Carchery by Stefan Richings

[raw]
made by Stefan Richings for LD 41 (JAM)

Description

Throw cars off of a ramp and boost into the giant target! Closer into the middle for a higher score. Five attempts per round!

Went a little loose with the theme in the end but got something out there so there's that! There are some Unity related WebGL bugs I came across late in the day and had to try and hack my way around them so the WebGL build may be a little sketchy in places. Trying to get a Standalone version but it may have to wait until after the Jam ends as it's taking me a while to Switch Platform.

Happy with some parts of this, not so happy with others but it was a fun experience to make the game.

Controls

Forward / Spin Forward in Air -> W or Up Arrow

Back / Spin Backward in Air -> S or Down Arrow

Left / Twist Left in Air -> A or Left Arrow

Right / Twist Right in Air -> D or Right Arrow

Boost -> Spacebar

Even though the game is super difficult, it is still really to play. And both the graphics and the music is really good.

I like the theme implementation! Funny game, I was able to arrive the center of the bullseye in 4 attemps!

At first I thought the controls were a tad unforgiving but as time went on I found it really fun and engaging. I found myself playing it longer than I thought I had.

It took me a while to hit that target! It's hard to control that car and that's perfect for a game like this. Good job!

God I'm so bad at this! I even managed to go far enough backward to make the target very very tiny in the distance :D. But I kept playing so I think it's quite obvious I had fun :). And I was genuinely happy when I (totally by chance) hit the center ;).


Very nice job!

I love the concept of it. The game is so cool, the lighting are amazing it gives the game more attractive. Good Job

an interesting idea, I would have liked it more if the car would jump like an arrow, otherwise a good game

great idea and take on the theme, and fun boosting my car off the ramp regardless of missing the target half the time haha, nice work! :sunglasses:

I'm really glad I found this game by randomly scrolling through the games list and then I saw the name "Carchery" and I just had to play it. Brilliant concept, haha.

The difficulty was quite well balanced I think. I developed a pretty good strategy to hit the middle. Sometimes the car rotated so I would hit with the side of the car and not the front, I think it's fair that you don't get points if you don't hit with the front of the car.

I had a lot of fun with this, the mechanics worked good and it's one of the most unique games I've seen in this Ludum Dare. Great job! :smiley:

Reminds of good old days of Flatout :)
Well done, with a bit more of a spectacle and showmanship that the those games had this could be a blast :)

Give mine a look, review it and let me know what you think :)
