MAN vs TWITCH by KittyMac
WELCOME TO THE ARENA NOOBS!
Man vs Twitch is an run-and-gun arcade shooter (think Smash TV) where the entire game is played on one screen. While Man vs Twitch can be played solo (which you will likely do to judge for the contest ), it was actually created and designed to be played by streamers on Twitch.tv! It provides a welcome distraction for streamers to engage with their viewers between their normal activities, by playing a game where their audience can participate in the fun.
Here's how it works (don't worry, if you're playing solo we will simulate a viewer audience for you :) ):
Launch Man vs Twitch. If you are playing on a Twitch stream, you will need to use the Mac or PC build, NOT the web player build. Enter your Twitch channel's name, then press play under STREAMER ARENA.
Once you are inside the arena, it will be a lonely place. That is, it will be a lonely place until your viewers fill it with flying knives, deadly spike traps, rampaging boulders, or chickens (yes, CHICKENS!). Your audience can spawn whatever they like by chatting specific keywords in the chat ( !chicken, !trap, etc ). All of the key works are on the screen while you play, and some can only be unlocked after certain progress into the game. To keep you (the streamer) connected with your audience the Twitch chat will be displayed on the right of the stream.
What's that you say? You don't stream on Twitch? Simply click PLAY under SOLO ARENA and we will simulate the experience for you. Strafe, dodge, fire, and run as your simulated audience throws calamity after catastrophe at you!
Man vs Twitch is a 48 hour compo entry; I crammed in there what I could manage :) If you like what you see and want more, make sure to let me know!

I was also expecting some ridiculous popups on screen with something like "you have a new follower" or "chickenkiller subscribed to your channel".
