Wild-West-Massacre

Slavic Game Jam 2017 local multiplayer Top down shooter where players don't know with whom they play

The theme of the jam was "Unknown" and we solved it by making a game where a player does not know who is his friend or foe. The following rules describe the game:

• There are four players, paired in two teams
• The game takes place on shrinking circular arena (battle-royale style)\
• There are obstacles and random events (falling dynamites)
• The players have two bullets
  • One real - that damages only enemies, and does nothing to allies
  • One fake - with the same mechanics as real, but does not deal damage at all
• The aim of the game is to eliminate the enemy team, while staying alive and out of the wall of death

We designed this game with parties in mind - so that it is quick and rewards players with lots of shouting at each another ;)

Due to the lack of time we didn't manage to make a tournament ladder or multiple rounds
