that was a sweet game and kind of hard :-D

That's what this game jam lacks. Flying coffins simulator with football elements!

Enjoyed the game, well done :)

this is a funny idea for a game! it was quite challenging. good work :)

This was really amusing. I only got one ghoal, but it was a very interesting play experience. Fun music too. I hated the pesky TVs. Nice use of the theme.

I wasted half my time trying to run into crosses and monuments, not understanding that they weren't "graves".

This was a very interesting concept.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, a relative said the same about the graves. They'd played an earlier cut that didn't have all the extra crosses and things when it was a lot clearer and noticed a big difference in understanding, and difficulty. I think it's just a case of working out what's the best way to highlight it to users - quick tutorial, lighting effects, arrows, etc. I'm thinking I'm going to use the obstacles as one way to add to the difficulty level.

I think just a picture of the graves that count in the instructions would be enough.

I really like the mechanics of the game and the skeleton in the coffin car also like the music. Can you also give feedback for my game?

Developer

Hey, thanks Nikolas. The music is interesting, I've never tried to make an upbeat spooky theme before.. I am interested to see how that scores! And feedback returned on your game, hope the jam goes well for you.

Woohoo I scored 3 ghoals - loved the mechanics and glowing skeleton in the coffin and hated those pesky T.V.s in a good way.  Nice game.

Developer

Thanks so much :) Enjoyed your game too!

I love the concept, its quite creative. Didn't even considered I would see a football(soccer) inspired game.
Took me a sec to find what I had to do but when I got it the game became fun.
The game seems to slow down a bit just before it ends I'm assuming a lot of things happen behind the scenes, but since its the end of the game it doesn't really matter.

If you get around to work some more on the game I would recommend adding some arrows on top of the tombstones (pointing down, mby even hovering). That would help newbies get the hang of things faster.

Well done!
The TV jumping around feels like a dog XD

Developer

Hey, thanks for popping by. Yeah, in jams, expect anything! The game slow down at the end was intentional.. I think it was a trick they did in Pirates! at the end the ballroom games, to fit with the music but also wind you down after the intensity of the game (ballroom dancing intense? Lol!). Guidance of some kind would be good, I can see how it's not obvious what you have to do.

HEY! Great idea it works really well! however i found the objective really unclear! and i feel its too balnd the idea is great however ui feel it  could have been better executed. howver for a jam i compltly undertstand! Great effort and i love the creativness!

Developer

Hi.. thanks for the comment. It's quite the catch 22 explaining a game well in the time you have. I wasn't going for anything megacomplex, though, just how many can you score in the time you're given. I didn't think "kickabout" and "dribbling" would translate very well in all regions. In the UK it's about football.

haha ye it's alr you know? well done I did like it!

The controls could definitely use some work (Especially when going backwards and turning), but there's some potential with the idea. Combine something like this with a horde survival, and you got something.

Developer(+1)

Yeah.. I think the suspension needs looking at, ectoplasm must be leaking! I used Unity's wheel rigs in a previous game, and they are a lot more flexible. I think this has a cylinder collider underneath it so it's a glorified brick and I had to flatten all the land out to get it to work. But I liked how you have to line up to get the best run at the pumpkin, might help kids with angles or something educational like that! Thanks for playing!

I know it is a coffin so I cant expect a finely-tuned drift machine but I think the coffin could've done with a handbrake and maybe even a boost. I think it was a really out-there take for the jam! Would be good to see more levels!

Developer

Thanks for your comments.. great ideas! I was wondering about what the powerups/downs could be if I added them. Boosts can be a laugh, except if you're in a precision area, great balancer.

A tv literally stole my pumpkin and ran off with it. 10/10, would tokyo drift in a coffin again.

Awesome game :) I think maybe different levels between scoring a certain number of goals would make it more fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, when those TV's aren't lost in the graveyard, they get real pesky! Definitely increasing difficulty sounds the way to go.
