Sup guys.

I made this game in 30 minutes and decided to make it public cause I was bored and for some reason people started playing it idk why lol. it peaked at 6 players without advertisements or social media within 30 minutes of making it public. (3 of them were my friends and i) 30 minutes for this trash?!? he must not be pro! yea im pretty bad at developing.

yes its buggy.
yes its glitchy.
yes the trowel is a free model.
yes the background music is annoying and u cant turn it off. just turn ur volume off noob.

Here’s the link if u want.

It’s like an obstacle course but u get to the end using a trowel instead of OBBY KIT NO VIRUS 2021. this also allows me to be more lazy and not make the actual obby.

I already know someone gonna take this idea or already used it idk lol. that’s why i open sourced it for someone for them to work on it in case that does happen. either way i dont really care lol.
(if u steal the idea cause u thinks its epic itd be cool if u credit me literally anywhere lol)

  • if u do steal the idea and make big game off of it u are ugly

What i know:

  • yes i know u can abuse trowel at spawn lol
  • bomb at the end doesnt work cause im too lazy to add it
  • the death sound plays globally so everyone can hear. i know its annoying.

k thanks.

btw tell me if this is a good idea and i should actually make it into a game or something. for now its just a little game i made cause i was procrastinating so i dont have to write my english essay thats due tomorrow morning.

edit: why are there 6 edits? shut up im a perfectionist.

You list bugs but I think the main issue is the concept doesn’t look very fun to me. Mixed with the long cooldowns and little reward for actually finishing it doesn’t really satisfy me in any way.

Both of those could be fixed on a level of technicality but I’m not sure if that would be enough to really get it going.

But if you really believe in yourself you shouldn’t listen to me.

Yea I know what you mean. I kinda’ just went with the flow of making a random game, and if i actually made it into a game, would add little events inside of the game, with a more rewarding ‘reward’.

events like, all the parts are slippery for 30 seconds, or its raining bombs for 15 seconds.

rewards like, coins to purchase in-game items or something.

if i were to actually make it into a game, i feel like it’d be way more fun with a full server rather than by yourself. thats kinda the mindset i had when making it.

thank you for your feedback. :slightly_smiling_face:

There’s a video by Tom Scott where he says these sort of small ideas have as much chance to succeed as an idea you’ve worked on for months, but that it can take maybe even hundreds of small ideas till you find that one really cool idea.

So even if this goes sour, use that mindset to keep coming up with new ideas and one day you’ll find that one which could perhaps even change your life for the better.
