A multiplayer game where you fight robots with... various animals. This is probably illegal. js.
I can't stop making games where the player is a variant of the robot from Low Battery. Do I need to see a doctor about this? I suppose in this game it wouldn't really make sense for the players to be anything but robots...
It's not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but it's beautiful in its own way :') please excuse the lack of cool gfx and other features.
------- INSTRUCTIONS -------
Arrow keys to move (right hand). E+R to swing weapon (left hand, dota style).
Hit other players to blow them up! HP of the other players is signified by the colour of their name. The player with the most kills at the end wins!
There is no chat unfortunately :^( this aint got nothin on snoverchill
------- POST COMPO USABILITY FIXES (20/4/15) ------- - Fix hilariously misplaced line in collision model - Add mute button (you're welcome haley!) - Added fastrope simulation, lag handling so game doesn't freeze on old pcs - game no longer starts immediately, instruction picture precedes it
------- LIBRARIES USED BY CLIENT ------- - glMatrix - collision.js and svgColParse.js from ld31 - uh, the default canvas stuff?? does that count
------- MODULES USED BY SERVER (node.js) ------- - ws (websockets) - connect (used for http host) - serve-static (also used for http host)
Not sure if I was playing against bots (are there bots, probably not?) or real players, but there were four of us and it was pretty great. Controls remind me of Super Meat Boy. Really cool visuals and physics for such a short time frame, congrats!
Very good game! Had fun playing with my friend, and personally I think the excessive particles add something special. The one improvement I could think of for this would be if there were sounds when u bashed these animals against the walls and other people
Funny game, though it wasn't very intuitive at first for me. There were maybe too many people in the room at once - it started getting kinda laggy. But also kinda fun because of how hectic it was XD
You have a real talent for game feel. The sparks flying with every movement or wall bounce, the camera shake after slamming down the large animals. Everything felt just right. Great job!
A ton of fun. Really enjoy how hectic the fights were. The swinging mechanics were kind of odd, but I started to get the hang of it a bit. As usual, particles and overall juice was awesome. Screenshake was a bit overwhelming, but I believe you're aware of that.
Hilariously fun. Hard to play but in one of the best ways. Soundtrack is quite suited to the chaos which ensues. You say excuse your graphics, but sometimes with ragdoll sprites, less is more (Phoebe demonstrates this quite nicely, well rigged!)
Crazy multiplayer game with a crazy premise. It was hard to tell how effective your...weapon...was, and what makes it more effective than others. Still, I like what I played, and think you deserve all the praise for putting it together in such a short amount of time.

This was really fun. The game feel a bit more polished. Well done.
Awesome animal flail action! It was a bit hard to read what was going on with all the sparks and things. The bots were really good I think I got maybe one kill off them.
Crazy and nice. Awesome action multiplayer game. It's hard to control this robot and to make him stay at the place, but I think it's a part of the game mechanics.
Wow! This is so far one of the best game/experiment I've seen here. Graphics is sweet to. I'm really interested in the way you communicate with AI window. 5/5 for me.
Really a good entry! Nice work! I liked the multiplayer part. Maybe something can be better : allows a walljumping a little bit more higher than the usual one. We need to do a lot of walljumping to go above, so we are killed easily. Therefore, it's currently better to stay in a certain location. Think about it! Great great one!
Great stuff! Plays very well. You won't often find me complaining about TOO much going on on screen but this is one of those times. It were at times impossible to see where your character was, maybe make them more distinct from each other? They kind of drown in particle effects and the vibrating screen. :-) Otherwise, great stuff!
Not to dismiss these comments, but there's always a huge white name label above the characters as is. I don't think you can get any more distinct than that.
Juiciness at its best, great graphics as well as music. I didn't quite get the goal of the game as I was apparently alone in the game but it still was a lot of fun.
@Tselmek this is a multiplayer game - you need to either invite friends or run the Bots linked above the source.
Thanks for the generally positive feedback everyone! I'm not happy with some of the areas mentioned as weak points too - I'll probably discuss why those things turned out like they did when I make a post mortem.
wowowowowowow!!! This is so cool! I really wanted to make something similar to this, but am a baby coder (still ended up with something I am proud of though). I looked at your AI tutorial and am trying to implement your advice into my game. Would love to learn more about how you did the smart camera, wall jumping, and animal physics. Everything in this game is so juicy, it feels amazing!
It looks like a fun multiplayer game, it does however lag alot when you play with other people and alot of this are flying on the screen. The only obvius thing to fix in this game is some optimization.
Crazy silly fun - so chaotic! The graphics were pretty nice overall and the music added to the energy of the game. Phoebe was the best animal naturally! Keep it up, this is awesome!
Tons of fun, even though I played with bots. The graphics looked fantastic, especially the little effects thrown in there. The music and sound fit fantastically with the game. Overall, fantastic entry.
Also, you made Snoverchill AND elfsworld.me? BY DOME, YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON EVER. *high five*
I was playing alone, and still had a lot of fun.
Phoebe was my FAVORITE!
