Deep Sausage Madness by Ommadawn

[raw]
made by Ommadawn for Ludum Dare 48 (COMPO)

TL;DR Instructions

This game can be played from 1 to 4 people. It works with keyboard / gamepad (tested keyboard and xbox controller)

Each level has the same base mechanics :

Each player has to press X/A/B/Y buttons in the correct order as fast as possible, to eat more sausages than the others. First, the contest is about sausages but quickly the friendly friends want to challenge more and more and go deep into A SAUSAGE PARTY MADNESS (the 3rd level will surprise you). Eat all the sausages to go to the next level !

Welcome to DEEP SAUSAGE MADNESS ! :smiley: :hotdog:

Introduction

So at first I wanted to participate in jam, to "chill" around 3 days, but you know, things happen, so I started only 13 hours ago... So with less time, my first idea was to rush a compo participation :joy:

My goal

I wanted to learn a bit about the last Unity Input management, with PlayerInput and PlayerInputManager, so I decided to make a tiny local multiplayer game !

Tools used

Art : paint dot net

Sound/Music : Audacity / Bitwig / Equator2

Code : Unity 2020.3 LTS with Visual Studio 2017

The main menu could have been a bit clearer... but aside that, the game is simple and entertaining. The music is bordering on playful and obnoxious, but in an enjoyable way. The sound effects are excellent for the comedic style. When I reached level two and the music shifted... I was actually laughing aloud, well done!

Pretty interesting game, I think it can be pretty fun if you're playing with someone. Initially I thought the music was too obnoxious, but it became more atmospheric when it begun to distort. Moving buttons really add some challenge to the gameplay and make it more interesting overall.

Funny game if you play with a controller and with other people ! The second part is weird as hell but in a good way ^^. Music is fun and obnoxious and sound effect are really funny !

I really love the music and the audio, they set a very cool "crazy" mood! :)

Overall the game is simple but effective and quite fun to play with other people. If you keep working on it, it would be cool to add some AI players, so we can play it solo, or add more challenger to a multiplayer game.

Also, on a technical note, the game doesn't seem to take into account non-qwerty keyboard. I'm on AZERTY here, and the A is mapped to Q. Its not a big issue though, as pressing other keys (like Q) doesn't make you loose :)

What a surprisingly fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games!

The typing mechanic was fun, the kitschy audio and graphics were really entertaining. I laughed out loud! Reminded me of salad fingers aesthetic.

Hello all,

Thanks a lot for your feedback and kind comments, with a bit more time I would have worked a bit more on the "party mood progression" to suits better to the theme, maybe by adding a 4th level between "beverage" and "knife"

Interesting take on the theme! The music was great, but the gameplay wasn't all too interesting for me since I wasn't competing against anyone and there seemed to be no time limit. Good job with this!

Thank you for your comments :) @jakobthequizguy too bad you were alone, maybe adding an AI player would have been funnier... With more time ^^'

Very, umm... Unique.

I honestly didn't expect anything even slightly dark, but when the music started distorting I knew I was in for a trip.

The controls worked well, even though the ABXY setup isn't as comfortable on a keyboard.

The music was nice an atmospheric, and the art is impressive for the time period.

And lest we forget! I actually had fun playing and felt challenged! Great job!

As some have stated before me, this was interesting. Unfortunately I was not able to play this with other people but it seems like it would be a great local multiplayer game. I think the art was good, a little rough but has some charm to it. The music wasn't terrible, and the little sound effects helped make the actions feel a bit more impactful. The gameplay itself was really basic, but still effective and engaging. I do think some obstacles were a bit much, sometimes my buttons were completely off screen or really hard to tell which was first/last when it rotated. Overall a great game and a better entry.

I couldn't tell if the 'art style' and music looked and sounded like this on purpose or not, but it does fit the game. I had a lot of fun playing it! Despite a simple base, I liked how you use the theme to go deeper and deeper into an absolut crazy dream where nothing makes any sense at the end! Good job!
