Arcade Park Islands: Rides & Minigames

Next Fest Demo Update – Easier to explore, more to discover!

Adem Kaya (Rocky)

Hi everyone!

Steam Next Fest starts today – and I've updated the demo based on your playtest feedback.

What's new

  • New "Discover" checklist: see which attractions are waiting on each island and tick them off as you find them
  • New signposts and a pier gate showing the way to the boat and the islands
  • Shorter, clearer welcome texts in the menu and on the laptop
  • Attractions that are full version only are now clearly marked
  • Arcade hall: the concept games now have their own sign – vote in the Steam discussions for which 3 I should develop further!
  • High Tower ride now always starts from the beginning
  • Air Hockey: press SPACE to reset a stuck puck
  • Duck Hunt and claw machine rebalanced

What's in the demo

  • Main Park: Duck Hunt, Balloon Darts, High Striker, the fortune teller, the robot show in the circus tent, the zeppelin ride and all rides
  • Dino Park: Dino Hunt Coaster, Dino Feed Rage
  • Pirate Island: Bots & Bottles, Cannon Frenzy

Coming with the full game: Air Wheel, Coconut Blaster, Dino Egg Hunt, Dino Bumper, Dino Shock Egg, Kraken Blaster, Walk the Plank and Treasure Hunter.

Thanks a lot to everyone who tested and gave feedback – it really helps!

Have fun at the park! Rocky
