In this online battle arena your friends will become foes as you fight for survival. Only one will remain.

Pro Tip: Stay close to the runes, they'll keep you alive... _for a while.._

Game by me and spiderspy. We are Carry Castle.

Instructions
- Find a friend (or many, up to 10 players)
- Start and wait in the lobby, first player will become host.
- Host should press start once all are in.
- Kill your friends. Last man standings.
- Restart game when you get network issues (sorry, didn't manage to get it stable, had to rewrite all network code last 6 hours)

Controls

- W/D to move
- Space to jump
- Mouse to aim
- Click to attack

Thoughts

What a journey it's been! Multiplayer with physics was a big bite to chew but it kind of got together in the end.

Theme connection

Your HP drains over time. Only the runes can keep you going. But they're limited too, essentially limiting the time of a round and also encouraging tactics like starvation/dodging once runes are drained.

Stuff we used

- Unity 2017
- Hand drawn graphics by spiderspy, scanner and photoshop.
- No 3rd party assets except for the player character silhouette.
- Multiplayer done with Photon TrueSync. (still very beta)
