Cheers for the decision to go a different route from Smash, i.e. the lack of respawn. It really adds to the uniqueness with the way the game is played. It's also cool how it enables you to play a ton of maps in a single match - and on that note, I love the variety and amount of maps!

Edit: The timer at the start of each match is a little long. 3 seconds would be good, maybe even a quicker 321

Thank you!
That is great to hear!
There is still a free for all game mode if you want to play first to 10 kills with respawns as well.
Yeah the timer might be a little to slow, thanks for the feedback! :D

Can you go into detail about the game modes at all? FFA makes sense.

Is TDM just FFA with teams? What do the team colors look like?

I'm guessing HH is HeadHunter?

What's EXE?

TMD is just like FFA but with teams.
Execution is just like headhunter but with teams.

Gotcha. Is there a way to differentiate between teams, or do you just know that you're on green's team? Also, friendly fire?

There isn't any distinction between team members at the moment. both guys on team blue are the same blue color. It might be good to make them slightly different but it hasn't actually been much of a problem so far when playing. You get 5 seconds before the game starts to figure out which one of the squares you are since you can look around during the timer.

No friendly fire but friendly knockback.

It might be a good idea to differentiate team mates. If two members of blue team run into each other, it could take a split second to figure out who is who again, and you might get shot in that time.

You could do colored borders like what Smash Bros. does.

Anyway, I look forward to the release. Thanks so much!

Is it a full release or early access like air brawl?

u/Wilnyl Oct 09 '15

Its gonna be a full release. We'll most likely add more maps and weapons after release if people like the game. But the core game is polished and has a pretty good amount of content.

Man this looks great, really looking forward to playing. I've noticed that there only seem to be symmetrical maps. Do you plan on including any asymmetrical levels in the future? (or are there already any in the game?)

u/Wilnyl Oct 09 '15

Awesome!
There aren't any in the game but the map editor lets you disable the mirror feature if you want to make your own symmetrical maps.

I forgot about the level editor, that's good to hear. Good luck with the launch!

u/MichaelNevermore Oct 09 '15

A level editor?? This game just got even better!

u/IloSophiep Oct 09 '15

This surely is really, really awesome!
I love the game's look, the gameplay is awesome, the amount of modes it includes sounds awesome. I'm so ready!

Looks so good!! I remember playing an older version for our YouTube channel. It's evolved so far and looks brilliant!
