Battle Buttons by paraboxx

made by paraboxx for LD34 (COMPO)

Two players - One Keyboard. Battle your friends over access to ALL the letters! Biting and scratching allowed. Put away all sharp objects before you start.

Type the letters highlighted on the buttons with your keyboard to make them grow. The first player to grow his button 4 times to full size wins the game!

Attack opponent's button by pressing the letters that appear in the corners!

Made with Unity3D, http://www.bfxr.net/, Ableton Live, Paint.Net.

Simple and elegant :) Why do letters appear at the corners sometime ? Can't figure out what it changes in the game.

Simple and very cool idea - would be fun with a second player.
Liked the added special attack! :D
Very good game.

Played with my Girlfriend, we're now broken up.

Just Kidding, it was really awesome with two people though.

I think the game is like a toy, it provokes many interaction between players. The right side player might get a F, which is in the territory of left player. The left player might cover the key from being pressed. These things are not visible on screen.
Great job.

Lots of fun with roommate. Could have gotten way more vicious.

Cool idea! Oh, if only we had friends. ;D My rating is taking into account an ideal scenario, so good scoring.

Quite fun to play with friends! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/XuTLfsOkf7k

Nice idea, this would be great for teaching people to type.

The only thing is the lack of space when playing with friends, can't have more than two hands trying to reach different buttons in such a rush. Nice idea, tho!
