I'm a big fan of this one, what a fun approach of the horror theme !

I had a blast going throught this ride, it's really well, congratulation !

But I still want a picture of myself >:(

Submitted (1 edit)

Oh nice, this lighting and aesthetic are awesome!
And skeletons, just :p

Also, in VR this conception will be really mindblown, with come work on animations  and shooting.

Submitted

I want more! I want overpriced popcorn! I want cheap, plastic, often broken novelties! I want funnel cake! I want to routinely scrape gum off the bottom of my shoe!

Submitted

WOW i loved this concept, it's actually really fun, for some reason it was running a bit slower on my laptop (something that it's weird because i can play games like fortine on mid-high at 50-60fps) but the game itself it's AWESOME, very good setting, if the enemies or the cart where a bit slower it would be better in my opinion but by now it it's fine

Developer

Thank you so much for the comment!! It is feels great to hear that the game is enjoyable after working so hard on it!

Developer

Glad to hear you liked it!
Hmm, the global illumination that is enabled requires a lot, and also the level could have been optimized.
We were planning on making the wagon stop as soon as an enemy got within range. Didn't happen though :/

Submitted

Really, really charming. Its simple but it fits the "haunted ride" theme well. Well paced. Good spook music as well, that skeleton went hard.

Developer

Thank you so much! Haha yeah the skeleton knows his stuff. Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I loved this whimsical idea so much! Everything is just generally cute and spooky until I got stabbed 30 times in the back

The vibes are immaculate, although it was a bit of a learning curve to time the reload properly. At some point I will admit I stopped looking forward and mostly just sat backwards to shoot the pumpkins. 

Would definitely play again! Waiting on that picture >:)

Thank you so much for the kind words! During development we thought that we should slow down the wagon a bit when enemies are approaching in order to make it less likely to be attacked from behind, but that got forgotten in the end as we struggled to finish the game in time :)  Btw I tuned in to your stream the last couple of days and found it great!

Submitted

they keep coming from behind me :/ need a quick turn option if they come from 180 degrees away

Developer

Was the mouse sensitivity option not enough? It seems very hard to make it so that it works for everyone!

Submitted

its not the mouse sensitivity thing. Games like bioshock made it to where enemies don't hit with the first bullet ever. The reasoning for that would be that players don't wanna die to things they can't see which was happening all the time to me. Also Constant turning on a mouse is unfun. Its not a mouse sensitivity problem. Older games like Dino Crisis Had this same issue, which was fixed with a 180 turn. The game would be easier but more fun if enemies came from your cone of vision. its not about accommodating people that need to get good; its about something being fun versus unfun. Challenge is found in skill representation and not in dice rolls.

Submitted

Nice game!  I really liked the ride experience that you created for the player. Each room looks unique & atmospheric, pistol reloading animation looks great. It reminds me of House of the Dead.  Great entry! πŸ‘πŸ»

Why ask me if I want a picture of myself if you don't mean it. Don't play with my emotions like that.

I like the style of the art. The level design was very cute and spooky. The mechanics were simple but still fun. The skeletons were funny.

Only complaint would be general polish: missing SFX in some areas, shooting animation not as punchy as it could be, etc.

Overall, good game, I enjoyed it.

I really loved the haunted mansion feel of the game! It was a really fun arcade shoot em up experience I really liked the fact that you could aim too cause hip firing was a little hard to do at first. 

I really enjoyed the alarm and the ghouls getting let out near the end too thought I wish i could have gotten my picture :(

This was adorable, such a fun concept! Definitely gets me excited for Halloween in April :) A lot of potential in this entry, I wish that all of the monsters on the ride were able to be shot and not just the pumpkins but given the amount of animations that would've been it's understandable why the enemies were limited lol. I also wish the carnival music would've been louder and persisted through the whole ride! Leaning into the obnoxious, campier, spooky-horror rather than scary-horror would work very well in this case. Great work!

Developer

Oh thanks! Means a lot coming from makers on Somnosec! :)

After playing a couple of other jam games and going back to our game I agree that the sounds in general were pretty low, even on max setting. I also felt that it got very quiet in the skeleton feast room. But yeah, it was a stressful jam actually, there was so much we didn't have time to do. One thing was adding variations to NPCs, there is a pig mask and a devil mask, but we had 20 minutes before hand in when we thought of replacing some pumpkins in the scene with other masks, so it didn't happen sadly.

Thanks for playing our little ride! :)

Submitted

More funny than scary, but definitely enjoyable. Shooting felt very pleasant. Overall a very fun ride.

Submitted

That was fun!

I really like the atmosphere of those funpark horror tracks!
Everything works fine and smooth.

Well done!
Hope you will expand it in future ;)
Check our game too ;)

Submitted

Had to pop those skeletons for stealing my food like that :) Fun game

Submitted

really nice shooting mechanic, really fun tho!

Developer

Thank you very much, and glad you enjoyed the gun!

Submitted

I kept dying at the last part, and having to restart at the beginning was kind of annoying, but overall good game! I turned around at one point and got jumpscared by one of the pumpkin guys lol.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the comment! You are quite right, it would have been great to have save points. Unfortunately we did our damndest to even get the game done at all, so we had to skip on implementing those. Glad you enjoyed it overall though!

Submitted

Honestly very cool! I also made a rail-like shooter, but the 3d graphics and coaster theme really made this pop out

Developer

Thank you!! Interesting to hear that you also made a rail-like shooter, I will try it out after work today!

Submitted

fun game! nice work

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much!

Submitted(+2)

Very spooky indeed. Liked the concept and the delivery was on point. Also the reload animation was very satisfying. A great experience overall!

Developer

Thanks alot!! I spent a while (maybe too long!) on getting the gun animations feel satisfying, so I am very glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Wow, I loved it!
Nice thematic graphics, really good idea and highly enjoyable! All the animations looks great too!
Congrats!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! It is really great to hear you enjoyed it.
