This reminds me ever so slightly of the original Worms even though the gameplay’s completely different. I think it’s the pixel graphics and the colour scheme. In any case, it’s a fun little game! It seems pretty close to one of the templates, but I really like the way the level disintegrates. Playing on my own (which is always a nice option, though I can see how this would work in multiplayer), I actually found that constructing my way upwards made for a winning strategy so that element of the game seems to have a pretty significant effect. I don’t feel as though this exactly nails the “Fix It!” theme but it’s definitely relevant. Nice work!
Thank you for playing.
>one of the templates
I took the arrow fight template and edited/added onto that. The bots the arrow template has by default isn't that smart, it's very random and cannot shoot any arrows. When playing actual multiplayer there is a lot more destroying of blocks where placement of new ones matters more. But thank you for the input. It is very informative.
Like that you have multi language, and cool sound effects.
Thank you for playing. The Multi language is a little buggy, but I wanted to add it since it's not a lot of text. Along with the sound effects.
Fun idea and gameplay! The controls feel a little convoluted in the beginning, but you get a hang of it after a few minutes. I wish I had more control on dash, or for the dash to be much shorter. I played 1v1, my spears killed my opponent but their spears didn't kill me. Might be because of my poor internet, the other player was the host. Full screen would've been nice.
Thank you for playing. Maybe I should have explained it a little better, and done more with the dash. There is a small bug depending on the angle the spear is hit at, that it might not register as a hit, mainly due to latency and the spear's hit boxes. And yeah full screen would have been a good idea.
Made a gameplay Vid with your game and some other entries
Thank you so much, having visual stuff is very good for seeing much more on what needs to be changed or not. It is very informative and interesting to watch.
Sound does exist, but the bug is that the variable to set the sound effect and music level is reset by the host. So if the host has it disabled then it becomes disabled for everybody, same thing with language at times.
I enjoyed this I suppose placing blocks is a clever way to fit the theme :) love your build from the template.
Thank you for playing. Glad you had fun.
Good idea! My friend and I enjoyed the intense matches! I do you feel as though the down-time between each match is a bit too long considering how short the matches themselves are.
Overall, nice game!
Thank you for playing and enjoying it. Maybe It should have been shorter with the down time, but I did want to make sure it's very clear when a round is over. But thank you for mentioning that.
