Parallel Processing

Summary:

Created as part of the WSU Crimson Game Jam (FA24)

Work together with up to 16 total players (locally) using a simple 4-directional input system that supports multiple players per input device. Play as a robot family trying to meet their maker and rescue him from his poor driving decisions by making poor driving decisions of their own!

This game features:

• Some very scuffed sprites that vary wildly in scale and detail
• Several mechanics that were scrapped because I ran out of time (What in the world do those white and blue rooms do?)
• Some really cute robot sprites named after Python functions

In all seriousness, the game doesn't really live up to what I had envisioned, but it was a lot of fun trying to put it together under pressure and a great learning experience overall. I look forward to the next Crimson Game Jam!

Controls:

Each player is controlled by four directional inputs. The possible input sets are:

• WASD keys
• IJKL keys
• Arrow keys
• Either control stick on a control
• The four face buttons on a controller
• The directional pad on a controller
• (Numpad keys are displayed on the main menu but are non-functional on the web build for some reason)
  

Complete a full circle for any input set (e.g., W-A-S-D-W) on the main menu to register each player. When all players are ready, hold the enter key or start button to begin!

(Note: Most controllers should be functional, but I was not able to test every case here. When in doubt: disconnect the controller, reload the game, and then reconnect the controller.)
