LudumData

10 Seconds Minigames by FrozenCow

[raw]
made by FrozenCow for LD27 (COMPO)
This is a multiplayer game where you play a couple of minigames randomly and try to win or make sure others lose. At the moment I've implemented 4 of them, so it has some variety, but most variety comes from playing with/against friends.

The server is hosted in The Netherlands, so that might have an effect on latency for some people. Hopefully the game is still playable with a high-ish ping.

Playing this game on your own is kindof boring, so I suggest to invite a few friends if you can.

Controls:
* Arrows to move
* X to jump

Awesome. I played this for a while with FrozenCow and a few others, and in its simplicity, this is great!

This was fun. It started to lag really badly after a while, but that could have been at my end. Good stuff.

It was fun with the different mini games, some was harder than others, lots of people playing while I played. :D

This is the most fun I've had with any of the games in this Ludum Dare. I was laughing so hard at it.

Played as "Hannibal" with FrozenCow and some others, and it was actually fun with anything from 5 players to 10. Even beat FrozenCow in that race when we reset scores! :D

Incredible game! We had such a good laugh over Skype. Some of the best fun we've had so far, especially when the room get's quite chaotic :) I way to identify your own ball easier would be great!

Hey thanks for playing all! Had a good time. The amount of players was due to me doing a burst of votes for other games (so this game would show up higher in the Play and Rate list). If I don't do that people will trickle in one-by-one and there would be no-one online.
This might sound kind-of lame, but best way to circumvent this is inviting some friends or posting on a livestream.
I hope to still add a bunch of minigames later and see if it can catch on.

Holly hell I love this! Good job, the concept is sensational, I wish you could extend the game a little bit more :) Good luck with ratings!

This was surprisingly really fun! I guess the trouble is getting enough people at the same time. Just bribe a few friends with beers to keep a couple of people in at all times :D

This was so fun! This is the longest game I played of them all. The hug idea was so funny too! :D

This was incredibly enjoyable! There were 4 players, including myself which was a good number I thought. Really simple minigames, but the fact that you can push people really added some depth.
I wasn't expecting much from the screenshot, but you impressed me

Cool game :) Have the feeling I was just playing with the dev. for something so simple, with a few of us in there it was challenging and fun. Give FrozenCow a hug.

Tried to connect, been online for half a second (the time to type my nickname) then Chrome couldn't connect anymore to the website.

First crash of the server after almost a full week running. The server doesn't cope well with low pings it seems, something to put on the todo for postcompo.

Awesome, another multiplayer entry! I had lots of fun with my new friend FrozenCow (oh hey, that's you! Hi, it's me, Anonymous8!). I found it a bit easy first, until I thought I'd get evil and try to prevent the others from getting points, then it suddenly got very fun and kept me playing till I got 30 points. Well done! Loved the hugging game.

Awesome idea! Love the fact that you have your own server you are hosting it on! I featured it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksgU2Iicu2g
