Date: 17 December 2012

Platform: linux x86_64, Windows

Coded in C++ using OpenGL.

Windows and MAC OSx:
For non-linux users: I've tested it on a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.10 (64bit) live CD and it ran well. You can download the iso and burn it or just make a virtual machine with VirtualBox and load it!
The source should compile under Windows, but I sadly had no time to try to port it, maybe I'll have time and I'll try to.

Description:

The games is multiplayer, 2 players on the same keyboard.
They control 2 guys (anybody is a colored cube),
they can move around, do things to other people and stun eachother.
Actions on other people make evilness increase, stun the rival makes it decrease.
There's a count down, at whitch end will come TheHero, to fight the evilest guy, the Villain, and purify anybody, then he will go away and come back after another period. The Villain gets a bouns, the evilness goes into points.
The more evil players are most points they get at the Hero arrival, but be careful, it's possible to become good people stunning too much the rival!

The game has no end. You could establish a number of Hero arrivals before start playing.
