Tunnel Hunt, this game might make you sick.

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 03:14 AM

For real. I just played it to set a score and I actually felt dizzy when I was done. Really cool effect for such limited graphics.
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Tunnel Hunt
Remember I warned you.

Arg! I can't find the game I wanted you to play! It is a rally game with a bird's eye view where the instead of turning the car, the track spins left and right. It's brutally dizzying. The game you posted didn't really make me feel sick or anything. It just annoyed the hell out of me. How ever did you manage to get over 9k?

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 03:12 PM

I'm surprised there's only one reply to this so far. It may not make you dizzy but it's hard to deny it's a weird game at least.

I didn't think 9k was a high score. I just focused on the tunnel and shot at stuff.

**joz** · 04-20-2011, 03:24 PM

Well it took me a moment to figure out what to do. I just could hit the damn green and red things flying at me. I would probably score higher, but I don't think I'm willing to play that again.

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 03:31 PM

Yeah I kinda figured that people wouldn't like the game. I wanted to post it because I thought it was kinda unique and might spark some conversation, but I guess not so much. But if you and I keep posting in this topic people are bound to pay more attention right?

**joz** · 04-20-2011, 03:34 PM

Probably not. I don't mind talking with you about the game though. I just might play it if you're willing to compete with me on it.

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 03:35 PM

I'll try it again after I eat something. I have a feeling it would make me really sick on an empty stomach and I don't wanna start dry heaving over a game.

**RU Joe** · 04-20-2011, 03:54 PM

Try Katamari Damacy !

**joz** · 04-20-2011, 04:07 PM

Hmm... I'll read that when I get home.

**RU Joe** · 04-20-2011, 04:10 PM

^ If you mean my review, Joz, please forgive me for neglecting to mention that the object you are rolling up in the game is the Katamari.
I know, it's lame that I forgot to say that but better late than never!

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 04:15 PM

I always wanted to try that game but never got the chance. Do you think the motion sickness is comparable to Tunnel Hunt?

**joz** · 04-20-2011, 04:16 PM

Fascinating

**RU Joe** · 04-20-2011, 04:24 PM

I can't compare it to Tunnel Hunt right now because I'm still locked out of non - Java game modes, but yes, KD did make me feel sick; no other game, no matter how gory or environment - spinning ever made me feel that way.

It has to do with the background focus, and since I'm no graphics expert I can't describe it any better than that.
You know how we have that small circle our eyes clearly focus on, and the rest of our field of vision is sort of 'blurry'?
{where your eyes are not directed at the moment}
It's like that.

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 04:29 PM

I bet they purposely made it like that. The game is already so damn weird why not make people sick?

I understand what you mean, but it seems to be a side - effect of a rather well - done visual.
It's a unique game, lots of fun and challenging too, but like I said in my review it's best taken in small doses.

I can't see it being purposefully designed to make people sick, though.
{despite the fact I believe many other seemingly benign things are}

**Dudebro** · 04-20-2011, 04:47 PM

I don't mean maliciously. What I'm saying is they probably purposely went for a crazy background despite knowing it might make some people sick. I doubt they thought the game was going to have mass appeal anyways so the effect would be minimal. Just a guess though.

**Thunderlips** · 04-20-2011, 11:30 PM

I played it just for you D.B. Tie Fighters in an endless tunnel. I kept waiting to blast out into open space but no...........

**Dudebro** · 04-21-2011, 01:01 AM

I just had a really good run. I think I got 30k in the first life. The tunnel was moving so fast I could barely keep up. After the first death it was downhill from there but it was enough to beat you Thunderlips.

I guess you were right yet again...and you actually got someone to play with.

I give up.

this game is making my head hurt. I don't know how you two can do it. What settings do you guys adjust your analog speeds?

**Tails** · 04-21-2011, 08:32 AM

I'm not even gonna try it, prolly will hurt me more than the 3db

Whatever setting my 360 controller is, dunno.

Is the motion locking a glitch or is it intentional?

The first direction I move my canon towards: my aim always has a heavy pull towards this direction. Is this normal?

**Dudebro** · 04-21-2011, 04:17 PM

Honestly I don't understand the motion thing but I know you have to avoid the walls or your hull starts to overheat.

I've noticed that flying near the walls makes you slow down. Nothing else makes you overheat (that I know of) so I figure that it's somewhat advantageous to fly next to the walls in brief periods.

I have the same problem and it really irritates the hell out of me.
