Build v1.2 Notes

Our current build is a product of the team overhauling all of our previous hackathon assets and scripts. It currently does not have certain planned functionality in place that you may have seen in previous builds. While there may be buttons leading to some of these things, they currently are not active. This includes:

• Twitch integration where a streamer's audience can participate in the game
• Options

Currently, this build has a rough introductory cut scene and a gameplay level where players can perform our core mechanics: driving and shooting. Don't worry, the team is actively working on getting these things in and they'll be out soon!

Summer Turned Spooky

Tommy, Dana, Padma, Shane, and their dog Jam have been friends since their first day at college ever since they discovered their shared love for the strange and supernatural. Now, it's the summer before their last year together and these friends are trying to make the most of their final moments with a camping trip to prove that cryptids and ghosts are real. Their night takes a turn for the worst when a dark, mystical figure named the Hand Hook Car Man ambushes the group, transfers their souls into their spirit van, and steals their bodies. 

Scare Parts

Scare Parts is a 2D action shooter where you and your friends' souls are combined with your spirit-hunting van by the mysterious Hand Hook Car Man. Chase after him through rough roads and defeat his spirit minions to get your bodies back and stop him from wrecking more havoc.

Controls

• A and D to move the car left and right
• LEFT CLICK to shoot energy

The Team & History

Hand Hook Car Man Fan Club is made up of a collection of students from the Rochester Institute of Technology. While not all knowing each other at the start of the project, we came together under one goal: to make a game that makes people happy and brings people together to have fun.

Scare Parts started as a project for Wolfjaw's Wolfjam 2024 Hackathon. After winning the Nexus.gg Award and receiving public interest, our team decided to continue development. Thanks for playing our game, and we hope you continue to ride with us!
