That was Challenging But I Beat it. 5/5

Nice, I think you are one of the first to beat it. Thanks for playing and for the video! 👍👍

I'm the one for Now. :)

Feedback:
Fui a interactuar con la radio, hice click sin ver el poster y se me puso la pantalla en rojo, pensé que había perdido. No llegué a ver el poster. La siguiente escena con objetos random esparcidos no tiene buen diseño de nivel. Empecé a recorrer sin saber para donde ir. No encontré un solo poster. Los props del mapa tenian colisiones demasiado espaciosas. Llegué al borde del mapa y se veia el vacio. No encontré un solo poster. El payaso me mató sin que lo vea. Cuando lo vi apenas reacciono dando un par de pasos y se aburrio. Nunca supe para donde ir. El mapa estámuy vacio.

Muchas gracias por el feedback tan detallado 👍

¿Te aparecieron las carpas? Pregunto por las dudas porque vi que en el gameplay que subieron por aca no cargaban los modelos de las carpas tampoco.

Habia diseñado las carpas como elemento para guiar en donde hay que ir a buscar los posters pero capaz no alcanzó con eso, capaz conviene poner caminos también para reforzar el level design. 

Respecto al payaso, opino que probablemente tenga que meter más feedback visual al momento que te va a perseguir como para dar tiempo a reaccionar.

Y la decoración tambien es un punto a mejora, tengo ganas de llenar más el mapa para que se sienta más vivo. Se me ocurre meter guirnaldas y luces de momento pero estoy abierto a ideas.

Respecto al mapa te diria que agregues algo en la periferia para que no puedas acceder a ver los bordes, ya sea arboles, cercas, o aunque sea unas barras como de jaula o una carpa gigante.

Ahi vi el gameplay que decias y se veia como el mio, no habia carpas. Tiene sentido que hubiese carpas que no podia ver, fijate si lo podes solucionar porque es bastante gamebreaking.

Respecto al payaso, no sé si usás spawn points o qué, pero yo haría que no pueda spawnear cerca del jugador. Además que tenga una animación y audio mientras aparece donde no te puede agarrar para señalizar al jugador uqe es momento de correr pero dar tiempo de reconocer donde está la amenaza.

Buenas, ahi solucioné el tema de las carpas.

Respecto al payaso, estoy preparando una nueva version en la que haga un sonido al aparecer para avisarte de que esta cerca o te esta por perseguir. Además le voy a poner que aparezca un poco más lejos del jugador.

Gracias por el feedback.

Hey, thanks for making a video about the game! 🙌

It seems none of the circus tents were loading. That was already fixed in case of you want to check it out again.

Wow, this scared me a lot, because I have fear of clowns. Since I was a kid, I was always afraid of the circus and performers and this game scared me. The assets are great in this and my favorite part was the balloon's area. Great job!

Hey, thanks for playing. Glad you like it and hope it helped you deal with that. As a kid I had the same fear as you, my parents even had to take me away from a performance since I couldn't stop crying at the mere presence of clowns.
