Catch Pet by Nibble Bits Studio

[raw]
made by Nibble Bits Studio for LD32 (JAM)
The game begins with all players can shoot. When a player is hit, it will flash in red and only they can shoot now. While your character is flashing, you will lose life. When you hit another player, you will no longer lose life and this condition will be passed to the other player reached. Only the flashing character can shoot.
The winner is the player who survive!

Well, the weapons are: a spy platypus who throws a hat, a ninja pig with a shuriken, a crazy chicken for eggs and one penguin who throws his food. They are handled by the characters, walking with directional and shoot with one button.

There are also some powerups: an energy drink, which increases the speed; a heart which increases life; and lego, which can be dropped on the floor and step on who loses life.

Controls Keyboard:
- Player 1: WASD - movement; Space - shoot; Alt - drop item.
- Player 2: Arrows - movement; P - shoot; O - drop item.

Controls Joystick (works best with Xbox Controller)
- Player 1-4: Left Stick - movement; A - shoot; X - drop item.

Good use of the theme and good use of the unity GI, playing at night much more cool.

Gameplay was nice I played 2 people but playing with 4 people probably would be more cool, but the voice when picking the itens gets repetitive very fast.

Thanks for playing and voting. Yes, the game is better playing with 4 friend! Was a bit complicated to program and test, as we work only by hangout. wWe did tests with more people a few hours prior to submission and it was really fun!

Cool concept. I'm also alone, I was getting this strange thing where the gun stopped shooting after I injured player 2. Otherwise great job. Sound design could be a little better, but it gets the job done. The graphics were awesome, and the game play seemed solid. Aiming was a little difficult though.

Supernovadx, thanks for playing and vote ! About player hits another and can not shoot, is part of the gameplay . As explained in the post above, only the player flashing and losing life can hit other. Thus, the other players must escape who is losing life.
Also, the game was developed for local multiplayer only , with no artificial intelligence opponents.

Thanks for play and vote! It was our first game in Unity 5, we experiment the improvements in lightning. At first, we think to release a Web version, but for that, we could take off the day/night feature to run without lose performance. So we decide to not release this version. Thanks again!

Fun game. Nice to see you got a good hangout game done in time. Audio could use some punching up to make it more "addictive" to play but it functioned well enough for a game!

Pretty impressive! It seemed really designed for controllers, so not having them hindered the experience. Playing two player on the keyboard felt very cramped.

I have to test alone, so take my words lightly.
Very, very good graphics and models!
I liked the concept of a "hot potato" game, probably is a very fun game to play with others. xD
Good job!

It's a nice Idea, but kind of impossible to test the full potential of the game alone!

otherwise, the art and the gameplay seems to be pretty cool, will test later with someone!

I guess it gets a lot better with more than two players, but it was fun trying to juke the other one and placing legos in their path. :)

Nice menus ans splash screens, did not find much of those in other entries. Liked the music and lighting. Controls where very smooth, and the gameplay is nice.

Sadly I have no one to play it with at the moment; bots would have been fun but I understand the harsh time restriction :)
