A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

"Man's Best Friend"

In a world in which pets are the key elements of any honor-based battle; where conflicts are solved through eternal pet-trhowing battles.

Battle your bros through an online, action-packed, not-at-all-glitchy multiplayer game, with random pets, generated clothes and beards.

Controls

  • Left/Right arrows to movement.
  • 'X' to jump normally or from walls(when forced - e.g. by movement - to one).
  • 'C' to throw and pick up pets.

When thrown, pets will kill a player(human) on hit. The player will then respawn at one of a few spawn points

> What was to be implemented, among some other things, was the petting of the pet, protection and feeding of cakes to the pet - those cakes being the cause of all violence in the game.


Disclaimer:

Most members of the team didn't sleep once during the jam and survived only using coffee and dry bread.

This was the first - almost ever - time using online systems and basically the very first time using TCP.

All elements of the game were coded completely from scratch in Lua using Love2D.
