DESCRIPTION

Hockey Slash is a multi-player game.

The main idea was to kill monsters in coop and feel to play air hockey :)

--------------------------------
NOTICE

Hockey Slash need XBOX 360 controllers to works. (May be other controllers works, but I cannot test it).

If you got controller problems do not hesitate to close the game. Unplug and Plug your controllers.
Then launch the game.

Press B on pad 1 to activate player One.
Press A on pad 2 to activate player Two.
Press Y on pad 3 to activate player Three.
Press X on pad 4 to activate player Four.

Press Start to launch the game, or relaunch the game after a game over or a win.

In game, press A near to the puck to fire.

Some enemy need two players shoot the puck to be damaged.

I really love the main concept ! This is some neat multiplayer stuff :D

This game is awesome! I wish I had tried it at Paris Ludum Dare with more players. I'll be sure to spread the word.

TiagoJDFerreira10 Dec 2014, 12:16

Also, you should think about porting this to OUYA. This is the kind of game that OUYA owner's love.

cool

InfectionTeam11 Dec 2014, 18:22

Interesting idea, played alone, it was kind of annoying how quick the disk stopped being able to cause damage

friken11 Dec 2014, 18:38

nothing I pushed worked for start button. I have two logitec controllers.

metalchouchenauthor11 Dec 2014, 18:46

Hello Friken, I'm sorry about your problem. But it's interesting. With your logitec controllers you can select a character but not start the game ?

piotrevic11 Dec 2014, 18:46

O, that's something new, really fun stuff

ViliX6411 Dec 2014, 18:58

A little bit more polishing and it could be a solid game :)

Cool concept, a little frustrating to not have mouse/keyboard controls.

Tuism11 Dec 2014, 20:01

I don't understand why you didn't include keyboard support... You basically wiped out half the possible player base.

Then I brought mine out... And tried it... Control panel indicates it's working, works for my LD48 game No Mo Boxes,

But doesn't work on yours. Tried closing the game, plug in controller, made sure it worked, still doesn't work...

Sorry guy :/

It's a shame that I didn't have anyone to play with. Also It would be easier to play with someone using keyboard and mouse. Overall, you did a nice job!

metalchouchenauthor11 Dec 2014, 22:35

I like the idea to play faraway from the screen. But I didn't really think it will be more easy for other people to test it. Also I should do that next time cause I've got lot's of trouble when I try my game with 4 gamepad instead of two.

Tuism what pad are you using ?

ilokimo11 Dec 2014, 23:06

Good, I could imagine some additional mechanics like a slight magnetic snapping to the player

skulioskarsson11 Dec 2014, 23:07

Well done :)

Good concept and solid prototype, needs to difficulty faster, I got bored after having not been damaged at all by wave 4 and just killed myself. I only played by myself but maybe you should introduce some competitive elements rather then making it purely coop.

Hey had fun playing this with 4 players. It was fun being chased by the monsters while teammates tried to take them down. It was hard to see the blue player on the blue background and reviving dead players was kind of unclear.

oscarabraham12 Dec 2014, 04:31

We actually did sounds with our mouths. : )

Taldius13 Dec 2014, 01:55

Nice game, I like the mix between a shoot and a sport game.
Good job.

cxsquared14 Dec 2014, 17:57

Really nice balance between don't die but still do better than the other players. Some audio stuff would have made this game amazing.

flouiz15 Dec 2014, 21:21

I fell at 7. I got to play all alone, but it must be a mess with 4 players haha. You didn't try to make another game with Project Spark? :P

metalchouchenauthor16 Dec 2014, 02:12

I've got no xbox one and no windows 8. So...no more Spark for me :)

Xanjos18 Dec 2014, 16:23

Lucky I've got a controller (technically an arcade stick) to play this with but unfortunately no one else available to play with me but still, this was pretty addictive plus I liked the concept a lot (Although I'm not sure why there's no keyboard/mouse support as not everyone has gamepads for PC). Shame there's no sound though.

rodobodolfo20 Dec 2014, 16:19

It was funny Until wave 5 wher I couldn't kill the enemy due to lack of player two. Great game!

01rafael20 Dec 2014, 19:17

Can't achieve controllers :(

nbilyk21 Dec 2014, 05:20

I much enjoyed playing it with the controller. the controls felt solid, I liked the bosses.

nov1kk21 Dec 2014, 15:39

Good game!
Missing some special abilities or something, but still nice!

sikosis22 Dec 2014, 13:20

Not bad. Would have been good if the disc had friction, otherwise it was a novel approach.

2193q24 Dec 2014, 02:51

i like it.

Rodaja27 Dec 2014, 01:21

It was a bit confusing how you could get outside of the gamefield, though it could have been used as a game mechanic, like swanping the field sometimes so you have to get out, or something.

It's a neat game idea, if you work it for a while it could be a pretty good game. Good job!
