I can imagine that this would be fun if you had a busy Twitch channel. I played Solo Arena, and it got pretty crazy very quickly. The game was very fun. I had some type of audio bug though, which multiple instances of the background music would be playing at once which sounded like a cacophony of guitars and drums (maybe caused by going to the menu multiple times)."}],"images":["ld31\/39742-1dc5eb98fb34787451a912a22987f31c.jpg","ld31\/39742-139b93f3af24ff725b1f50732b0c6baf.jpg","ld31\/39742-e6325871694180f08fd70d868df52f56.jpg","ld31\/39742-411a93ad87f4b84edb673b477d790641.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/69996444\/MANvsTwitch\/index.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/69996444\/MANvsTwitch\/MANvsTWITCH_PC.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/69996444\/MANvsTwitch\/MANvsTWITCH_Mac.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/KittyMac\/LD31","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"13659","g_author":"39742","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"13689","g_title":"MAN vs TWITCH","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"182","g_commentcount":"25","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39742-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39742-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39742-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39742-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"WELCOME TO THE ARENA NOOBS!\r\n\r\nMan 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.\r\n\r\nHere's how it works (don't worry, if you're playing solo we will simulate a viewer audience for you :) ):\r\n\r\nLaunch 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.\r\n\r\nOnce 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.\r\n\r\nWhat'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!\r\n\r\n\r\nMan 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!\r\n\r\n","title":"MAN vs TWITCH"}
