A New Contender? (Multiplayer Teaser)
Esto es lo mejor para otmar en cuenta en el sentido que es super intimadante el rival.
7.7/10 - An exciting demo inspired by Buckshot and a few other games, (15 mins per playthrough, 30 mins played), this was a really fun experience as it's heavily inspired by buckshot roulette's mechanics but it definitely switches itself up to be something unique. It also takes slight inspiration from inscryption and a few other card games.
This game does take 1/2 playthroughs to adjust to the mechanics but once everything clicks you'll understand what everything does and how to play the game properly. I ended up beating the game on normal on my second go which was an exhilarating experience with myself being punished heavily at times and me doing the punishing aswell!
I do think the game is slightly unbalanced with the crowbar being a slightly overpowered weapon. I wish there was one more card type and more items added in for variety but I'm presuming these will be added in the full game.
Overall this was a great experience with the visuals being really well done, the sub story catching my attention and the gameplay being great. I'm excited to see what the game will be, how the story will be expanded on and I loved the little twist when you beat the game!
The game is cooked!
You should make this a real card game.
FIRE!!! (obviously)
love the game
This is one of the best I've ever played.
OMG FREAKING FIRE
LOVED THIS 🔥
The soundtrack, the animations, the gameplay, the atmosphere. Everything delivered.The gameplay is simple and repetitive, but addicting. And the randomization of the utilities helps it not feel too stale. And I appreciated that our AI opponent played like he actually wanted to win lol
I'm hoping for more utilities, more opponents, and more high stakes environments in the full game!
how many of every utilities are there? is there a number or its random?
24 he says it in everygame
i mean, how much of each one, you know? but i just win a game that gives me full arson so... i guess there is not a limit, its just random
there's no fixed amount for any utility type.
however, the game will not deliver you a 3rd hatchet, spyglass, or crowbar.
jugar cartas con un piromano?... reto aceptado!! pasa a ver mi gameplay completo y en español!!
the animations get me bro
Настольные игры переехали в виртуальный мир.
As a huge fan of "Buckshot Roulette" -- ARSONATE brings "grit" and "badass" to the table with violent, throw shit, break shit violence -- engulfing you into its world and making you feel the severity of what's at stake.
Love this game.
Guys, I made a game simillar to this one. Still a bit simple, but i intend to add more features down the line. Come check it out:

this was a very fun ngl would recement to a friend
It's a very unique fun game. I enjoyed myself...short but very fun
COOL
I LOVE IT!! i just played it and its awesome!!! :D
I liked
haven't played quite yet but i just love the visual style and animation! it definitely looks like buckshot roulettes style, and I mean that very kindly of course. Its impressive to make it look so good like you do, and im excited to play, it looks great.
glad to hear that i pulled it off
ah i played it so many days ago, i remember having fun despite losing lol, great job guys
awesome
This is one of my favorite itch games its similar to buckshot yet so different, and something i have wished for so long for both games is MULTIPLAYER, imagine playing this with a friend getting to look at a custom made avatar it would be so cool. PLEASE, IM BEGGING T-T, functional multiplayer would be a big selling point for me, imagine the infinite replayability like (usually very boring games, but fun with friends) lethal company or among us, these games are boring alone or with random people but with friends would make this games SO MUCH MORE FUN.
Edit: hold up now that i reload the game i see a online vs, please ignore this comment lmfao
eventually
I really like the game,it was amazing! the desing and the idea was incredible! Btw,a simple question,how you make the camera move like the one in buckshot roulette? I was planning to do one but I dont know how or how search for that type of camera
i kinda tell the camera to just:
"transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, target.position, 0.125f)"
or something like that.
to make it easier, i just have deactivated cameras setup around the scene and tell the main camera to copy and lerp to their positions and rotations.
This was amazing. I won on my first attempt on normal mode and it felt just like buckshot. Keep up the great work man
thanks!
Tell your host to stay out of my den.

P.S great demo btw, keen to check out the full release.
be sure to wishlist!
Indeed. Already have 😈
this game has the same feeling of buckshot roulette and I love it
this is just every friday for me idk if thats normal
freaky friday
love the game the idea of you traped in a fire tower is great
this game it's litteraly fire.
i really liked it.
i would like to know the stats on both the player and the hosts pull rate on items. so far i have found a 90% chance the host will get a crowbar if you pull a gas can or extinguisher. Even on fair play the host seems to always pull at this rate.
For balancing reasons i think no player should be able to have more than one crowbar at a time and crowbars shouldn't be able to be used on the turn you pull them.
on fair mode, pull rates are always equal between players. There is a 2 hatchet limit and 2 spyglass limit.
on normal mode, the host will start getting more advantageous pulls if the player gets too far ahead.
I really think there should be different odds for each item as the Hatchet and Spyglass don't give that much of an advantage, where the Extinguisher cancels your turn and the gas can cancels your turn and puts your opponent one turn behind.
Perhaps the hatchet needs some alternate function?
and i stand by Crowbars should be usable only when other utilities are not when you pull them.
and lastly, 4 player mode. This would be awesome to play with 4 players as each would need to think about using their items.
can someone tell me a strat for this game, he keeps stilling my items then i lose whenever i play normal mod
-There is a 2 hatchet limit and a 2 spyglass limit.
keep 2 of each in ur inventory and you'll always pull something else.
-Host will never steal a spyglass unless he has a hatchet or arson to use it with.
-Host will never steal a hatchet unless he has a spyglass.
-Sabotage the fire extinguisher by filling the graveyard with redraws when possible. Always track the graveyard.
-On Normal mode, try to stay mostly even with the host because he'll begin cheating if you get too far ahead of him.
I love this game ambience, the buckshot roullette ambience in general is a thing that i wish to be implemented in other games, and your game did it in a great way!
The card game is simple and yet very complex at the same time (if you want be an extreme nerd), the fact that you can still win with only your tower up is impressive and terrifying.
Great demo! Continue this, i would love to buy this game!
thx! i would love people to buy this game!
