AGAIN! AGAIN! by CrocodileTuesday

[raw]
made by CrocodileTuesday for Ludum Dare 50 (COMPO)

Hop on the Disco Queen and try to shoot the target to ride around again and again. Be careful! You only have 3 shots per lap, and the ride gets faster and faster!

Mouse around to aim Left Click to shoot

aim for the red target below the AGAIN sign. Hitting the target anywhere will score you laps.

Have fun!

The Disco Queen went so fast I got motion sickness but like in a fun way. If I saw this at a county fair I would be afraid of it.

I really liked the visuals, but it's too bad there is no sound, and the gameplay did not seem to be working.

@jk5000 what about the gameplay wasn't working? This might be on me because I forgot to put the controls in the description. I'll fix that now (mouse around to aim, left click to fire)

Nothing really happened. I did not saw any enemies and I just died after one lap.

@jk5000 there aren't any enemies. Aim for the red target. When you hit it, you'll get to keep going for another lap, and the ride gets faster each time you go around.

Cool idea, the characters view seemed limiting though, I think it would be better if you could look in all directions

Really nice game! The graphics were absolutely gorgeous. It also certainly got fast. I felt there wasn't much feedback when hitting the button (I had to look at the counter to know whether I hit it), but otherwise, great entry! My highscore was 25.

Graphics are great, just start off a bit too slow

I'm pretty proud of my score. I felt kinda sick towards the end though lol!

I really like the concept, and the roller coaster track is really cool. Assuming you built splines for it? Nice work on that!

Someone else above said it, and I agree - limiting the player's rotation I think also limits the gameplay capabilities. It would be nice to be able to have more directional freedom.

Also, the graphics are a bit of a mix - the coaster looks awesome, and you have some really vivid text, but then the character's arm is like clipping through the near plane of the camera. And some of the other stuff isn't super visually appealing.

Overall I really like this though! Fun concept and solid execution. What was your high score?

Overall, interesting concept. Wish you could rotate farther to the left in aiming. Otherwise, I like the idea. Wish there were more tracks, or at least a longer track with maybe more targets. Good stuff!

Got To 32, found it easier to face backwards and shoot back at the target haha! Pretty well done, good job!

Well I got a sad 10, could not aim towards the left more and that really messed with me

I got 15 laps!

Had fun, wish there were sounds to make it seem more polished.

@william-corrin My high score is somewhere in the 40s I think! I got pretty good from testing so many times lol

The visual polish is quite good!

Personally I thought the "left boundary" for where you could aim was too narrow, and so I couldn't aim the way I would have liked to.

I'm going around converting entries into VR ones, this one should be hilarious to do.

Back in a couple hours with a VR conversion! :smile:

Alright here it is, man this one is wild, there's some kind of motion blur effect on that gets really intense in VR haha!

Good stuff. Thanks for posting the source! :smile:

@shadowbrain this is amazing!!! I didn't know you could get it going that fast! Also, definitely a good move fixing the camera movement, that probably makes it a lot easier.

Ahaha my god! This game is completely crazy. xDDD
Well, I wish there was a lot more variety because now we're doing the same thing all the time, of course, but the initial idea, I don't know why, I find it both stupid and really amazing! I got into the game very quickly, I managed to get to Lap 30, it was so epileptic at the end ahahaha, I experienced something I will definitely remember! xD
Thanks for this moment of madness out of space time ^^

Wow, super cool! I think there were a couple times I didn't really hit it but got an extra lap anyway/got more laps than I expected, and I wish there was sound... But other than that, I liked it a lot! It was fun and interpreted the theme well. It started to really build in intensity as it went faster and faster, and I was trying my best to keep hitting the target, even once it got pretty impossible. Really nice work!

Great visuals and interesting concept. The range to aim is a little too limiting, but it's a fun little game.
