If any devs are reading this. Can you add an toggle in the options to remove the jumpscares in "Don't Make a Sound"

[jellycave]

Like, replace it with the falling in a pit screen but still keep the level gimmick. I hate jumpscares as they trigger a panic attack to me. Even knowing full well that "Don't Make a Sound" is a FNAF themed level and I was expecting some form of jumpscare, (that I hoped to avoid) I still got a panic attack from encountering it. Please change this as I can't play this level if I run into Jumpscares and I can't beat the game otherwise.

You're obviously trolling to an extent, but I have a real question: Would having more options for this game upset you, even if the developer had the final say?

You can give a snarky answer if you want. It's pretty much what I expect lol

"holding developer at gunpoint"
never said this, I'm just against an option for what is essential not a jumpscare

"The developer can decide how they want their game to be. Others are also allowed to voice those opinions and provide feedback."
I never said he can't and I'm voicing my own opinion, am I not allowed to? My opinion and feedback is that a toggle option shouldn't be added

"If a game's really not for me, I don't play it. If it's a game I want to enjoy, I will express how it could be a game for me."
if you hated spiders but wanted to enjoy a game about spiders would you ask the developer to remove spiders? what about horror games? would you ask them to remove any tension or scares just so it can be a game for you, not every game is made for you and it's a fact people should accept, I don't play dark souls games because I don't like that level of difficulty but I don't cry and ♥♥♥♥♥ to the developers to lower the difficulty

also I'm not trolling, and you won't get a snarky comment like you desperately want, you also seem quite dismissive of my opinions for what is essentially and overblown issue, to anyone worried about this level let me tell you how it actually plays out and how you WILL NOT BE SCARED

1. enemies count down from 5 (you have 5 whole seconds to get rid of them wow!)
2. they change sprites to an alert one visually showing the player whats coming
3. the music changes to what essentially sounds like panic music
4. the background changes to show you somethings wrong
5. the toppin monster chases you, if it touches you surely nothing good will happen!
6. the scream isn't loud, it's in line with the screams enemies make when you run at them, not even on the level of modern horror games or fnaf

genuinely overblown issue, if that sequence of events scares anyone maybe don't play video games, the excitement could give you a heart attack

If the dev isn't being forced to implement anything, then I think it's really your reaction that's overblown. You could just say "I don't want this" instead of obfuscating that point with some virtue signal about preserving the creator's vision. You claim you're not being snarky, but you interestingly refused to answer my straightforward question. That would've been a nice way of proving me wrong.

Your spider example is poor, considering that the couple of jumpscares/screamers being discussed are absolutely not part of this game's core identity. People probably want to play Pizza Tower because they like Wario Land, the art style, or some other reason. Even if you believe my feelings are silly, which maybe they are, you insinuation that somebody is stupid for wanting to play this game for reasons beyond scares is equally silly.

Additionally, bringing up Souls is a poor example, considering that's a series I actually have plenty of experience with. Speaking personally, I believe the challenge of those titles is an intrinsic aspect of their identity. However, I have no issue with people saying they'd want a more traditional easy mode. I might argue that those options already exist in the game through mechanics such as magic and summoning, but maybe some people just want to play a traditional playstyle. If Fromsoft added a straightforward easy mode which toned down enemy damage or something, I would really not care as long as I'm free to continue playing the game how I want to. Hell, even if I did believe it was a poor change, I would still identify it as a change Fromsoft made instead of getting upset at the people who asked for it.

I guess the difference between us is that I don't feel a need to belittle you for your preferences, whereas you seem to have immediately jumped to calling people children that are crying for a toggle. Maybe try to speak like less of an ass if you don't want people to dismiss you as a troll.

This entire exchange is dumb. I'll only reply if you actually have something insightful to say.

crybaby loser can't handle ms paint jumpscares

[Frostea]

Seriously the secret jumpscare on the main menu is 10 times louder than the "jumpscares" in this level. It really isn't an issue.

[The Sweetroll is a Lie]

Im going to have to agree with Dead Eye as its true that the jumpscares don't illicit the panic that they usually do other than the fact that its categorized as a jump scare, the sound is poor, everything is coordinated seconds before you see it happen, its more of a nod to fnaf than anything like a real jumpscare. If you have a problem with general excitement then I can see this game itself being way worse for panic attacks than the actual "jumpscare" moments can bring. Or perhaps this is some sort of reflex just on the association of jumpscare and not actually how exaggerated it is? Some people talk about trombone champ's jumpscares and I would say they aren't in your face but they are still loud and make people reel back atleast the first few times as they change and randomize the timing for the scare.

The jumpscares in DMAS arent even scary and they're not unexpected. You can see the enemy coming from miles away and you know that their jumpscare is coming every time.

Maybe make it so that it plays a goofy noise.

You can still beat the game, you just need to collect every other toppin, also if you wait at the menu without turning the lights on for a minute you can enter a semi debug mode that was most likely left during development

This isn't true, btw. Waiting in the dark on the menu is another jumpscare

way to ruin the fun

[Bee Dad]

Best thing to do currently is to mute the sound.

[JPAgain]

There are two solutions to this:
Try to get good and avoid being touched by the monsters (There's even an achievement for not getting jumpscared a single time)
or
Skip the level and collect the toppins from every other stage (you need 90 of 95 to fight the final boss)

[Colind8]

It has been several days since you posted this, but if you want to remove the jumpscares, you can (probably) do so easily by replacing the jumpscare sprites with whatever you want. I don't think you can mod out the sound unfortunately, but you can just mute it then. The jumpscare sprite is called spr_monsterjumpscare and you can change it using UndertaleModTool or some other gamemaker modding software.

If you're extra savvy, you can probably figure out how to replace the jumpscare code entirely to just skip it.

[Cheese]

I just don't get it. Like, yeah, jump scares are technically in the game, but purely as a level mechanic and an obvious parody of FNaF. There's zero attempt to surprise, let alone scare, the player, given the half a dozen obvious forms of telegraphing, how restrained the sound effects are, and how goofy the screens are.
The stage as a whole doesn't even approach the level of horror of an average Courage the Cowardly Dog episode.

They're pretty weak jumpscares to begin with but somehow they still stress me out. At least I found a rare funny version where instead of the standard "ooh I'm a spooky monster" one instead they took Peppino to Octoberfest.

ayy thats rare
