Faster than MMO by Digital Night Studio

[raw]
made by Digital Night Studio for LD31 (JAM)
Minimalistic game made to be a prototype of circle-based
MMORPG :D

RMB to shoot, WASD to move.

RULES:
1. If you shoot you loose health points.
2. When your missile hits an opponent you get the amount of health he lost.
3. Your size is directly proportional to your damge you do.
4. When you kill you will cause more damage.
5. When you die you will cause less damage.

Players limit is set for 20, but I will try to rise it up.
Authoritative server is placed in Europe, so people from another continets may have high pings.

Windows (desktop) client has lower latency :P

Made by 艁ukasz Nizik

Special thanks to Vescom (vescom.pl) for providing the server.

Good concept. But the controls are a bit rigid and the bullet to slow. I like the fact that you can play in multiplayer

There is actually a compromise. When bullets are faster it is impossible to have fun in more than 2 players :D Thanks for playing.

Nice idea, as all the people said, it would be nice to see more people playing. Great work!

The idea is really neat but sometimes when I spawn my character is forced to move upward against my will and I get stuck in the wall.

Great idea - didn't have anyone to play with though :(

You just have to press and up WASD. It happens even in World of Warcraft due to authoritative server architecture.

Hm, I like the idea but there was nobody to actually play it with. I'll have to check back later.

Usually if you wanna do multiplayer for LD, it's a good idea to have bots. That way more people can play and rate your game.

I don't have middle mouse button to spawn because I use touchpad instead of mouse :/.

I'm just stuck in the world, with no one to play with. :'( I could not experience the action.
Some good ideas would have been to have robots as well, moving around as players, just a different colour, so users could have gotten the same feel of the game when there are no more people online. :)
Still a good game, just one I could not experience.
I'll rate high, since I'm gonna check back more than once before judging ends to look for players again! :D

I like the idea, but sadly noone was around to play with when I tried. So I kinda feel I won't be able to rate you fairly, and as such I won't. I might check in again at a later time, and try again :-)
