Hey @meburningslime thanks for playing! I had a couple ideas for this challenge, but not much time and re-creating the classic CARNIVAL seemed the easiest. I agree about the difficulty and ammo situation. It is possible to win, but it takes patience and precision. Plus all carnival games are rigged to be lost anyway. lolol. I had planned to add an EXTRA AMMO target to hit to get more shots, but I scrapped the mechanic because I couldn’t get it to work immediately and I had to go do other things.
I enjoyed the challenge and definitely learned some things about consistent spacing between moving objects. It was also fun to not rely on my art, but actually focus on mechanics. All told, I think i spent about 5 hours on this including knocking out the chip tune version of Sobre las Olas for the music.
I’ll try to participate in the 3-D challenge. I’ve done a 3-D hallway in the past, but it was clunky and I couldn’t figure out how to do anything with it. I have some new ideas for this challenge. Maybe something like Space Harrier, or After Burner but with LASERS! I guess we’ll see in two weeks.
is this still a flowlab challenge? i was sure that you couldn’t make 3d games on flowlab.
The only 3d games I’ve made are with godot.
nevermind i think i understand. i looked at todorrobot’s yellow hallway and i think i get it now.
i had an idea for something like this a little while ago so this should be fun.
(btw @meburningslime your links showed up on my screen after i wrote this )
@meburningslime where’s the game you said you were halfway done with?
How is the development working @“The Kodex” @F3Art @todorrobot ???
Have not had a chance yet. Maybe when I am next on a laptop or something. Sorry, but I really will try to do this at son point @meburningslime
Ive done a first proof of concept test but its still pretty janky. Hoping to put some more into it today.
i made kind of a 3d looking hallway by just making the sprite bigger as you press w and make it smaller when you press s. you can also shoot at the monster.

Dang. I really need to hop on a laptop. I actually want to do this challenge…
Im on track to have something put together for this. Entries are due next Monday?
Hey @meburningslime when are these due? Im hoping to wrap mine up today but might add some extra details if I have a bit of time. Having fun with this one for sure.
Ok. @meburningslime I’m calling this one done.

It’s definitely buggy, and the collisions don’t always act the way I want them to, and I can’t get rid of the weird music loop at the beginning if you try to skip the intro or the sfx loop when you die at the end. Also, you can’t win, you can only last until you die. Definitely learned some tricks on this one, but could do a lot more with more time and desire.
@todorrobot Your game is awesome. I bet you worked a long time on this. And did you make all the art inside of flowlab? It’s all really detailed.
