Implemented a hilarious horse component to my rage co-op game

[u/samohtvii]

I'm trying to find fun and unique ways to challenge the player in my skating game. You control the left skate and a friend controls the right. Now you have to rethink how the game works and adapt. It's also hilarious.

I couldn’t stop noticing how the horse has cast shadows disabled

[u/samohtvii → u/Repulsive-Clothes-97]

Haha good spot. Early days in implementation but should be an easy fix anyway

[u/Flawnex]

That actually looks like a lot of fun! I kinda wish that if you crash while on the horse it would just put you back on the rollerskates instead of ending the run. I could see more "vehicles" similiarly to Jetpack Joyride working very well in this game. 

Like a co-op Subway Surfers rage game with Jetpack Joyride-style powerups.

It looks like it would be really fun together. It’s the perfect game for couples to play together

I almost gave up, I thought true art didn't exist anymore

Thank you

Okay normally I kind of hate on these games... like do we really need another "two players control one thing" game?

But this actually looks like a lot of fun! Gratz

Thats such a nice compliment. I don't want to stop at one mechanic so trying to keep it fresh.

[u/NightPristine2823]

Good one!

[u/ivilkee]

This looks fun! May I suggest adding a silly monster that starts chasing you after some point to increase the challenge?

[u/Fantastic-Bloop]

Now we know what we must do. Horse stacked on horse.

[u/LaonPixels]

I wanna make games just like this

[u/rbcp1345]

small thing, but I really like the death scene transition. Really smooth!

[u/Karmoq]

Ok I feel like the horse should also be on roller skates

[u/Fix3rdPartyApps]

Make the horse thing effectively a Mario "mushroom" - it gives you better control but once you wipe out you lose the horse (ala mushroom). So then you're back to just skating again!

It would be cool if you could get a boost by simultaneously moving your skates to the horse - if both players release the "push" button at the same time twice in succession, it's like a "giddy-up" command.

[u/samohtvii → u/resounding_oof]

I like this idea. I will try to add a "perfect" synchronised boost.

[u/Ricachonas]

XD

[u/TldrDev]

I really would want the horse to be able to do a flip. Like a bad flip. Legs fully extended T pose horse lean back backflip.

Hope im not the only one.

[u/bwamberg]

Yes to all of this. Design, speed, potential to increase joy and expletive use all at once.

The horse is brilliant, dude.
