I can't seem to launch the game. It crashes with a black screen after clicking on play in the main menu.
I've noticed that the game initializes my Oculus Rift before launching. I tried to find a log file in the games files, but couldn't find one.
Perhaps try to take a look into that ? Mention me in a comment me for me to give it another try and rate it accordingly :)
Not sure about your comment on limitations presented by the jam? Are you talking about the theme? If yes, I invite to re read the rules https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules. The theme is not define as a constraint but a starting point for your creativity.
But to make our intentions clear on our take of the theme:
- You play as a Satan's subject, building a **looping rollercoaster**, trying to ** capture fresh damneds** to ride it.
- Your task is to satisfy the **endless** hunger of Satan and thus for **eternity**.
- In order to feed your master, you can build traps to harvest the people **stuck** on the rollercoaster in a **never-ending** bloodbath.
Hope that clears thing for you, thanks for playing :)
It was fun adn addicting to watch the carts go crazy all over the screen, music and sfx were also nice and juicy.
At first i didn't understood it to be honest, but also because I was not zooming out and the first human come in the screen like 1 minute after the start.
I would have removed the zoom thing, the first playthrough I totally ignored it, the second one i just stay as zoomed out as possible. Also, I just keep using the random item since it is so cheap, but it made the game easier and therefore funnier, if it was harder I wouldn't have had so much fun.
I think the best part is just watching everything move, while the managing side of the game is not its core.
Let me know if it works :)
It does feel a little slow and doesn't push you enough to improve. I was able to coast along (ha!) without much difficulty and just a few traps.
The little touches are very cute, like how people will wave their arms on a fast run and so on. Nice!
Once you start drawing only downward tracks to rifts, you get some serious speed (and serious murder) happening.
Really creative idea with a lot of personality. Great job!
So, I was able to play it, and I had a lot of fun. It was a bit confusing at first,and for 80% of the play time I didn't realize that you could move the camera.
For the gameplay, it was fun. I would have liked the traps to be less effective, but infinite time-wise. I also think a good idea would have been to allow the humans to board the cart only if it is slow enough. Otherwise, I just had to put downward slopes (Or even a 90 degrees straight down rail) with portals to make the carts go to insane speeds.
The sawblade purchase isn't worth it either. The 'random object' purchase a pretty good chance of spawning a sawblade, for a fraction of the price. I ended up using only the random object.
The art is decent. I like the spriteworks, the background not so much. Way too many colors, and too saturated.
I also think that I discovered by accident a feature that you used for testing, as I was able to create humans portals by pressing R :-)
That combined with the only downward slopes led me to pretty much break the game, and get into the million range score until the apparently exponential decay caught me :p
A solid entry overall. Congratulations on making it into LD47 !
It's so satisfying seeing the hellycoaster racing around!
