Boits by torquilmacleod

[raw]
made by torquilmacleod for LD 43 (COMPO)

Boits is a quickfire swarm point capture game. The aim is to capture as many points as possible in the 60 seconds, however to capture a point or fight off enemies you must sacrifice your own boits. A new Boit will be given to each player who still has a Boit left every 2 seconds!

There is a bug where the game will not restart on pressing enter at the end, had to go to bed so no time to fix it, close and open to replay!

The art very "pure" reminds of Eufloria!
I really like the overall feeling.
Nice little game, it plays well :)
Boits movements are very smooth, it's satisfying to see them flying all around.

Good job on your game.

It was interesting how the boits would duplicate over time so you have to wait to build them up before attacking (otherwise the game would crash sometimes if all your boits died :P). Also, I really liked the swarm movement mechanics. It was cool to see them fly around a general area, which could be used to protect a diamond. However, I couldn't figure out a strategy to win :(

Nice entry. The swarm AI was good most of the time, only one of the 4 teams managed to screw up and hit the same block for 60 seconds :-) I won with 10 to 7 to 3! Maybe the tutorial should also be mouse controlled, since the game is. And it was very tiny in the zoomed out mode, maybe increase the size of the game objects a bit without having to zoom in and out all the time. Good game!

Very good! I think its minimalistic art matches the gameplay. However, playing again didn't work.

Cool take on boids flocking! I do feel that everything could be a little larger by default, but I liked the style.
