Call me a fool, I'll only get a few hours here and there, but that'll do! 💪 Just need to come up with an awesome & unique gameplay idea that's also super easy to implement. 🤔

Placing & shaking tree trunks. Not that much, but time to sleep already... 😴

PLAN: - [X] procedural trees - [X] spawn fruits when punching - [ ] collect fruits - [ ] thrown them at other players or trees - [ ] player with most kills at the end of the round wins - [ ] polishing

Now switching to multiplayer sync & game rounds. Leaving easy & pleasant stuff for tonight (juice, map design, etc.). 🙂

• ✅ procedural trees
• ✅ spawn fruits when punching
• ✅ collect fruits
• thrown them at other players or trees ⚙️
• player with most kills at the end of the round wins
• polishing (map design, juice, sounds, etc.)

The loop is in place, it shows who the winner is at the end of the round. They're tons a small things to fix & improve, but with a nice map it can be fun to play as is. I'll do my best to reach that goal tomorrow. 😴

• ✅ fix all (or most) sync issues)

Finally happy with multiplayer sync, will let it as is for the jam. 🙂 I checked "do not rate me" for Audio (using SFX provided by the engine), wondering if I should do the same for graphics. I did built all assets myself using code, Cubzh & Magicavoxel, EXCEPT FOR THE AVATARS. What do you think?

The rules are simple: - Punch trees for fruits to fall, harvest them - Throw them at others, the player with most kills at the end of the round wins

You'll need to bring at least one friend though to appreciate it, there's no AI. 🕹️ (you can play in Chrome & Firefox)

TIPS: - Look out for bumping trees, someone is currently collecting fruits there! 🌳 - Be quick when punching trees, there's no way to see what's happening around you while doing that. 🔥

Already received a lot of valuable feedback, that's why Ludum Dare is so great! ☺️ I'll certainly publish a v2 soon to improve the game, considering all your comments. 📝📝📝

Thanks everyone!
