Choose which one of the four Horseman of the Apocalypse you want to side with in an online battle for the souls of Earth.
In Rapture Capture you pick a faction and control one of Death, War, Famine or Pestilence. Capture zones on the map by converting as many puny humans as you can, while other players all over the world are trying to do the same.
Who is the villain? Everyone is the villain.
Also, contains Goat of Justice!
Made using PlayCanvas (playcanvas.com), our collaborative HTML5 game development tool. We're in beta right now, come and try it out!
I'm quite impressed by all the online games that have been submitted to LD48. How do you manage to keep decent servers up? Anyway, nice game, great graphics and awesome concept: online persistent world that all players modify. Great!
Simple, but non prohibitive gameplay. It occupies a brainspace that rewards persistence moreso than performance, which makes the game much more approachable to all types of players regardless of skill, but seems to lack in depth as a result.
Once I let the game run for quite a while, the game began to run at an absolute crawl; not sure what the perpetrator was, but it was running at an guesstimated 3 frames per second.
I managed to convert the entire map to Death, but to no result. I suppose persistence is its own reward :P
Great well polished game entry. I like the Dark.Art.Style. What about adding a light cone instead of seeing the whole playfield in a post compo version?
Cool game. I'll have to check you guys out (playcanvas). It was a little laggy for me (OSX Mountain Lion on newest Chrome)... but I think that's just my MBP.
Ohgod, the harbringers design is sooooooooooo cooooooool, also i like the concept even if some kind of powerup/action involving clic would have added more rythm to the game :3
I didn't get the online part, but otherwise I think that the concept is pretty interesting, and there seems to be a lot of 3D modeling involved. Also, there's a goat \o/
Not too bad as a concept, though I found that there's a nasty leak somewhere that causes the game to slow down drastically as I play. It took about 30 seconds for the sounds to stop after I closed by browser tab.
It is pretty addictive, though! I spread hunger through the land, and beat back disease into a corner. :)
@Zelen3d & Sergey Mohov: Yep, the state of the map is stored on a server and can be fought over by any players of the game. Every time you cycle back to the map from playing a map tile, it will refresh to the latest state. It would be cool to update the game to refresh the map in realtime so you see other players converting map tiles to their faction as it actually happens.

But maybe the procedure is a little too long.
