Mini-Game Competition #8, Graveyard Shift

How does that relate to dark, zombies or Halloween at all?

You completely skipped over that part.

Yeah but isn't the majority of it supposed to be dark? It's a pizza game. o.O

Well, the last three levels will have you venturing graveyards and braving Bowser's castles to deliver this stuff to Toad. Besides, I think there were some cliched horror scenarios where the pizza delivery guy was like in trouble or something, I don't remember.

But know this, I'm adding stuff so as not to completely stray from the theme of this competition (:

I meant original ideas and concepts, and your perspective on the theme.

Some screenies of what's been done so far.

A Level

Put the kiddies to bed (RE takeoff :p)

Wario notices he is not alone

Bad choice

You are dead. (Another RE takeoff!)

geeze. now I'm going to lose for sure.

To clear up any confusion, it doesn't have to have a Halloween theme. It can simply take place at night.

...What? o.O You said Graveyard Shift.



That's too much of an open topic then.

Woahwoahwoah. What IS the topic then?

Graveyard shift doesn't necessarily relate to actual graveyards and whatnot. It's simply the late night hours, like upward of 12:00 midnight.

...



Well that was a horribly misleading title. Mine's ALL about Halloween.














asdfasdfs Damnit.



I still don't get it. He's saying it's for night time but he's also saying it's for Scary levels.

In fact, he even commented that it was too early for halloween so what was he going for? He's stated or at least suggested both.

Yeah, I admit the title's a bit misleading, but he did say it didn't necessarily have to be a nighttime game, but the scenarios had to be at least dark, which relates to things like caves, castles, outer space, black holes, and the like. The nighttime thing was just to get some ideas going I suppose.

But yeah, as long as it's not all daytime or sunny and crap as per usual in Mario games, then it's alright.

Okay how about just a scary game topic since it is getting close (or will be by the end of this) to halloween. I know pucifur's is about zombies.

And since it was confusing any enteries started for a night time compo or something like that can count as well as long as they were started before this.

Mario Gamer, please re-read the first post.

The "scary/Halloween" stuff is implied, but not part of the actual guidelines. It only has to be dark (and in a literal sense, not dark as in depressing or morbid, if that's what's confusing people). A Halloween game is perfectly fine, as long as it follows those guidelines.

How about this, since the competition ends on the 6th, the next minigame competition can end just in time for Halloween?

A little bit about my entry:
It will be a Luigi's Mansion-ish mini game.
You control Luigi with the arrow keys and a flash light with the mouse.
You have to suck in the ghosts, but you have to weaken them before.
So for the easiest, you have to catch him with the flash light and then follow him until his HP reach 0.
Then you suck him in.

So far I plan these functions of the Poltergust:
Suck, Blow, Fire and Ice.

Oh, and I've never played Luigi's Mansion before, so it won't be like the original game.

Only if this is completely confirmed will I agree to hold off our game.

Man, that time flew by. Anyway, Yoshiman and myself have both been much more busy then expected with School getting into gear and we wanted to know if there could be a five or six day extension to this. Maybe since there are only a one or two entries done so far?

Wow, I had totally forgotten that this thread was still stickied...

I could extend the topic until October 31st and allow all Halloween games, unless people have a problem with the topic being up for that long. Otherwise I'll just give it the usual week-long extension.
