I cannot believe you didn't post this as a compo game given you did this in 48 hours. Otherwise, it's a good simple game. I can see where the theme lies.

The look is so simple, it's effective. It gives you thank "oh no" look since the atmosphere gives off the scary vibe. Especially when the sound ramps up and you see so many faces.

I only wish there's a scale on difficulty cause it does ramp up fast. I can only score 12 points and not further how much I do, especially when they try and hunt down on you. Other than that, the only complaint here is the file size. (135 MB? Geez.)

Great job!

Nice use of the theme, I liked the lighting. Would be nice if the game got more difficult a little slower so you could get used to how to play.

@fiakaiera @jaloko thanks for comments, unfortunately when game was easier it was getting boring faster, my personal best is 21 score. Just mind that stoneheads needs a little bit of time to change direction :)

I've started with standard Unreal Engine template, for me it's not writing from scratch so I'm not sure is it still compo game :)

UE lighting is always very good but the game itself is very simple. Not saying it is a bad thing, you can still have fun!

@jackisaacs thanks, I've believe that in a such hard game simple is a key to make it playable. Probably I will add some content in the future :) Thanks for opinion!

I love the head models and the lighting effects ! Nice atmosphere ! But the game is a little hard to quick !

the graphic style is good but the gameplay is in my eyes too simple because I can't build up a gameplay loop

piootrek 2017-12-04 13:55

@nexusbreaker thanks for feedback I will mind it in the future. Core loop: start -> try hard -> die -> repeat

Fun little game, simple but still really challenging :smiley:

piootrek 2017-12-04 22:31

@Bredera What was your best score? :D Thanks for the opinion of course! :)

Reminds me of devil daggers. Can't seem to survive more than a few seconds though.

@piootrek was around 17 or 18 after a lot of low scoring attempth though :sweat_smile:

good idea

I wish there was more space to move around :(

Very nice graphics, lighting and fitting sounds. :) I just wish the gameplay could be a little bit longer because I die sooner than I can start enjoying myself. Also a big like for the choice of engine! :D

@supr , @x-budsterized-x thanks!

I found it easiest to get most score by just doing a quick series of shots reaching 9 score max. Basically my problem with playing a bit smarter was that it was too hard to know what faces you might be having behind and around you. So some sort of mini-map or audio/visual queues to help me know where they are would have been needed.

Also it would have been nice if Esc or so quit the game.

Otherwise it was a simple and a challenging game.

Good job! I do wish there was more room or the faces sped up slower. It's too hard to get a good score. The best way is just to spam at one the moment you spawn as fast as you can. The visuals are nice, since you made it in 48 hours.
