Spooky Vibes are on point, and the main mechanics are interesting!

A nice well put together game. I like the cinematography and style. Its an excellent use of the carnival and it's creepy vibe. I think it'd look great if you'd remove the PS1ification, it doesn't add to this.

You're probably right! I think I was worried that because the carnival pack was on sale at the start of the jam, that my game would look like a lot of the others. I appreciate you trying it out though.

Ok, a lot to love here. First of all, the background of your page matching the hypno image when the embed was centered was a really nice touch. The simple choice of spinning for yourself or the other contestant really made this game, imo. The minigames were a fun way to earn more tickets. I've always wondered how the psx horror pixel post processing is done, I'll have to look into it. Well done, loved it!

First of all, I had to check this out when I saw we have the same name hehe. The wheel mechanic looks really fun, especially being able to use it against your opponent. I also really like the creepy carnival vibe, it fits the game perfectly. Great job!

At first I didn't quite get what was going on, but once I started exploring the map, it completely hooked me. The map design is insanely cool, and I really loved all the different minigames scattered around. Super fun experience once you dive into it!

That was fun, exploring the carnival with all the minigames but also the main game. While it was up to luck for the most part, I enjoyed being able to manipulate or choose who gets to spin. 

Also the shader really added to the atmosphere, well done :D

This kept me so engrossed. I played this for a long ass time. Amazing work with the atmosphere and tiny mechanics.
My fav part was the shop experience every item felt so important!😁

First playthrough I was knocked out very fast but it has good replayability and I kept going back for more
