Meat Game a multiplayer puzzle game in which players fight over meat in a series of perilous mechanical rooms, the aim of the game is to carry the meat through the hole at the bottom of the screen to earn a point, 7 points wins the game (scores are shown as player coloured blocks at the side of the screen).
You can see multi-player gameplay in the YouTube video at http://youtu.be/AwPHhWaidMQ (if you haven't got people with you to play the game with).
W, A, S, D is Move SPACE is Jump ',' (Comma) is Right Grab (should be Left, will fix after sleep) '.' (Period / Full Stop) is Left Grab (should be Right, will fix after sleep) ESCAPE exits to menu / game
Meat Game has been tested (and works) with wired Xbox controllers and should work other controllers supported by Unity (configuration could be needed).
Some warnings (because we forgot to allow time for play testing, sorry)
- blocks move every 10 seconds - going through the first hole on the menu screen starts a 1 player game, 2nd hole is 2 player, third hole is 3 player, fourth is 4 player - players can fall of the front of the blocks (grab walls to avoid falling)
Thanks for playing
----- Fix Log -----
- 'fixed' PC version as some levels had no moving blocks - linked orphaned audio files - fixed menu screen bug - slightly adjusted game physics - fixed impossible levels - ESCAPE key now exits game - fixed player respawn issue - fixed the WIN screen - added Webplayer and Mac versions - added instructions to the menu screen - reduced file size
It's really ambitious but the game isn't properly explained in the game. The gameplay itself is.... awkward. The idea about the block changes every 10 seconds is good but the whole getting meat is just weird, especially as it's super hard to grab it. Also when I fall down the meat hole I don't respawn....
Judging this game as just a single player is pretty hard to do. The concept is pretty great and the graphics look tasty. The ease of death and really long respawn times detracted a little from it, but I imagine that those problems would go away when you played with more people.
Sorry, we failed to make the game fun for solo play as the respawn time is 10 seconds, we have made a gameplay video ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=1izQfZZWHho ) that shows the game with multiple players.
Thanks, the character movement is taken from a physics based multiplayer fantasy game we are making (see http://indiedb.com/games/mythicbeasts for screenshots and videos).
re: gameplay, we haven't explained the gameplay sufficiently in the statement (we will add an instructional graphic soon).
Basically to score a point in the game you have to grab the meat and fall through the hole at the bottom of the screen, the first player to score seven points wins the game.
I'll be honest, I'm having difficulty playing the game, even in one player. I very often get myself trapped and then shoved off the board. I don't know how to pick up the meat if I am even allowed to do that. Nice concept, but needs a little more work.
I had a hard time playing this. Most of the time I found myself being pushed towards the screen and falling off, along with the meat. I can't seem to grab the meat easily as well. I bet this game will be a lot more fun after you polish the controls and mechanics a bit. :)
I could see myself playing this on a 3ds - I think the grabbing controls need some work though. It was hard sometimes to pick up the meat, instead I'd cling to a wall instead.
