TAGGLE by korigame
-----------------
T - A - G - G - L - E
-----------------
This is my first Ludum Dare Entry: A game called Taggle.
The game is very basic.
Two players, sitting side-by-side, control their own character.
A game of tag. A game of collecting.
One player the Collector, one the Chaser.
The Collector is slow, but has the special ability to toggle its own visiblity.
The Chaser is quick, and it's his/her job to tag the Collector.
When the tag is made, the players switch roles. Make sure you pay attention to your current role!
Only the Collector can obtain 'bits'.
First player to collect 10 'bits' wins.
Controls:
Player 1 (Minotaur):
Movement: Up, down, left, right arrow keys OR Left Joystick of controller 1
Go Invisible: M or L key. X button on PS3/PS4 controller 1. A on Xbox Controller 1 *
Player 2 (Lizard-thing):
Movement: R,F,D,G keys OR Left Joystick of controller 2
Go Invisible: Q or Z key. X button on PS3/PS4 controller 2. A on Xbox Controller 2 *
*: You can only go invisible / reveal yourself, if you are the Collector
I urge you to use controllers if you can (if they work) - and plug your laptop into the tv via HDMI and play on the couch while you're at it!

There should be 'Taggle_Alpha1_Win_Data'
folder next to the executable
And I dont know there to change resolutions and quality
Awesome for 48Hrs
bentog: Cheers :) There was an indication in an earlier build, but I think the confusion adds a dimension to the game, so I removed it. I really want to do a version that supports up to 4 players, and the confusion in that instance would be really cool - you could hide in plain sight as other players try to figure out who is the collector. Post-compo of this will definitely be a thing!
I appreciate the physics on the trees so much also haha. Thanks for including the source, I was really curious as to your technique on that (as well as the smooth scaling animations).
