Hello, here's lkav :D This is a project I've been working on a while with occasional help from an artist.
Spirit of the MaskWith the Empowered Mask, you fight for your tribe. This mystic spirit gives your skunk special abilities and force. But you’re not alone as other masks have risen as well, seeking to battle other awakened spirits.
Battle your way through forest and moor. Avoid getting hit by explosive pines. Place or throw some back to outsmart your enemies.
Pine Seekers is a
Bomberman inspired project. It's a
Competitive Online Multiplayer where your main mission is to either kill or outsmart other players. The game also features a simple Singleplayer mode.
With this project, we aim to create fun and short battles, while featuring many different winning strategies and tactics that put the player's skills to test.
Multiple Win ConditionIn Pine Seekers there are three strategies how you and your team can win. Every strategy is connected to the others.
- Offensive: This is the tribe path of Elimination. Last Team / Player surviving Wins.
- Defensive: The friendlyway is to collect enough magical butterflies butterflies scattered in the forest and moor. There might be even hidden tactics to gather them
- In between: Eliminating an opponent grants you a Spirit Point. Offering your magical butterflies at the Totem grants you a Spirit Point. Collect 5 of them and victory is yours.
AbilitiesAside of throwing and planting the explosive Pine Cones in the high grass, you have different abilities.
To use all abilities, you will need to find the empowered mask first.
- Crafting: When you run out of explosive Pine Cones, your Skunk is able to craft new ones at the cost of magical butterflies.
- Totem: At the Totem you can revive friendly Skunks by offering magical butterflies. This grants you both a Spirit Point and a Perk which you can select during Runtime (more under perks).
- Charge Jump: The charge jump gives you the overview over the map and the possibility to reach higher areas like treehouses or cliffs. [cooldown based]
- Dash: Used on ground or in air gives you a neat mechanic to dodge or move around swiftly. [cooldown based] (Dev. advice: You can also steal Power-Ups under the nose of your enemies. Have Fun ^^)
- Shield The shield ability may not look the strongest; but shielding an explosive Pine Cone will grant you some butterflies. [cooldown based]
Power-UpsThere are 7 Powerups; 4 of them are constructed as Buffs add up for a duration. Stacking is possible.
{To be Updated}
PerksThere are 8 Perks. Interacting with the Totem will grant you one of your choice.
Choose wisely. Depending on your tactics, the right perk can help you greatly.
You can find a list of information to each perk here - or figure it out yourself ingame.At the moment, we're looking to make the perks unlockable depending on the player's experience points
