"A battle for the graveyard" is my submission to the Ludum Dare compo category !
It is a one keyboard multi-player 2D kinda battle arena. Players are shape-shifting monsters, swapping from one shape to another to get different special abilities. The gameplay is symmetrical as both players can use the same abilities.
Player 1 plays with :
- WASD to move (or ZQSD for a French keyboard)
- 1234 to change his/her shape
- E to use the ability
Player 2 plays with :
- IJKL to move
- 7890 to change his/her shape
- P to use the ability
The playable shapes/forms are :
- Frankenstein (hand fight, does high damages, lowers received damages, moves slow)
- Skeleton (distant fight, does medium damages, moves fast)
- Slime (can leave goo that deals damage over time on an large area, doesn't take damages from those gooes, moves slow)
- Slender (cannot deal damages, can teleport)
The game starts as soon as the game is launched, players can play as long as they want as there is no timer. They can reset the map and start a new game by pressing X and M together, at the same time ! ;)
Hope you'll enjoy the game ! Leave comments !
---- POST COMPO ------------------------------------------
I published a post compo version with two little changes :
- I added the possibility of pressing ";" instead of "M" when resetting world (for French keyboards)
- The Slender now recover 15% of maximum health when teleporting. A player cannot recover more than half his total health.
- The Skeleton was able to one shot an opponent during close combat. To avoid this, bones inflicts more damages when they hit at a far distance from where they've been thrown.
- The Skeleton throws twice more bones now.
---- AND NOW ? ---------------------------------------------
