Hello buddy!

It is rather basic approach to the theme. Visuals are reaaaaaally nice, physics is cool. Music gets annoying after some time. And that's would be it, gameplay is simple, but got me busy for few minutes, which is okey for game developed under 48h. Also it would be cool to see some special player character, instead of that... ball? :balloon:

(Btw, it is first game I have found here which is created with unreal engine, nice!)

Nice Little game, made 88, i don't know if it's supposed to be good or not. The mood was really good on this one :D

tangomango 2020-10-05 11:05

@bukkaketears Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!

Nice looking and fun. Audio was good. But the movement felt a bit "heavy" IMHO. Made 67.

Cool idea, bit buggy as I kept getting hit by asteroids without warning. I think it would have been better if asteroids were the only reason why seats kept going missing, and that they didn't make them violently swing around.

That's a really good game, idea is interesting, and I love your graphics :3

tangomango 2020-10-05 18:53

@adil Thanks!

Cool visuals, smooth gameplay. Overall, I liked the game! :v:

Simple but fun and fairly challenging, got 93. Good graphics and music

r3l0ad1 2020-10-05 20:07

Nice game! I love the graphics and the music is great! I love the inclusion of physics and the mood is great! nice job

jag 2020-10-05 20:16

I loved it! Such a cute looking and fun game. It only kind of clicked later on that I was "stuck in a loop" literally the ferris wheel being the loop haha. Nice music!

pierrens 2020-10-05 20:21

Good job my man!

tangomango 2020-10-05 20:22

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I really appreciate it. I'm just starting out my game development jouney, so all this feedback really helps :)

mfischer3d 2020-10-05 20:36

really liked your graphics. Think the pace was a bit slow for me. And the players jump height seems a bit low as you cant jump onto other chairs easily from some chair positions

tangomango 2020-10-05 20:39

@mfischer3d Thanks for the feedback! I completely agree with you. I think I should make the Ferris Wheel a bit faster

zackavelli 2020-10-05 23:49

Damn that is a good looking Ferris wheel! I would maybe add some kind of indicator as to which direction the hazards are coming from. Sometimes they can pop up on you and you don't see them coming. Also I think it might help to have some kind of collectible so that the player is incentivized to be moving around more.

adam-jewell 2020-10-06 01:02

Hey someone else made a game about being stuck in a ferris wheel! Although yours has a bit better graphics than mine (made in adventure game studio and ms paint!)

spyranteros 2020-10-06 15:18

Very cool! I like the graphics a lot, you put a lot of effort into it and I can tell, also didn't encounter any bugs at all, feels well polished!

tangomango 2020-10-06 15:21

@spyranteros Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like the game!

milmalissa 2020-10-06 15:28

Wow, this is such a nice game! I really enjoyed it.. and from now on I have a catchy tune of this music :D

danman9914 2020-10-06 15:38

Fun use of the theme and hopping between chairs on the wheel was fun! I enjoyed get blasted up out of the wheel by an asteroid but somehow landing and surviving it.

finn-tr 2020-10-06 16:33

Love the gameplay, the music and the aesthetic!! Really cool and polished game. Nice work!

kuro 2020-10-06 17:23

The visuals are really nice. A cool game idea, and an interesting take on the theme.

P.S.: You forgot to include your source.

tangomango 2020-10-06 17:36

@kuro Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I can’t provide a link to the source code. I coded my game using blueprints in unreal engine 4 so I don’t think there is a way I can get the source code of my game. I should get away with it though right? I have seen a few people not include source code as well

kewdev 2020-10-07 13:13

Amazing visuals and audio work, the game is also a lot of fun to play. Good job!

samshine 2020-10-07 13:24

Nice looking game! Fun implementation of the theme. Liked the fact that you could drop from the top to the bottom carts on the wheel if you could handle the landing right!

ar-borno 2020-10-07 13:59

Best part of the game is the visuals, i really liked it. And gameplay was also great.. nice work with this content

renge 2020-10-07 21:26

I had fun playing this on stream! Graphics are really nice, and the gameplay loop is pretty enjoyable! Reminded me a bit of fall guys for some reason...

I always wanted to know what it's like to be a christmas ball stuck in a ferris wheel during a meteorite shower, and now I finally know. The game also taught me an important lesson for life when I got my highest score of 103 seconds by just doing nothing: Always keep calm in case of a sudden disaster!

Visuals and music were really good and it's a funny interpretation of the theme. As others already said, the movement physics and predictability of the meteorite attacks could be improved, and some explosive sound effects for the impacts would have been nice.
