Sombreros is an arcade shooter made for Arthur Lee's Action 52 remake challenge, where you play as a Mexican gunslinger who has to retrieve a couple of giant hats from the bad guys. Ammo is unlimited in the game, and you can also call upon your sombrero power to pause time and mark enemies for a round of quick fire shots. Doing this depletes your sombrero gauge, but you can replenish it by collecting hats from defeated outlaws.
You won't just be shooting at henchmen throughout the entire game. There are a number of occasions where you have to duel with one or more gunslingers, and some levels have doors that you have to break down before you can proceed. The obligatory boss fights are there as well, featuring gang leaders who can take more damage than the common criminal.
Note that the version of Sombrero highlighted here is unfinished. Best to grab a copy of the game in case the project is abandoned (Dustin's last update was July 16th) and the download link expires forever.

@eddythedemon Hint - it's a shame you don't have your sombrero. Is there a way you could SUCK it towards yourself?

@cyraxthehedgehog not actually time. It's called rojo something, it's basically the only way to shoot up to 6 bullets while the game is paused and be invincible during the whole thing. It's done so that you can aim at 360 degrees instead of only 8 directions, sombreros basically replenish your ability to do that.

@baldo77 you have to make him fall when he's near the donkeys. His feet will trip into the ropes. When you make both of his feet trip... Well it's gonna be bloody.

@M30W3R how did you kill the guy with the blue hat at level 2?

This game is gorgeous. And I am still at level 3! I love it, love it all!
Actually we can create gorgeous things from crap games, like action 52's.
