Top-down particle shooter for friends.
Fire super-heated globules of plasma at your enemies while avoiding their spray. The longer you hold the trigger the slower you and your projectiles travel, leaving clouds of toxic particles in your wake but making you vulnerable to bursts of fire from speedy players. Hyperplasm is deadly and will vaporize you on contact unless it is of your own colour. Rack up 10 kills to win the level and bring glory to your own!
/// HYPERPLASM IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PLASM ///

Hooray for love2D! I'm only one person with only one gamepad, but from what I can tell the controls, the audio, the physics, and the visuals especially are top notch. Great job!
This is really fun and new. I sure will be playing this with my friends tomorrow, and a lot of other days probably. I love this kind of different, fast, competitive, multiplayer games. I wish you would somehow support keyboards, it would be much easier to play with my friends. (we do not have four controls)
Pretty cool! Not a lot of depth to combat but what you do have is developed really well. Lots of good player feedback, very intuitive game. Pretty too!
Have neither a friend nor a controller. Looks like it could be fun, but didn't really get to test it. Would have been good if the info screen in game told me (or atleast hinted) that this was multiplayer only. Music was annoying. I really like the colors and the glow in the screenshot!
I didn't give give you a rating, since I didn't get the game to start. The program starts, responds to keypresses from keyboard, but I dont get a player to control, even with connected gamepad (logitech rumblepad 2). Maybe I didn't get something right or my pad is not supported, so I absolutely do not blame you ;) I'll check back here, if i remember.
From the screenshots the game looks really awesome and the other coments sound really promising!
Hey StMatn, we've only tested with xbox 360 controllers so far but I'd like to try with other gamepads. If the game detects a connected gamepad you will see a little coloured rectangle in the top left with a flashing 'A'. Thanks for passing along the info.
We shouldn't really say this to anyone, but it feels strange that anyone shot kills you immediately, so you may be navigating throught a dense cloud of shots and then get killed by a rogue slow little pixel.
Also, level design is a little tricky on the upper side of the screen, for two players it becomes a trap quite easily. Moreso knowing where the other player will respawn throught the squares. Though those things probably get less problematic with more players.
Graphics are simple but nice to look at, and the sounds are finely implemented so as to tell you how bullets and yourself are getting slower the more you shoot.
