That’s pretty much what Kieru pushes you to do, hunt down your enemies without being seen before disappearing again. Writer: Nathanael Peacock at PAX - Kieru Imagine slinking through the shadows, katana in hand and sneakily assassinating other players without ever being seen.
#Sneaky ninja kickstarter game full version
Regular Human Basketball is publicly available for download here, and the developers are thinking of expanding it and releasing a full version if the community is interested. And yes, you can jump into the opposing team's robot for a little impromptu sabotage. It's a strange, over-the-top, bizarre little game that makes me want to get ten friends together and shoot some mechanical hoops. You might spend more time rambling incoherently than actually communicating or making clutch plays, but through a sheer force of wills, both robots did actually play basketball, and both robots did score points. It's strange how having that many things to do and working together to man a lumbering machine can force people to play as a team. They all have simple on/off states, so you can push forward and leave the robot to do its thing while you go raise the legs or fire the rockets. These could tell it to move forward or backward, or control the limbs, fire the rockets or raise the body. This means running from compartment to compartment around the creature and pressing buttons. Just like Overcooked or Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime, there are always more jobs to do than there are squishy humans to do them.Įach player controls one such rotund little homosapien, and once you jump inside your giant mech (without getting crushed by its legs, arms, wheels, body or the ball) you need to control the robot cooperatively. The trouble is, moving the robot is as easy as spinning plates. Each team has one giant robot and a hoop to shoot at, and there's an oversized basketball between them.
The game is played with anywhere from two to ten players, and the demo I played was using eight classic SNES controllers. What may not surprise you now that you've seen the image above, is that these really aren't ordinary humans, and what you're playing is only a strange facsimile of the game we call basketball. Really it's a competitive slugfest between two unwieldy titanic machines that want nothing more than to shoot hoops and crush humans. This is an experimental Game Jam concept from Powerhoof, the Melbourne-based developers of Crawl, which we highlighted as one of our top Steam Early Access titles.
But sometimes, PAX is also a perfect testing bed for outlandish prototypes. This is just where Regular Human Basketball enters the arena (woo, sports puns!). PAX is a hub of new ideas, new games and big tech innovations. This 5v5 game about monstrous robots lining up to shoot hoops is one of the more exciting and outlandish games I've played. Don't let the words "regular" and "human" fool you.
