TOBR - Tower Offense: Battle Royale by gentoogames

[raw]

made by gentoogames for LD 41 (JAM)

Most Recent Network fix (PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER BUILD!) : 0630 CST, 25 Apr 2018

INSTRUCTIONS: This game -must- be played multiplayer! You can join our active server by clicking:

Enable Matchmaker

Find Internet Match

Join Match

We will keep this sever hosted to try helping aggregate players! However, you can play this game with multiple people on a local network with their own connections using the local client options. Thanks for checking it out, and we'll be rolling out some networking hotfixes over the coming days!

NOTE: We are experiencing issues with deployment of current builds.

All updates are imminent!

In this 'genre mismatch', enjoy all the freedoms of a Battle Royale with all of the limitations that come from being a single, lonely, tower-- not being able to move anywhere or do ANYTHING!

This was an ambitious project for us because we had not previously tackled networking inside of mobile/pc games. All things considered: we are very happy with the outcome of this game. We are aware that with a little more time we would be able to really build on this idea, and we plan to do so! Look forward to playing a full featured game of TOBR very soon! Coming to iOS, Steam, and your nearest game playing device this Winter(2018)!

Can't extract the .zip on Windows, might want to look in to that.

I met an error on macOS. I can't unzip the `zip` file.
When I try to unzip, it says "unable to expand Error 2 - No such file or directory". And I have try to re-download it.
I don't know it's a problem of my computer or of your game~~

Since there I couldn't get into another room, I'm not sure how the gameplay is

Couldn't find the match unfortunately. But I've enjoyed the music a lot while waiting :). Especially in the middle, when it's pitching. Pumping up bois! I'll try it one more time later, maybe with a friends or someone will be online next time. Battle Royale... damn, I'm intrigued :)

I did not really understand how to play but I loved music and design.
Very bold of you to try a multiplayer game proposal

Not enough players to actually play the game. Sorry. :(

Unfortunately unable to play due to lack of players but booted it up on two computers on a LAN and can see the potential. Commendations for going for the MP route. Respect.

I tried pushing the "Join Match" button and it disappeared, but nothing else happened -- sadly I don't know if this is because there were no servers, or if the game is just behaving weirdly.

Is there any kind of an indicator whether the game is looking for matches?

In any case, I might try again later.

I couldn't get how to play the game, maybe because this is multiplayer only and there is lack of players. But kudos to you guys for attempting and executing multiplayer game in ldjam.

It needs a tutorial, or at least the rules have to be clarified. I think I have understood that we have to set a tower where it can fight another one, or some mountains or trees, but I don't understand how we can gain more towers to set, and the storm is coming way too fast so I didn't even see a tower destroying another one nor mountains nor trees. In that conditions, the best way to win is to set the only tower we have on the center tile of the game… Apart that, arts are good, and I think you have a good idea, it just need some adjustments. Keep going, this could be very fun!
