How to Play Prerequisites Before starting the game, please ensure that your system is connected to the Internet. Else the Lobby Screen would not be able to load.

Please only playtest this in multiplayer (or open two instances on your own device).

Lobby Screen:

After starting the game, set your nickname in Options before clicking ‘Online Play’. You only need to set this once. Or you can keep the default random username.

When playing with friends (max 4 players in a game), choose one person to be the host. 

1. The host creates the room with a special room name (defaults to a random string)
2. The other players join the room using the same room name
3. In the lobby, you can see the names of the other players in the room
4. The host clicks the ‘Start’ button to start the game after all players have joined

Character Select

Currently, there are only 2 characters available for selection. Click on the character’s portrait to see a short description of the character. Click on ‘Select’ to play as the selected character, or ‘Back’ to head back to the Character Select screen.

You will be able to see the characters the other players have chosen, as icons with their player number will appear on their selected character.

Once you have confirmed your selected character, click ‘Confirm’. You won’t be able to change your selection after clicking Confirm.

When all players have confirmed their selection, the game will automatically transit to the Stage Select screen.

Stage Select

There are 3 fighting stages available for this play-test. Click on the image of the stage to look at the description of the stage. If you want to fight on the currently selected stage, click ‘Select’. Else click ‘Back’ to select another stage. Then confirm your choice by clicking ‘Confirm’.

The game will randomly choose a room from the ones selected by players. More players selecting a room -> higher chance of it being chosen.

Specific aspects of our game to be tested

Please give us as detailed feedback as possible on how the character controls feel! Especially little things you notice that may affect gameplay.

We also welcome feedback on the UI flow.

Please let us know if the animations clearly display what you want to do. Are they too short or too long? 

Do you feel like your hits aren’t connecting? (Are the character hitboxes the right size)

Disclaimers

• Desert level is partially implemented. Sand pits are supposed to spawn at various parts of the level, not just in the middle. The in-game HUD for the desert level is not implemented.
• Crane is not finished. Sometimes playing as it will not work, please restart the game if that happens, or play as the cactus.
• Menu and in-game HUD aesthetics are not final, a nicer design will be implemented in the next phase.
