Game of Throws by ViPeOuT

[raw]
made by ViPeOuT for LD27 (JAM)
A fast pased multiplayer game where your only goal is to not get caught holding the bomb when the 10 seconds are up.

Throw the bomb at the other players to get rid of it and try not to get hit by bombs thrown by other players.

The game supports drop in play. It is however recommended to play with a low ping for the best experience.

Default Controls:
WASD - Movement
Left Mouse - Throw Bomb
Right Mouse - Recall Bomb
Shift - Sprint

The game was made by a Team of 5 people, 3 programmers and 2 Artists which all had varying amounts of free time to spend on the project. There are some known bugs but nothing game breaking so far...

Also, the game uses port 20666 if there be need of some opening... of the ports...

Great concept, I had some awful lag when there were like 6 of us so I had to quit. Great game overall, although the music got on my nerves at times.

Fun! The networking sometimes caused the ball to pass through people which could be frustrating when you then blow up, but overall it's a simple idea executed well.

This looks cool! I am hosting right now but no one joins :(
Maybe you should host a game 24/24 for a few days?

Loved it :D I had a really good time playing this game. Its a great idea, and works with the theme. Will definitely be booting this up in the office later for a LAN game with the coworkers!

I really loved it and it's probably the best game I have played this far! I had a lot of fun 1v1, and I guess it's even better with more players!

Great job 5/5.

Awesome work for just one weekend!! I couldn't join either of the games listed when I tried to play (perhaps they didn't have their ports forwarded) so I just launched two widowed versions of the game and joined my own local server so I could check out the gameplay and review the game. Very impressed by the character model / animation and the audio too.

4/5, great entry but I didn't really see the theme. Did the bomb have a 10 second timer? Could you have shown that?

From what I played. It was amazing, I'm going to guess it took 10 seconds for the bomb to blow up. Amazing game!

Started a server and invited a friend, I paid the iron price and lost. Good game.

The networking didn't come out as good as we hoped to. But it works well on LAN or generally with low ping.

Yes indeed the bomb is on a 10 second timer. We didn't want to actually show the timer on the bomb to make the players more nervous about holding the bomb for too long.

For a start - great name! Incredible environment and the graphics are fantastic, good job! All I could ask for is a bit more "fantasy" soundtrack than 8 bit one. :)

Fantastic idea, though when I joined someones server they just stood there and took the bomb... The graphics are really polished and I absolutely adore the music though. I'll come back to this if I can get some more people to play it. ;)
