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
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!
>Be me
>Host has 1 card plus tower
>No one has util, 4 redraws remaining
>Flip a redraw
>Flip a redraw

>Last card is a normal
>Host doesn't flip the last redraw
>Die
💀
good bro
this is litterally every friday dude or am i just weird
freaky friday
amazing game, I won on normal mode with a great strategy:
save a crowbar, and steal a gas can if he has one, then if he has a card that makes him choose another, when he extinguishes one card and its specifically that card.
I let him die brutally
:D
oh does the itch version of the game not load on ur phone?
I loved it and Wishlisted it on Steam! Really looking forward to the full release!
thanks for wishlisting!
I need Caseoh to play this
dude i kept like a caseoh bingo card around the height of Arsonate's popularity.
I think he played just about every other game in top-10 but Arsonate somehow.
Mind you, Arsonate was on the front page of itch at the time as well.
I'd be suprised if he suddenly found it at this point.
idea for a secret ending
(i suck at drawing hands)
love the game but the host pulls WAY too many crowbars. it feels like the Host has a 50% crowbar pull rate.
second note, the gasoline and crowbar as the best pulls with extinguished being a close second. the axe and telescope need a buff to be balanced out.
also this would be really cool as a 4player game, with each player needing to way the odds on using their utilities.
so true
I loved the idea of this and see really great potential for it, especially with the versatility of card games. Can't wait to see you expand on it.
I beat both gamemodes without dying once. cool game tho, just easy af.
