Best game so far.. also amazing art, good job!

tad 2020-10-06 06:29

I came here from Reddit and I have to say that this is so great. Phenomenal work all around!

anant-ahuja 2020-10-06 07:30

Omg this game is a visual treat. But the gameplay still didn't click for me. It's not as fun as going max speed and seeing all the passengers just fly away.

namnam 2020-10-06 12:14

Nice game, looks good and is very intuitive. Maybe sometime we are a little bit to far from the action to have a good understanding but i can see why you made those choices.

kuro 2020-10-06 12:31

Oh damn! This is something else. I have nothing to add. One of the most original and well executed submissions I played so far.

indiequest 2020-10-06 12:38

Amazing work, the font, the art, the SFX, simply amazing! I was expecting to lose if all the people fall from the train but it seems it is just a matter of traveling as far away as possible with limited "gas". Based on your names I can guess the country you are from and as a person from the same country I sure hope the industry here will continue to grow and maybe we could work in game dev professionaly. Any way, amazing job, thank you for the fun time.

hare-software 2020-10-06 12:43

A really fun game that seems to really be its own thing. I really like the insane camera, although it was a bit hard to play at times. Regardless, great job and best of luck!

rgilpt 2020-10-06 14:06

Very fun game @omer-zadok and all, congratulations :) I love the loop :)

arzi 2020-10-06 15:16

Great art style! Fun gameplay too, though super difficult for me at least :D

danae 2020-10-06 15:20

Love this game! Amazing gamplay, stunning art, and please release this soundtrack somewhere!

gamedevmatt 2020-10-06 15:32

Awesome artwork and hilarious sounds of the people falling off the ride (potentially to their deaths). Interesting mechanic, though not exactly clear on how catching the falling people actually works. It seems inevitable that some are lost each time, which was a bit sad. Then again, I guess Quetzalcoatl probably doesn't care for human life... Nicely done!

arad-hamidsamiee 2020-10-06 16:02

in one word, **AESTHETIC**. high quality polished games are rare gems.

dexort 2020-10-06 16:40

Very nice game, the style is fantastic. Overall the project looks solid and original.

brainwash-gang 2020-10-06 16:40

BRILLIANT! REALLY BRILLIANT!

watermelonandme 2020-10-06 16:44

IT's great, gameplay is soooo smooth and clear, there is no bugs)) idea is great, temple teleporting animation also)

vrerabek 2020-10-06 16:46

Fantastic game. Can't find the exact words, but I loved every aspect of the game. Art, sounds and it is so fun to catch the little guys :smile:

collin-leal 2020-10-06 16:46

Difficult game but if you can get the hang of it, you can go far! Loved the art and it was quite funny hearing/seeing the passengers fly.

mrschlag2 2020-10-06 16:48

Great graphics, music and sounds, it fits perfectly together ! I would have thought that sacrificing them would give me fuel πŸ˜„. A smoother camera with no or small rotation could have been better I think. Overall, very nice game thanks !

nardandas 2020-10-06 16:50

Super pretty game, visually and with the music/sounds. I was super impressed with the polish it had. I had a really hard time getting much more than one loop, I kept losing everyone early. Dunno if there was a trick of if I'm just a bad roller coaster driver.

twobitjen 2020-10-06 16:54

Super fun. I really thought your pixel art was great. I wasn't very good at catching the riders but that didn't reduce my enjoyment while playing it.

fabdynamic 2020-10-06 16:54

Super immersive into the art style of the pixel-aztecs. The gameplay is fun and the sprite and level rotation is out of this world. For a Jam game this is an 11. First score I got was 1009. Someone said this could be a mobile game as is and I totally agree. change virtually nothing. **High Score 2280**.

solmir2000 2020-10-06 16:55

great game, simple but very well made

spyranteros 2020-10-06 16:55

That was phenomena! 5 stars for everything! Especially Audio was the best the whole jam so far for me!

m0dsat 2020-10-06 16:58

This game is amazing. The graphics, the music and everything just fits. Gameplay is challenging yet fun. Great job.

toby1645 2020-10-06 17:00

Simple but fun. I love the style and the music is a great touch. The game is very polished and is enjoyable to play.

jonah 2020-10-06 17:09

this was made in a great style. and awesome EXTREME camera!

good job!!

sirkovitch 2020-10-06 17:22

Awesome artstyle and concept, love it !

badpiggy 2020-10-06 17:28

The art was simple but really effective and the audio was amazing. It's a really good mechanic. I found out in the second run that I had to launch people into the air and catch them to regain fuel. Still, an amazing game and worth coming back to. Great job overall

gonzalol 2020-10-06 17:32

This is a piece of art. The graphics and camera movement are amazing. I love how the people fall of the rollercoaster

joedev 2020-10-06 17:43

Haha wow this game was a real blast, its such a unique take on the theme as well! The art is fantastic, the audio is great (and funny, loved blasting over a peak and tossing every passenger into space lol). Very much enjoyed :D 4050~ was my highest score, took a lot of restraint with breaking

wiredsound 2020-10-06 18:29

This was excellent! I loved the art, colour scheme, music, and the little screams as people were flung out of the roller-coaster.

stefan-b 2020-10-06 18:29

whooo rollercoaster, really like the graphics style

adorikill 2020-10-06 18:30

Amazing art, I liked your game a LOT. Very nice job :)

tastyghost 2020-10-06 18:31

I really like the idea and graphics. However Its little bit too punishing for the player. Also I would like to keep the camera little bit zoomed.

harksa 2020-10-06 18:32

I really like the game. It's absolutely cute, the sound effects are cute and well made. It's a bit hard to keep the guys inside your wagons though, best I could get was 3640m meters or so.

endeavour2150 2020-10-06 18:33

The art is simple yet awesome, the audio make me grin like a kid, a nice game :)

wujood 2020-10-06 18:36

I really love the graphics and the concept :grin:

guillem-serra 2020-10-06 18:38

Graphics and Audio are completely incredible, very well done!

forgeronstudio 2020-10-06 18:39

This game is awesome! Everything about it is fantastic. Great art and music, and a very unique concept

duck-reaction 2020-10-06 18:47

Everything is awesome ! The idea is very smart and unique, I really enjoyed play your game. Great arts and sound.

4050 meters.

:clap: :clap:

dani-el-urban 2020-10-06 18:59

Incredibly addictive game with great graphics and soundtrack. It's so much fun to make the passengers go flying and catching them along the track. I think you can get a lot of distance if you drive carefully, but it just feels so damn good to ride fast.

mrmaico 2020-10-06 18:59

Love the idea, art, music, name of the game, gameplay. 5/5!! Great Job! Only suggestion I can come up with is to make a pause menu, where you can turn off the camera mode (like on main screen) and maybe restart if you had a bad start.

m-trigo 2020-10-06 19:05

This game is fantastic. Very likely the best game I'll play this jam. The clear and evocative artstyle, the amazing camera work, and the sound design elevated the game so much.

Only two suggestions I can think of are: - The transition between loops is a little bit jarring and could use a fade or screen wipe - Adding in-game instructions

But even these are nitpicks on a phenomenal jam game. Excellent job! :v:

baran 2020-10-06 19:16

Beautiful game and fantastic art!

zrepa 2020-10-06 19:37

2340 score. But it can be achieved more. This game have so much fun. Awesome work

drtizzle 2020-10-06 20:02

What a great game! Everything blends together very nicely. The graphics, music, SFX all fits together very well. The gameplay is solid, exactly what I expect from a LD-game. Very well done!

pierre-cilluffo 2020-10-06 20:02

I like it ! It reminds me of a game from my childhood with the little guys falling off the rollercoaster :)

gentoogames 2020-10-06 20:05

This was so great! It had me laughing pretty hard the first time i hit that last bend. Truly fantastic little game! The momentum carrying over from the previous round was a bit jarring at times, but that would be my only criticism. Great job! :)

frankarlovic 2020-10-06 20:08

This game is so so much fun, but of course, the aesthetic is what makes it just amazing. The crazy camera, the music and sound design, the visuals, just a big MMMMMMmmmmmmMMMMM. The gameplay would probably become boring after a few rides if it weren't for the aesthetic.

mamon 2020-10-06 20:10

345345.png this is me during ld47 games playtesting. This game has cool visuals and sound, but yeah, action is lacking.

meek-bits 2020-10-06 20:11

Amazing. So much fun. Though I feel I'm terrible at it, can't make more than 1 loop.

zero-ichi 2020-10-06 20:13

Very nice ! Very funny xD The little people who fell from the wagon made me laugh Very nice !

croxel-studios 2020-10-06 20:15

Impressive! I love the concept and the general aesthetics, including the music and sounds. It's pretty hard though, I don't last for too long. Feels good to play anyway. Nice one!

palemek 2020-10-06 20:53

There cant be told enough praise about it. Brilliant and funny game, excelent execution.

The only thing that pops into my head is some kind of transition between scenes.

Congratulations!

chocolat-endive 2020-10-06 20:57

This is super super fun. Awesome graphics, and super fun (and immersive) sounds. Love the way we can have more fuel. I really don't have any advice or critism to give. It's one of the most (maybe the most) fun LD47 game I've played so far.

(The music and sound fx are really great, and that's rare in LD games) Awesome work!

wegpast 2020-10-06 20:57

Art style is really well done, nice and polished ! I really liked playing your game. It's cool, fun, simple yet effective ! I wish there were more level or bonus fuel if you throw your passengers really high and catch them back and so on. It's a good use of the theme !

Nice job !

bicheste 2020-10-06 21:12

Game is gorgeous and a lot of fun, tho i find it difficult

patsui 2020-10-06 21:39

Great game, epic presentation.

kirstu 2020-10-06 22:12

Great visuals and sound that all meld together for a cohesive experience.

Actual gameplay was a bit weird, because you end up not using the main mechanic for a minute, then doing a single, safe, small jump with your passengers to fill up most of your fuel. Then you just inch your way forward for another minute. I spent more time braking than actually tossing passengers around. The low friction and high amount of gas made it so I didn't feel like throwing the passengers for fun if I wanted a really high score.

That being said, the idea for the game is in itself really fun! If I had to throw passengers around more frequently it would be a 5/5 from me!

jenny-bourke 2020-10-06 23:06

This game had an awesome art style, very punchy and straightforward! It was so much fun to fling the lil riders out of the car. Super compelling and goofy, great work!

heho 2020-10-06 23:38

just incredible nothing to add.

jcourt 2020-10-07 00:54

I really like this game. The art is really good, the sound fits it really well, and it's fun. The only thing is that, in a lot of cases, it seems to be better to move *just* fast enough that the little guys just barely jump out, and then immediately land back in their same car. That being said said, it's SO fun to just fling them off into the air.

jon-nova 2020-10-07 01:01

Great game! loved the sound when they fly

roidz 2020-10-07 01:02

This is an artpiece

shanzhai 2020-10-07 01:09

Played it, had a great time, for the first time ever got a little motion sick. Then i restarted the game because i read extreme camera mode in the menu and was like "if that was normal camera mode, what will extreme be like?" Then i realized it's activated by default and almost felt a little let down.

Which brings me to my only suggestion for an otherwise awesome game. I wouldn't turn extreme camera off by default because it makes the game way less fun, instead i'd propose keeping extreme camera mode default, kicking the option off the menu and instead putting in a "normal/steady/boring camera mode" thats deactivated by default. Personally, i'd always try to go for opt-in when designing options - it gives the player the feeling of power to go _even further beyond_ or be like "pff, i don't need this!", while opt-out is usually some kind of downer like "me/my computer cant take it, so if have to turn it off :(". So yeah... that's my two cents. That aside, you did a great job!

fpoli 2020-10-07 02:04

This is by far the funniest game I've played. The extreme camera mode is incredible, the sound design and presentation are perfect. It's a very simple idea, but done in a way that you can't stop playing. Now I'm more afraid of rollercoasters than before! Congrats!

barelyevengames 2020-10-07 02:06

That was a blast, love it! Those little people are so happy to go to their deaths.

samdwester 2020-10-07 02:51

The art is amazing and the game is very polished

pichuscute0 2020-10-07 04:59

LOVE the art and concept here. It's got a lot of charm. Going fast is always stupid fun and this has all the pieces necessary for that to still be true. Great job!

pranjalbisht 2020-10-07 08:11

GREAT stuff overall! Game shines in every category, except perhaps just a slight weakness in the use of theme. The gameplay is fun as heck. Boy how I hate that final tall ramp. Now if only passengers could...uh...breed on a roller coaster...XD

tamail 2020-10-07 10:25

Such an awesome game! Loved the art, how smooth the playing experience was - overall great job!

steventus 2020-10-07 11:19

Hey guys, I'm pleasantly surprised with this game. Although it is not exactly my cup of tea, I would still rate it as a good game regardless! Let's go through the things I do like though:

1) Amazing art execution here by the team. The BGM, sound effects all blend in really well together. It's a pleasant to just watch it go from start to finish.

2) The extreme camera option is such a neat touch - and an amazing game design choice because it oozes with so much uniqueness the moment its on. Literally makes you go WEEE along with the audience.

Some other qualms I have:

1) I think the gameplay just isn't my cup of tea. But it's not a strongly negative because of that.

2) I think the game could make do with an indicator as to where the audience are falling from, especially when they are flung up high in the sky and you can't see them.

But overall, I enjoy the short ride I had with the game!

exopunk 2020-10-07 13:16

I love the artstyle and the color scheme and the overall execution is very polished. The flying passengers catching is a nice mechanic and really difficult to get it right, awesome work.

superunknown 2020-10-07 13:28

Unique and fun for a bit. Very nice graphics and feel...

ulisses 2020-10-07 13:28

Simple, responsive and very intuitive gameplay! Congratulations, it was great, I loved the soundtrack and the graphics!

sprotex 2020-10-07 13:37

Wow, what a ride! (pun intended :wink:) As many people say here, throwing the people is very fun! I'd add a sawtooth-like rail somewhere to increase the chance of throwing and catching people somewhere! And a landing indicator also sounds like a good idea, as was mentioned before.

Otherwise great on all sides: music, SFX, pixel art style; keep it up! :slight_smile:

indieronin 2020-10-07 13:56

I must say this was very well put together and very fun! The idea was very unique and I did want to save all the little guys but alas they uhm couldn't keep up with the coaster of death. The sounds fit very well and the music just gave it that play full feeling. The art was very well done from the trees in the background to the sacrifices... uh people lifting their hand and the cool looking coaster. I am myself a programmer and think it was a challenge to make the rail system and put everything together in this short amount of time, very well done! The only thing I could see that bothered me was I couldn't see the exact speed of the coaster but I don't know if that was just a design decision to leave it out. Keep up the great work guys!

jin9310 2020-10-07 14:13

Ok, great... just yesterday I thought that I have played the best game of this LD and now your entry. Really embarassing! Thanks a lot. Now really, this is soo hillarious idea and I love the take on the theme and overall the execution feels good. Great Stuff, thank you for this!

meowmeowlitclub 2020-10-07 14:39

This game is super cooooooooooool!!!! I really love it. It can be a party game and have fun with friends!!

eusekerci 2020-10-07 14:44

amazing art amazing musics! It is also technically challenging to do it, really like it! I wish to collect more passengers on finishing a level or in another way, once your fuel is run out and your passengers are gone, you have no choice. Better end condition would make it more fun!

tricky-fat-cat 2020-10-07 14:45

This game is incredible, the idea is crazy as hell, great music, camera, sfx, art. It deserves my heart!

roikku 2020-10-07 14:47

Awesome, but I feel this could use a procedural level generation to avoid repetitiveness.

savvy-community 2020-10-07 15:01

Great idea, atmosphere, feeling, production, etc. The game feels smooth and comfy: that's a really awesome jam game :).

pbootly 2020-10-07 15:22

Awesome aesthetic, everything fits really well together! Super fun to play even if I'm a bit dizzy now. Great game :)

kaganobik 2020-10-07 15:50

Graphics are simple and nice. Gameplay was fun. Music fits the game so well. Sound effects were cute haha :D Good work guys!

jusw85 2020-10-07 16:25

The art style, camera work, and music is on point. Good job! Gameplay wise, didn't manage to get very far though, I had trouble catching the passengers, seems like they needed to fall directly into empty cars? Regardless, I loved the entry!

ic-rainbow 2020-10-07 17:02

Wild ride!

zimny11 2020-10-07 17:02

This is simply amazing! I especially like the art style, so clean and so fitting! Everything works really nicely togehter.

animaster 2020-10-07 17:03

It's great little game, i like it! But it's bit anooying when you see passengers fly into your car, and then just fly through it.

robonaut121 2020-10-07 17:10

I had lots of fun playing this game. It's just so amusing watching those passengers having no idea they are falling out of a rollercoaster. That sound effect is hilarious. I did think there wasn't enough punishment for letting your passengers fall out, and not enough encouragement to speed up. I only actually reached the game over screen when the rollercoaster stopped entirely. Also, the game has no problem with you ditching all your passengers. Good job!

chris-mulholland 2020-10-07 17:20

Awesome game. Not much I can say that hasn't been said, I'd be proud of this one!

cursedsoldier 2020-10-07 17:26

Really nice game! The visuals are on point, the music is very fitting and the gameplay is easy to understand but hard to master. Very well done though I do not see the point of going super fast apart from just wanting to throw your whole crowd out the ride! :smile:

nodli 2020-10-07 17:28

Really nice graphics and music that make a coherent whole. The game concept is very original. Nice work !

gizmolo 2020-10-07 18:49

Woo! Got 5054 meters! I finally started figuring out the strategy in my 2nd play through. You don't necessarily want to race through the level as fast as possible. Just go at a fast enough pace and try and rescue as many passengers as possible! Really love the aesthetic and camera movement. The visuals alone are impressive for a game jam, and I think the mechanics are really neat too. All you need to do is add more levels and have them balanced towards the existing core mechanics and you could have a really cool game on your hands! Great job guys!

homeworld 2020-10-07 19:07

Great fun. Great music, perfect graphics, and i definitely expected to get dizzy, but didn't. Wish there were more levels!

victor-reiner 2020-10-07 20:03

Puff, great. I have no words. The graphics are very good, the music is great. And the mechanics are very good. You have done great!

tekses 2020-10-07 20:14

I love your clean and simple style. Very coherent art direction! Catching those little buggers was quite challenging. Really loved it!

rawb 2020-10-07 20:35

I really love the art style and mood of this game.

danman9914 2020-10-07 21:22

Brilliant concept and great execution.

ovid 2020-10-07 21:47

Hello! Very cool idea for the game! The controls are very comfortable. I liked the physics of this game. The graphic looks very good. Both graphics and gameplay remind me that it can be a very fun mobile game too! I think it would be better if you add more features to the game, maybe some obstacles or time limitations. I couldn't hear the music of the game, I'm not sure why. Maybe it's my computer's problem.

Good luck!

fragileannihilator 2020-10-07 21:59

A very well executed game. I felt like the best strategy is to let the passengers go and just ride without slowing down. No matter what I did the score was always in the 3500-3700 range. And also it's a pity that the level is so small, It feels a bit repetitive through time and also I got some motion sickness :)

mkraw 2020-10-07 22:53

I saw Randomise User play your game, the art is beautiful, the gameplay is fun

fonics 2020-10-07 22:57

Excellent game with polished gameplay and graphics. Great humor and audio to accompany it, truly a stellar entry. Amazing work!

binaryprinciple 2020-10-07 23:06

Just amazing! what else can I say.

bot12313 2020-10-07 23:07

This is very good game for the jam. Cool graphics and awesome idea.

garfsnacks 2020-10-07 23:11

Wow, this might be my favorite game from this jam! Exceptionally well done, very unique, creative, aesthetically pleasing, and fun!

julienlussiez 2020-10-07 23:18

Very interesting game. The visuals brings me to the web page and I find the game mechanics very funny. The idea of a rollercoaster is really good. Good entry for this jam !

some45bucks 2020-10-07 23:22

This game was pretty fun, even though I didn't like it for saving the people. If it was you trying to fling people off instead I would like it more, but I still really liked it.

fluffygamedev 2020-10-07 23:25

I love your take on the theme. I don't think I've seen any like that so far. The graphics are just gorgeous!

130n35 2020-10-08 00:22

Very unique concept ! Art and sounds are top-notch and this is all very polished, very clean. I admit I didn't play too much as it was very repetitive for me, but with some procedural level generation or many more levels, it could be even greater :)

seth-tal 2020-10-08 01:35

This game is actually so much fun! Great work!

jamison 2020-10-08 02:50

This is fantastic! I keep coming back to try to make it just a one more lap. And then take out my frustration by launching everybody as high as I can. Poor fellas. You all MUST keep working on this post-jam!

cydouzo 2020-10-08 03:43

Amazing game! The graphics are outstanding! Good job!

pedrohph 2020-10-08 03:50

Amazing game! Beautiful Graphics, cool sound, and super fun gameplay. Good job :smile:

creamybacon2 2020-10-08 04:09

That was a lot of fun. It seemed simple at first, but it turned out to be a great challenge. The Maya really need to invent seatbelts. Good job!

letterafterz 2020-10-08 04:50

Wow guys what a fantastic art style. We toyed with making a rollercoaster where you might have to catch stuff you lose in the loops. Very fun and very excellent sound and audio design.

eden-shazar 2020-10-08 08:13

It's really great to see a submission so polished and to the point (and from some familiar faces from GameIS, no less!). This is a very fun interpretation of the theme into a small game, whose scope fits the jam perfectly but still provides enough complexity in its tradeoff mechanics to encourage replay. The art and audio are incredible, and the camera movement is a brilliant design choice. Honestly, I can't think of any negative feedback. Good job, and thank you for the game!

avavt 2020-10-08 08:57

Truly one of the most outstanding game this time around!

What I love: - Fantastic art and thematic music - Smooth control and overall gameplay - Complete and casual disregard to human lives.

Some nitpicking/hope for improvements: - The font could be a bit more clear. I totally can't read the Creators name and all that - Turning off camera rotation could be a bit more visible or available in-game. By the time I know about that option I was already nauseous.

pinneh 2020-10-08 11:12

Really enjoyed how cohesive this game is, everything felt like it belonged! Awesome work!

willoxs 2020-10-08 12:09

It's always astounding how polished some games are.

celuloide 2020-10-08 12:51

Great game! catching the passengers was a bit difficult to me at least but it only made the ride more fun in the end. My only nitpick, a bit of help (maybe some indicators in the UI) in order to get an idea of where the passengers will be landing would help. Special mention to the sfx and the music. Good job!

dark-prince-zen 2020-10-08 13:31

Amazing art style and most unique gameplay I've seen so far. Incredible work. If I am to absolutely nitpick as well I agree that the font was a little hard to read, and I did also have a few instances where the cart was aligned with the riders but still fell through. Otherwise incredible work.

catomag 2020-10-08 13:39

Probably my favourite entry so far, love the quetzalcoatl reference, the mood, the artstyle, the concept and the music which just compliment each other so well! Awesome entry, you should be very proud!

remzo 2020-10-08 13:50

Very cool guys! The audio and art are completely on point. If there's one point of criticism is that I think if there was some interpolation for the camera rotation so that it's not so fixed on the cart, it would make the quick bumps a little less jarring. Nice job!

mikoziq 2020-10-08 13:52

Can't recommend enough. So much fun and spot on execution of the audio/visual aspect.

Mayan DLC I assume soon? :smirk:

armenbalian 2020-10-08 13:53

Everything about that is so original. I love it !

toccio94 2020-10-08 13:57

This game has a very unique style. I liked it visually, the palette, how you used the shapes to remind to the aztec style, the extreme camera is so good, gives u a nice feeling of movement, speed and dynamism! It's overall very polished. The music was also fitting this and the human sounds are fun.

Sadly, it's too hard, too easy to just lose all the humans, especially if u want to go fast that is the cool part of this game. I don't want to move slowly just to keep scoring to be honest, and moving fast lead to a very hard control over the human. Maybe if the human refilled at the end of the level it could be ok, and also made it possible to have multiple levels. Heck I don't even know if the second stage is like the first or it's new because I come to the second stage with almost no fuel! I also think the connection with the theme is a bit weak, you start again and do a full spin but it seems all about that.

Overall tho I was really impressed by this, so great work!

yokoonfire 2020-10-08 14:02

I like sound effects very much. The style and movement of the camera make this game very enjoyable.

lunarstrain 2020-10-08 14:16

Impressive work, I think I don't need to write anything else there C:

pca 2020-10-08 14:24

I want to this Attractions at disney land.

pixelmoose-studio 2020-10-08 14:28

Super high quality with amazing art style and great sound effects

shugor 2020-10-08 14:52

This one's really great, sounds and style are on point, everything goes together wonderfully. great job!

hadi-danial 2020-10-08 15:13

This is an amazing game! Got 3364. I really like the way they go flying haha, and how you have to catch them to get more fuel. The only thing I hoped for was to get a few extra passengers at each station, to prolong each run!

Also, I very highly recommend the *PC Build* over the WebGL build. The web version wouldn't let me go into fullscreen, which made it really hard to see with the pixel-art.

Overall, great entry!

toccio94 2020-10-08 15:20

I've seen that u have a huge number of ratings compared to the ratings you received, and I was eager to know how could it be possible, if it was something I was missing that I could do to improve the visibility of my game.

It's a good idea to make a post about your game to gave attention on it (heck, you reminded myself that I could do one too) but posting the same exact post every 6 hours MAY be too much, unfair.

We all want feedbacks and comments, but let's try to not overshadow the others and be too greedy. There is already a lot of confusion nowadays and it is hard to stand out. It's easy to use those kinds of "tools" to stand out but I don't think it is fair to the others, which are playing and rating other games, or at least makes the effort to create a new post with new content. As a fellow dev I hope you understand what I'm saying.

Please don't feed this kind of behavior.

weeping-rupee 2020-10-08 16:02

Hey, I played my game on your stream if you're interested the VOD is posted here.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/764236273

730 2020-10-08 16:02

The visuals and physics are so polished it's incredible, I love the camera and parallax work. The simple palette helps the cohesion a lot too. The gameplay itself has the potential to be very fun, though there's not much in there at the moment, and what is apparently the most important mechanic, catching passengers, is exceedingly hard, at least for me. Not sure if you have to be aware of the shape and orientation of loops and stuff in order to launch them in an efficient way or something like that.

charles-viau 2020-10-08 16:35

Great game, had a lot of fun, also i really enjoyed the music, was it an OST?

mrbamboo 2020-10-08 16:40

The view angle is really nice ! I like that we get more fuel when they get back in train haha

l30nard0-b 2020-10-08 19:02

Really good game, had lots of fun

malashik 2020-10-08 19:53

Whoah, these happy guys fliyng around, ahhahaha! Nice idea, music, style. Really good job guys! I had a lot of fun driving this train! Thanks for this game!

wendel-scardua 2020-10-08 20:33

The aztec pixel art style is very beautiful - I saw a screenshot on the feed and I just had to check it out.

I wish the game wouldn't do that zoom out / zoom in when the ride returns to the beginning, but that's just me nitpicking.

gautstafr 2020-10-08 21:21

This is awesome, great music, visual style and gameplay. I wish the camera was more zoomed in on the cart though, and I think the game needs anti-aliasing and thicker lines or something, I was feeling a lot of eye-strain while playing it.

jajakeim 2020-10-08 21:30

what a nice entry, gj !

2020-10-08 21:45

Great game, simple concept but really addicting, wasn't able to stop playing :D Also great art style and music.

eluo 2020-10-09 01:09

God i liked the art. The parallax effect looked really good as well and helped elevate the art. Its fun to learn the mechanics and to try to get a new high score. I can see myself plysing this game from time to time. GJ! :) Current high score flex: 9000

junebug 2020-10-09 02:49

This is such a unique concept! Having to catch the passengers to gain back fuel is a really out-there mechanic, it's very innovative. I think I was maybe most impressed with the audio. The soundtrack really supported the theme of the game, and the sound of the coaster travelling along the cart both evoked a rollercoaster, but also rocks sliding and cracking against each other, really selling the concept even with the minimal visuals (which were also gorgeous). Great job!

tsunscreen 2020-10-09 05:01

The camera jumping back upon finishing a loop was a bit odd, but that's as far as my complaints go. All around pretty great!

paulhudson 2020-10-09 05:13

Great idea and beautifull style! I hope it will be on android

mbrezu 2020-10-09 06:23

Amazing game, definitely worth a mobile version. Loved everything: graphics, sound, feel. Wish it was a little easier :-D

meatball 2020-10-09 06:47

Awesome! Special props to great the music and SFX for perfectly setting the tone.

cosmicpickle 2020-10-09 08:25

It is a really fun game. At first I had trouble getting the goal, but then it turned out I just had to read the rules :D. The graphics are really cool and thematic, the sound is greeat, the controls are really good. I reached 3700. Was really fun. Might play it again in the future.

peachtreeoath 2020-10-09 08:49

Yo having Chase on the team was a cheat code, that theme is sooo good!

Really fun game, I loved the extreme camera actually. It's intense but it gives a type of challenge I haven't seen in another game, the ability to judge trajectory when down isn't down, very cool twist and unexpected. It also makes a hell of a gif.

Like others brought up, after the initial fun of going ham, you realize you actually have to be real careful if you want to get a high score, which ends up killing the fun a bit.

Regardless, I can still see the heart of the game throughout this especially if you ignore score attack. You have a game that's just a joy to experience, where you're moving frantically to position yourself in the right spot at the right time and watching the chaos ensue.

arron-fowler 2020-10-09 11:41

I love the artstyle and the game loop is a real challenge. So much joyous death. A very fun experience.

aaronacus 2020-10-09 16:17

I love it but I lose my folks really quick hahhah

bibicio 2020-10-09 16:50

Wow, the polish on this game is really impressive! I found it intuitive, but quite hard to survive for a long time. The visuals and audio are incredible, and the gameplay is really smooth. Very nice job, one of the best entries I've played.

narom42 2020-10-09 17:11

Really well polished and fun, thanks !

mikesalyh 2020-10-09 18:07

Very enjoyable graphics, music, and style. I had a lot of fun launching the little people and recapturing them.

Sometimes, the people would clip right through my coaster though, and that was frustrating. It's especially prominent when I go over the first hill slowly.

ruruie 2020-10-09 19:09

The gameplay itself didn't click. I just had fun throwing people off and also driving backwards, which is a feature I appreciate.

flying-basement-studios 2020-10-09 20:39

Cool idea, catching people is fun

droo-shayne 2020-10-09 21:22

I really like this game! Awesome idea using the theme, nice Aztec aesthetic, cool thrill/fuel mechanic, good sound design/feedback. The noises people make when they fly out of their seats are hilarious.

A few small issues: camera zooms out painfully far when the loop resets and doesn't go back in very quickly. Also it is really interesting visually, but the camera tilting everywhere is a little nauseating. It seems riders have to land in unique seats to get back, rather than just land anywhere on the cars, which is cool, but also maybe rewards safer playstyles?

Overall, the good very much outweighs my nitpicks! Awesome game!

honest-dan 2020-10-09 22:21

Thank you for having the camera toggle :D Quite a simple but satisfying concept! It was nice that balance between conserving fuel and conserving lives! Lovely style too

moddingmachine 2020-10-09 22:22

I love this game XD, Something about yeeting little people into the sky just to watch fall infinitly into the abyss seems really funny... Awesome Submission!

gamesplusjames 2020-10-10 00:00

I love the artstyle that was used here. I think the gameplay was really cool, and I especially liked the loop-the-loop bits :D Great work!

avatargreggles 2020-10-10 00:03

This is incredibly good! I absolutely adore the art style and the mechanic of the game is very enjoyable and enticing!

mrbrixican 2020-10-10 01:59

The music/sounds were awesome and really fit in with the game.

sophiemae0 2020-10-10 02:53

This is a totally original idea for a game! The art is beautiful and also adorable. I love the sound of the little passengers. I still have not mastered the art of catching the passengers but I'm getting there! Great job :)

mr-developer 2020-10-10 08:00

Amazing game! Really like it, funny style, innovative idea(already forgot aztecs existed) and fun gameplay, great job guys, btw it's funny the team has the same size as our team had)

zombiebust3r 2020-10-10 09:04

Very fun game. I love the little character flying around. Sound design is awesome. It would make a very fun mobile game for sure, try making some more content for it and release it :)

douglas-driving 2020-10-10 09:24

Crazy stuff haha. Kinda trippy to play, i got a big motionstick almost! The music and the graphics work really well together to make it look professional. However, the gameplay in itself is not very engaging in the long run

bauke-regnerus 2020-10-10 12:13

The game is fun and the art looks good. Nice color palette.

omarmobadr 2020-10-10 12:16

one of the best camera movement I've seen so far combined with very smooth gameplay amazing game

cyborgx7 2020-10-10 15:10

Very fun presentation. The screen turning is dizzying, but not in a bad way. I felt like I didn't have as much control over catching the people as I needed to play well. But I enjoyed my time with it.

merlinnsound 2020-10-10 19:48

Interesting game idea. The camera made me crazy! Love the integration of aztec culture!

higgs 2020-10-10 20:11

This game has an amezing art style, great work(:

neowedge 2020-10-10 20:25

I love the art style. The game concept is funny, but my aztecs don't keep two complete loops inside the train xDDD Great entry! Congrats!

PD: Github link doesn't work!

d-studios 2020-10-10 21:06

I liked how the game's aesthetic and sound enhanced the mood of the game and gave an Aztec vibe. I also really liked the innovative concept for the core gameplay as it does not really follow conventional gameplay genres. Unfortunately, I felt that the game suffered from a lack of purpose as there was no end goal and I did not feel like I really accomplished much by the time I decided I was finished playing the game before reviewing.

P.S. The open source code link does not work.

almost 2020-10-11 00:02

I managed 2278.

I like the art! And the idea is pretty cool. I found it really hard to catch people though. They often end up flying off the top of the screen and then the camera rotates, so I have no idea where they will land. I think it would be nice if there was some visual indication for off-screen people. Maybe also a visualization for which way they are falling. I kind of wanted the screen to not rotate, but I think flipping upside down in a loop is part of the fun.

I had a few passengers fall through my train, and that felt like a bug, though someone above comments that they might need to land on empty seats, which seems tough.

mharring 2020-10-11 00:44

Love the mood in this game! Like others have mentioned, I found it pretty hard to catch the passengers. Atmosphere was great though!

garys 2020-10-11 01:43

Excellent all round. Interesting mechanic, beautifully simplistic graphics and gameplay - the sounds of the flying passangers made me giggle constantly... this was just a joy to play. Well done!

tommy 2020-10-11 10:43

Absolutely gorgeous game! Great graphics, audio and mood, and a hell of a lot of fun to play. Only little downside I have seed is that once you finish a lap and you start the next one, the camera seems to be a little confused.

joleon 2020-10-11 11:05

Cool game, fun to play, more than a few times through. Really consistent art and music and mood. A little over 3000 score is as far as I got.

Innovative definitely, I've never played with a mechanic like this.

Only when I look at the stills, I realize how much attention was put into everything, the train, the background...

I wish there was some way to recover people that I lose, for example more people get on every time I get to the end of the loop, it would probably keep me engaged for even longer than it has.

Good job :)

msiddeek 2020-10-11 11:52

So much work went into this! Simply amazing!

mohmehdi 2020-10-11 21:00

every thing about this game is so cute i loved jumping sound

sharked 2020-10-11 21:58

Very cool :D Good job guys ! A bit hard because we have to know the path by heart if we want the big score, but it's cute and fun.

wabble 2020-10-12 01:33

Super arethetically pleasing. And the physics are very well implemnented, train goes smooth and it is quite fun to thorugh the aztecs out haha

dock-frankenstein 2020-10-12 05:04

Good game. Just plain and simple

bentekiller 2020-10-12 10:54

Amazing game, well executed, a bit easy once you get the hang of it, maybe making the lvl slightly harder each time it repeats or making you need to achieve a certain speed so losing passengers really matters latter on could make it more addicting to play as it gets challenging! 5068 meters!!

darkmax14 2020-10-12 12:09

You guys did a fantastic job. Amazing visual style and really fun gameplay overall. Well done!

basileios 2020-10-12 17:10

the art is amazing

moritz-jaeger 2020-10-12 17:58

nicely polished, nice art, nice bgm, just maybe a little too punishing when you loose all passengers. Some way to regain them later would have been nice, like for example regaining some of them when you restart at the "station"

jesus-gonzalez 2020-10-12 17:59

The visual style, music and sound design are amazing. You'll probably win this LD in some categories.

asfdfdfd 2020-10-12 20:08

Love your art direction. It is incredible!

votron 2020-10-12 22:14

Please Make More!!!

virimine 2020-10-12 23:52

Beautiful Art! Sound and graphics fit the theme soo well! Pixel art always reminded me of the Aztec patterns so I am glad to see it here. Also one of the most clever implementations of the theme~

I rly missed fullscreen tbh :sweat_smile: Should there happen something when the fuel finished? Cause the train kept going~

2020-10-13 01:34

Great game and concept. Really fun to play! So random that a rollercoaster is in the Aztec world but it just works. Sound, graphics and gameplay are on point. Awesome job folks! and rollercoaster your way into a great game for the Ludum Dare!

nodesworth 2020-10-13 02:38

Sound effects were spot on! I liked the poor little people flying everywhere great job!

hanra 2020-10-13 14:50

Utterly beautiful, nice job :)

donovan 2020-10-13 16:59

Came for the awesome audio and stayed for the ridiculously funny/fun gameplay! Great work.

ryan-paton 2020-10-14 02:13

Excellent game! You'd think the little Aztecs would learn to hold on better after all the times I played through it :laughing:

alekm 2020-10-14 03:05

Funny game and very hard. Those people should use seatbelts xD

egan-henderson 2020-10-14 03:37

Holy cow, what a great little game! The graphics were really nice and super cohesive. Having a roller coaster with loops is a great idea for the theme, loved that. This feels like a flash game I would have played as a kid, but it was made for a game jam. Just absolutely incredible!

killerkun 2020-10-14 08:30

While really simple, this is one of the best games that I've tried so far, you guys did an excellent job with it. I only wish there were more levels to it.

hadik 2020-10-14 13:03

Original game mechanics, I like your inovations. Not bad, not bad :) I like your art. Percetly match theme. I want more, its very fun game, release it on the steam after some polish. Amazing audio, I like it, really. Very good mood, nice work. Overall I like you game, good job.

sunblast 2020-10-14 15:18

Amazing game, the art style is great!

mira 2020-10-14 16:29

Camera motion is best

s-j-palmer 2020-10-14 20:26

Great concept and execution, would have loved to see a more seamless transition at the end of the level, but the gameplay, graphics, and feel are awesome

blue-pin-studio 2020-10-14 21:50

Very well made game! Felt good to control and I really like the art/music. Pretty straightforward concept that was hard enough to keep interesting as well, would like to see more levels in the future.

indegame 2020-10-15 03:20

Very nice visuals, and a very polished game. Although the objective was to catching the falling passengers, I did find it was much more enjoyable to speed off and leave them to their doom. The first few times I played it were great, but I did feel there wasn't replayability, but what can you do in a game jam. All in all, very well done!

elbapotsnugg 2020-10-16 02:22

Super fun! Definitely a winner! Love the style and like rollercoaster tycoon, much more fun to send the passengers flying!

bitdecay 2020-10-16 05:23

Very cool idea for the game! It seemed kinda boring to me at first... then I realized the little note about catching guests. I managed to get 8473! The graphics and audio fit together pretty well. Though I wish that you didn't lose the clarity on the coaster cars themselves once you get going quickly. A minor complaint. Great entry overall.

naali 2020-10-16 14:40

Great game. I wasn't sure how to win the game, but it was fun playing.

tannimun 2020-10-17 08:05

Omg the motion sickness, feels like riding a real roller coaster :) Cute little game, fun touch with passengers. Well done

vesk 2020-10-17 08:54

Cool game, not much going on gameplay-wise and I don't think it fits the theme all that well, but the graphics and music kinda make up for it.

whynotyt 2020-10-17 10:41

Ah Yes Motion Sickness Simulator. Loved The game as a whole though.

arbex 2020-10-17 16:08

I'm jealous

vphyre 2020-10-17 19:24

Your game is really fun. I like the mechanics to be on a roller coaster, and that you must control the speed so that you don't lose members hahaha. It is a different type of game, original and creative. The graphics are well-crafted, and the sound is good. In general it is a very pleasant experience.

grand-machin 2020-10-17 20:13

Your game is so fun to play and the design is on point ! Just a little screen seakness for a fragile gamer like me ! but really cool concept and sound design

satolas 2020-10-17 22:59

Sound design is very cool :-) Love the visuals as well ! good job guys

etrealjunior 2020-10-19 07:01

Congratulations on the game, super fun, the art is well done, but what made your game stand out the most was the camera effect, the characters could fall into the cart again, another thing that would stimulate them to continue playing if these dolls caught some item in the air when leaving the cart, as an energy bonus, as there comes a time when the most fun is to throw passengers, congratulations on the project, good luck and a big hug.

asue 2020-10-19 07:03

I love it. The aesthetics of the game is incredible and the idea is great! I find it very hard to catch the passengers flying but that's because I'm not good ahah Well done to the whole team =D

pixelpaw 2020-10-19 11:46

Simple and therefore easy to understand but hard to master - great game. Where exactly is the "loop" aspect though? If it wasnt for the loop theme you could add prodecually generated roller costers.

swiftvector 2020-10-19 13:08

What a well-realised game! This is really well-polished and the design direction is perfect. Would love to see this expanded with more modes post-LD

macmist 2020-10-19 21:55

Nothing to add that has not already been said. Brilliant game, I had a lot of fun playing it!

firetwin 2020-10-20 10:00

Really cool Idea.

All the juice is there for a pleasant visual and audio experience and that just acts as a great foundation for the gameplay itself.

I haven't seen a mechanic like this used before, so for me it's got to be top marks for innovation. The sounds the people make when they are falling are pretty funny xD Probably my favourite aspect of the game. I think it would help if the camera zoomed out to keep track of the people as sometimes they fly offscreen and it becomes hard to predict where they will be.

I hope you turn it into a mobile game. I'm sure it would do well.

xk-the-name 2020-10-20 17:56

Thit game caught my eye because I've made one aztec themed game myself for LD45. I dig the audio and the graphics. Kinda hard to catch those falling dudes though, I couldn't really understand how you're supposed to catch them. Anyways, good job, I approve the aztec aesthetic.

elcinkilic 2020-10-20 18:43

Good job but i think teh camera shouldn't turn with the train...

div00 2020-10-20 22:59

The game graphics, animation, and sound are just brilliant! Loved a lot in this game, even the camera that a lot of people commented about. Well done!

tomhunt 2020-10-21 04:43

Nicely done! Good pixel art. Audio seems well done. The controls were easy enough to get going with and play through the game. I thought the gameplay was pretty unforgiving, but that just kind of played into the theme of the game, so it kind of works and even plays off of it a bit for humor. I couldn't help but lol a bit every time riders would fall out of the cars.

hunttis 2020-10-21 14:31

Holy moly!

This was super fun! :smiley:

Great art, great sounds and music, FUNNY and fun to play. Wow.

@elcinkilic You can turn off the "extreme camera mode" in the main menu. I didn't notice it at first either.

rainyday2800 2020-10-21 17:54

Really creative use of the theme. I think it would be cool if your passengers reset at the end of each level, so you can see how many levels you can pass. Overall this game is a lot of fun and really polished. Thanks for making my fear of roller-coaster even worst!

fatal-exit 2020-10-21 19:44

Probably the best game stylistically I have seen in the jam, music was nice too. I kinda wish the riders would reset after a loop (because once you have lost them all you are doomed) although the game might be too easy then.

felixmcfelix 2020-10-21 20:26

Simple and intuitive gameplay, very stylish. Graphics, music, gameplay clicked together very well. You weren't kidding about the "extreme" camera though, I feel a bit nauseated! Excellent work! Reminded me of all my RCT rides gone horribly wrong.

daniel-alhadeff 2020-10-23 22:22

This is the best Aztec Rollercoaster game I've ever played! But in a seriousness the gameplay, art, and sound effects are really well polished. Great job!

malai 2020-10-25 10:24

Got 3336, awesome sound design! I felt like getting passengers back in any way could have increased the tention, because as soon as you loose all of them it's guaranteed the ride will be over soon, but if you could get a passenger once per loop, you will try to struggle you way through the loop, hoping to make it never end

justcamh 2020-10-25 14:54

Hey, I played your game on stream! And as a matter of fact, it was recommended by the audience, which is something to be very proud of! Here's the vod if you'd like to see what happened; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781363405

Looks great - I can play any VR game and not feel sick at all but unfortunately ten seconds of this I was more than enough! Good job the ability to switch the camera mode is there, but I wasn't even 100% comfortable with that.

Great polished game. I just don't see the theme :D otherwise it's so great! You do repeat the levels tho' so I guess that counts.. :D

Definitely an amazing entry! I found it a little tough when the guys fly off screen because of the camera, but other than that it was really fun!

Dude, the visuals are amazing! The sprites are very unique and the (parallax) backgrounds look absolutely amazing! It's strangely super fun to bounce those passengers up, it's a real challenge to get them back into their carts again though :'D Moreover, the game just plays so smoothly and intuitively! Love this entry! THank you for creating this!

Nice game. The graphics were great. It was fun to go full speed and knock everybody off the ride XD. The polish is amazing too. Good job!
