That was unique, this is the first game show I've played during the jam!
The transition from the main menu to the game and back out again was very smooth too, nicely done!
this was interesting!! the voice acting had a nice flair to it! i'd suggesting having an option to skip through voice lines during trivia because some players read faster than the voice speaks, but thats just personal preference :3
Very hard lol, tho I did have fun playing this!
Also this game reminds me of Jackbox games good job!
We definitely had a hard time with this one, haha, trivia isn’t our strongest suit (at least for most of us), so we ended up dying a lot! Still, it was really fun, and we loved the voice acting!
Our only suggestion would be to add a bit more visually? maybe some small animations or effects while waiting for the host to ask or reveal questions. It’d help keep the energy up during those pauses.
We also ran into a small visual bug when dying and trying to leave:
That said, for the time limit, this was really well done! And huge props for doing something unique, we haven’t seen any other trivia-based games in the jam. Great work!
Yeah, there was so musch that I wanted to do visually, however I wanted to get the gamplay down pat first and do the rest of the visuals once the game was complete however I just ran out of time.
Ah, that happens! We had a whole plan for puzzles and cutscenes too, but time got us in the end, haha. Still, it’s always better to have a game that’s mechanically solid than just a visual mess!
Either way, Great work overall! <3
Loved the intro and nicely done.
Interesting game + left you some feedback on your comment in our post:
/jam/jamsepticeye/topic/5402388/we-need-more-games-more-feedback-...
would love if you checked out our game, no pressure though
I played and rated your game previously, but Norman gave it a whirl and he's feeling more confused but a lot happier!! Thankyou for helping norman❤️!
Ooooo nice trivia questions, and the voice acting was great too!
I got to the 5th question! I think if you let us select the answer while the host is talking it would let us play smoother! As it is it takes a long time to get back to where you were.
Also I would suggest starting with easier questions haha.
Gotta be honest, I tried, I really tried, I'm a big dumb dumb though, trivia is hard! but the whole experience was still Stella, thank you!
good show, always tune in to watch ol barry
what else is death for after all if not an opportunity to win the big bucks!
i entered and was immediately booed my way out (answered te first question wrong)
very fun game!
nice work, those are some hard questions though, think I need to expand my mind beyond gamedev :)
Real quick, In your game how do you put a little guy down once you've picked it up? Also, how do you succesfully place it in a room?
Ah there is an interact spot on the room doors, you can put him there, this will assign him to that room
The voice acting was amazing. I really felt like I was on a gameshow when the door first opened, The concept is minimal yet simple. Some of the questions threw me off and I had to google them, even with that I still failed on the mythology question! very simple concept but a good game nonetheless!
Voice acting was top notch and the concept of a death game show is really fun! Great work!
Had a great start! I really liked the voice acting, honestly some of the better I've heard yet. Future development, I would love to be able to click the answer before the list finished reading off rather than listening to it, for goobers like me who went through multiple times!
Absolutely, I had the same experience myself while playtesting the game!
I'm excited for you to tinker more with the game! I think it's got great potential and I'd love to see what it becomes.
Well that's one way to get humbled I guess lol!
Great voice acting!
I was NOT expecting to be the dead player the host was talking about, nice touch! I do wish there were subtitles or maybe a cut scene of sorts while he’s talking. I did NOT make it to the big bucks, but it’s a interesting game loop!
Thanks! Unfortunately, there were a lot of things that I wanted to add to the game but there wasn't really alot of time to do that since I had my birthday, my Mom's birthday, and my Grandmother's birthday all happening during the same weekend that the jam started. I was thinking that maybe after the jam as a whole is finished I might go back to it and add everything I ran out of time for.
Really well done!
I was not expecting the voice acting! Really added to the vibe ♥
Loved the voice acting! May or may not have searched up some of the answers for the trivia haha Great work!
Hah that's okay, just be glad I ran out of time to implement a time limit mechanic ;)
