>> PLAY Factory [VS minigame]

Archive: 7 posts


Grab 2 or 3 friends, control the little recycle bots and have fun in this simple, grabinator based, minigame!

Bring the toxic containers on top of the factory and throw them in the recycle bin to win points.
Use the tubes, the conveyer belts and the deadly powerup smartly to be the quickest and slow down your gadders!
You can also steal the boxes from them... any means are good!



I needed a break after ARABESK, so I made this simple, lighthearted and colorful level for fun, and relativly fast (3 weeks, but I also waited for sticker panel to be out). This is my first minigame by the way..

It's really not meant to be the most advanced or original minigame out there, and maybe the "kiddy/cuttesy" style can be over the top for some people lol, but hope you'll have fun as much as I enjoyed making it!

Thanks to comphermc for the logic help, especially for the menu and for finding a way to fix the random scores issue!
Thanks also to highlightnotes as I used two of his nice custom music tracks he gave as prizes.

Thanks!

Hand drawn...? You mean Move drawn...lol
Guess I was lazy on that one, but in the same time, even before the move pack was out,
I wanted to use the MM stickers for a clean and cartoony look, which is hard to get with the paint tool...

I've played this quite a few times now. When I first loaded up this level I was amazed by the use of stickers and the sticker panel from the MOVE DLC pack. You've clearly taken advantage of it.

Gameplay is fun and addictive, especially if start doing sneaky things like stealing boxes and throwing your friends around. It only makes it more amusing to play. Once or twice I got thrown into the recyle bin but it was all part of the fun and gameplay experience. Being able to select a different coloured bot is great for being able to distinguish other players on the level. The power-ups is an added bonus to an already fun level. Between getting boxes and climbing the factory I also found myself runing after others to catch them when I had my power up. This adds a nice twist to it.

Sound/music used is great, actually gives it a retro vibe. I thought the speeding up of the music towards the last15-30 seconds was great and enhanced the urgency and hectic gameplay. It definitely made me try to rush up to the top to get the last one in or to stop another player.

The design/visuals is very charming, bright, colourful, cute and friendly. Reminded of a cute japanese theme or bomberman from back in the day. The factory is well designed and laid out so all players have an equal chance of getting to the top and back down again.

Overall, I had a lot a fun, so much so that I yayed it and hearted it as I'll be back.
