The Haunted Mansion - Score Challenge

Archive: 4 posts


Yep, this has been something I have been doing more for fun while creating Sunset Plateau. It began as a sort of funny thing my friend and I were working on, but I decided to make it user-friendly and publish it. The level features a dark mansion for you to run around in while defeating zombies with paintinators. The player responsible for the final blow to the zombie will be awarded 100 points. Additionally, bonus stars will spawn randomly throughout the mansion and will reward 1000 points to the player to find it. The bonus stars not only encourage the player to explore the mansion, but prevents camping or something similar, as you rack up the most points from finding stars. Occasionally, the power goes out, leaving the mansion pitch-black dark and disabling bounce pads for several seconds. The level lasts 10 minutes at a time.

After much testing, the amount of zombies will now scale depending on the amount of players, meaning if you are rolling solo, you shouldn't get more than you can handle, yet it stays interesting with more players.

The Haunted Mansion plays best in single player or online multiplayer. Local multiplayer works too, but the respawn system is strange since the players share one screen. Nevertheless, it's fun to play with several people!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as this is my first true multiplayer level. I'll play your levels as well when I get the time. Thanks, and enjoy!

Hi,

Just had a 10 min play on your level, thought it was nicely set out with some nice visuals, I played a 1 player game on the hunt for bonuses but I'm sure a multiplayer would be great!

I liked the way the the lightning was the only light in some areas, which added to the atmosphere.. and as I found out you can run out of ammo! Arrgghh ...run!

At one point there was around 25 zombies waiting below all lined up!

Great stuff overall,

Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely play your level when I get the chance. I think the fact I put "score challenge" at the end of the title is driving some people away, but I think it really is more than a score challenge. The first time I saw one of my friends explore the mansion was priceless. And yes, the zombies tend to build up on the bottom if you don't go down there regularly, I think I'll try to limit them. Thanks again!2011-06-15 17:30:00
