Cool concept, I think it could have easily been modified to match the theme more, but overall I liked it, it would be better with ambient/background music and sounds.

Thanks! There is definitely a lot that we can do with the concept of making carnival games but with a twist - we're exciting to keep working on it and see what we can come up with!

We did have music and sound effects in our game - specifically a balloon pop noise and a fish flopping noise. However, we tuned the volume levels to work well with our machines, so it's possible the volume was just too low on your machine, regardless of what you put your volume at :( It's a good reminder though that in the future we should add a player volume controller!

Thank you for the feedback and checking out our game!

There's been a couple of other comments about not hearing sounds so I decided to look into it a little bit, it seems that unless you have the game window selected you won't get any audio output. Sorry that this is a problem right now, I'm not entirely sure what the solution is but we will definitely try to find a workaround for the future. Thanks for your feedback, I probably wouldn't have looked into the audio issue otherwise.

I'm impressed with the fact that the fish can actually land in the bowls, though it's tough to get them in the right ones! Also some of those "top winner" cash values seem suspicious haha

Developer(+2)

Yeah those fish are a little slippery. Thanks for leaving us some feedback we really appreciate it, I'm not sure what you mean by those names being strange though ;).

I thought art was good. But -$ doesn't seem like matches theme all that well. Nice job, maybe add some music or background sound. Edit: Your right on theme. Theme matches as good as mine. Ill take a look at the audio again soon. Trying test everygame and leaving a rating and comment.

Thanks for the feedback! The theme was also incorporated by each game being the opposite of what you would normally do at the carnival, e.g., normally you throw darts at the balloons to pop them, but here you throw balloons at darts.

Also! We did have background music and sound effects for the balloons and the fish. Were you unable to hear them? If so, that's something we'll have to look into! Though we will add more various sounds to help the world feel more alive when we continue to work on it.

Again, thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Lost all my money on your fair :D
Works fine on Oculus, art style is a little random but fun to play!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you had fun playing it! Could you explain your "art style is a little random" comment a bit more? We're thinking of adding more carnival games and then releasing it, but would want our art style to be coherent through out the game :) so if you have specific examples of the "randomness" you mentioned that we can address in future releases, that would be fantastic! Thanks!

I don't see what this has to do with the theme...

Developer

Well both of the games featured are played opposite to how they normally are and in a normal game the better that you did the higher your score word be, ware in this game the better you do the worse your score is. Perhaps we didn't make those points clear enough though, thank you for your feedback.
