Veggie Wars by nexyon

made by nexyon for LD31 (COMPO)

This is a simple platformer multiplayer game with the focus set on player movement/controls!

The controls thus are:

Mouse/Keyboard:
Cursor keys for moving/jumping, mouse for using the hands (target/shoot)

Gamepad:
Left stick or dpad for moving/jumping, right stick for targetting and a button on the back for shooting. The actual controls depend a lot on the gamepad used.

Tested on: Firefox and Chrome (on Linux)

When playing alone you can at least get points by shooting bamboo, check out how much you can do with your hands! High screen resolution and fullscreen (F11) recommended!

Would love to hear any feedback you can give, cheers!

I don't know if it was just my internet connect but it seemed to lag a little but overall a lot of fun

This is interesting. I like how the score is on your body so that its always clear who is winning. Like that I can win without fighting. Nice graphics but I find the jumping/attacking sounds are very piercing.

I spent the first 10 minutes moving only with the mouse - honestly possibly a more interesting game that way. I'm not sure how the multiplayer works, which makes the rest of the game hard to judge.

I like how you can "swing" with your hands. I was playing when there was no one else online, so I didn't get to see any of the battle stuff.

Sound effects aren't the best.

When I first opened the tab I had to quickly take my headphones off because the audio was extremely loud and very dissonant. After muting chrome, I swung around a little using the gamepad controls and collected veggies. Swinging was cool, reminds me of teeworlds.

Mouse controls were fun! Background and sprite art styles were clashing. Unsure how multiplayer is supposed to work. Definitely a fun hand-throwing-armless-swinging thing though.

the joypad was hard to use, but it was fun with keyboard/mouse

Pretty cool! Swinging around spiderman-style can be quite fun, nice use of screen space and level design too. Kudos!

I'm not sure if there is a goal to the game, but it is definitely at least a bit fun.
