i liked the atmosphere here, i actually got pretty sucked in and got jumpscared by a demon chasing me but i killed him like a badass, totally didnt piss my pants. the cutscene at the end is quite worth it, really well made and really puts what i just played into context.

I liked the effort put in for that cutscene, and man was it worth it. Very cool aesthetic, and some nice gameplay ideas. Good job!

Throwing Things at the Light Switch Simulator

the models are very nice and the gameplay is spooky. i think you could do without the pixel shader because has good enough textures and models without it, nice work!

Seconding this!

I want to try this again later, since this seems like largely a skill issue, but I couldn't get a good rhythm going.

The UV weapons all seemed like they weren't doing much in the long run, and I would always end up getting swarmed as soon as gas was low, which was often. Other than that, this is a vibe, monsters are creepy, and I'm sure once it all clicks it's really fun to multitask the gas and UV things. Good stuff!

Thanks for playing our game! I think the generator light stuns the demons. Just don't touch the demons while they're stunned cuz apparently you can still die that way.

There IS one more trick. More of a major bug one of our artists found out about... hmm... no. I won't say. It's too powerful!

Chimp PeenSubmitted26 days ago(+1)

Nothing on this planet could've prepared me for that cutscene. Of course the atmosphere, combat, resource management, and music were all incredibly choice as well. But that cutscene was simply next level.

Bravo!!! A spooky success :)

Thanks! If my cutscene blew someone away, then that means I am a masterful writer! Muahaha!

Also props for beating the game! It's hard. I still haven't beaten it myself.

UDRSubmitted26 days ago(+1)

The vibe is amazing, was pretty spooky. at a certain point i couldnt figure out to get the cart moving lmao but was very fun and the atmosphere was 10/10

LE Lilith LambsSubmitted26 days ago(+1)

amazing atmosphere and potently tense!! i was stressing out, but i was amazed at how fleshed out the ideas were, this would make a killer section in a full game :)) FANTASTIC WORK!!

BattlenautSubmitted26 days ago(+1)

Nailed the creepy vibes. This is pretty impressive for how short the jam was!

ShiratamaSubmitted27 days ago(+1)

It's a game with a great atmosphere. The dark screen and low resolution make it feel both nostalgic and a little scary. I kept finding enemies behind me before I even noticed, and it was too difficult for me to clear. The way you refuel was a bit messy, which made me laugh.

One Hamburger, Please!

AMixOfGeekContentDeveloper26 days ago(+1)

I knew the low resolution would be good! The programmers who made it were gonna leave it out, even tho they said it didn't hurt game performance. But I told them it'll make us stand out. It did make one interesting scary line on my instructions-text hard to read tho. I shoulda made it bigger.

AkuziSubmitted27 days ago

I can see the efforts u guys put in. Bravo with the work! Love the atmosphere of the game.

KoenfuPandaSubmitted27 days ago(+1)

A strong short experience. Nice visually and audio-wise.
Only gripe is some wonky hitboxes with the gas and laser pointer but those are minor.

I enjoyed the ride, and was blown away by the very unique ending sequence!

AMixOfGeekContentDeveloper27 days ago

I'm so glad you enjoyed the cutscene I made! And also that I was able to finish it in time for the team to add sound and put it in the game :P

NerveRCSubmitted28 days ago

Nice game, I wasn't expecting an actual cut scene at the end lol. Are the pinecones a ProZD reference btw?

Submitted

Dynaboat: The Gulf of America

Timtanium707Submitted28 days ago(+1)

Lol the death screen was funny. Really like the atmosphere. I do NOT like the enemy guys, very creepy but I suppose that's the point. Fun game!

Submitted

AMixOfGeekContentDeveloper28 days ago(+1)

Thanks! I made the enemies. For the harder enemies, creepy was what I aimed for. Programmers also said to make the harder variations scarier and scarier.

The bat enemy that was cut due to time constraints (afaik) wasn't as scary.

But the ghoul enemy (also didn't make it) was painted by the other artist. I told him make it look like a gross zombie. But it was too gross, even for me! I guess you were spared from such a gross sight lol. But if we had time, we probably would have added him in!

yeah the atmosphere was probably a result of the other artist, the sound guy, and I think one of the programmers did special effects/fog/ night sky? I liked the starry night background.

OzMaisterSubmitted29 days ago(+1)

Very atmospheric game with interesting concept! The tutorial is implemented into the gameplay nicely. The game is quite punishing so a checkpoint system would have been cool to see. Using the gas canister was hilarious though. Awesome job on the game!

poltergasmSubmitted29 days ago(+1)

Damn this was cool. Got that retro 3D atmosphere that I LOVE. The reverb soaked sound effects just added to that in a good way. Big fan.

Submitted

AMixOfGeekContentDeveloper29 days ago(+1)

Glad you liked it! Did you manage to see the cutscene at the end of the game? If so, what did you think of it?

poltergasmSubmitted28 days ago

Naw I didn't manage to beat it. Got really far, but died, which hurt because the generator had a full tank of gas D:
Will definitely be coming back to this one to finish it

AMixOfGeekContentDeveloper28 days ago

No worries.

One team member kept playing that pipe sound at MAX VOLUME in voice chat >n< lol

zotariSubmitted29 days ago (1 edit) (+1)

really fun little objective based horror game, I haven't beat it yet, but it was fun enough for me to put in a few attempts, and I'm definitely going to come back to it later today or tomorrow and I'm determined to beat it!

edit: beat it! I may have not realized there was a sprint key

also thank you Trevor

Thanks for playing! What did you think of the end game cutscene? I made it.

lordnarwhalSubmitted29 days ago(+1)

This was fun! Took me a few tries to beat it but I got there. Fun combo of game elements here, really thought the resource management was balanced pretty well. Nice work!
