made for the 2025 Secret Santa Jam. 

Developer's Note:
Hello, thanks for playing my game! It's based on a cowboy theme + hollow knight playstyle because my secret santa giftee likes Cowboy Bebop and Hollow Knight (I have no idea what cowboy bebop is about lol.) This is my first step back into game development after a 6-month break. The holidays were busy for me and exams took up a lot of my time. Despite that, I managed to create a game I'm pretty happy with and I hope my giftee likes it. The jam due date was 12/21/2025 so I didn't have much time to fully test my game and implement everything I wanted to- so sorry if the game is too hard / full of bugs. I plan to update this game in maybe a week or two and fix all the bugs, but for now I want to enjoy my break after spending all of my free time this last week on this game xD. The next update will feature: Better map detail, a parallax background, more sound effects, cutscenes, animation fixes, and camera shake for bosses.
