Short description
A post-reality racing game.
About this game
Witchball is a post-reality racing game played by children in the year 2601. Massive environmental change has made much of the world inaccessible, and long-distance travel impossible. Communities are isolated, but communication has advanced to the point where short distances between people barely exist at all. In Witchball, two players compete in a high speed foot-race while simultaneously playing a 2D pong-like ball game on the surface of the screen. Points are gained in both aspects and tallied per lap, so it’s important -- and tricky -- to manage the space better than the opponent. ** LOCAL MULTI-PLAYER ONLY ** FEATURES: 1v1 Competitive Racing (Two XBOX controllers recommended, keyboard works though!) Challenging volleyball-like gameplay -- play on both you and your opponent's cameras! Four different courses with varying modes, for a total of 9 Tracks 8 Different Special Abilities ~*~ Originally used for fishing, glass buoys became associated with witches during witch-hunts in the late 1600s. Traditionally, a ‘witch ball’ is a glass orb hung in a home to ward away bad or evil spirits. The act of play, and games by extension, can function in a similar way -- kind of like a respite from the darkness. Games won’t solve any problems, and neither will a ward, but safeguards and rest are necessary parts of life and games can provide that. A game as a ward, not an escape. Have fun! ________________________________________ >> Made in GameMaker Studio 1.4 >> If you find yourself having framerate issues, switch to 1280x800 resolution -- very high resolutions (like retina screens) give my graphics a hard time! ________________________________________
