CATACLYSM

DESCRIPTION

CATACLYSM is a fast and frantic local multiplayer arena game  where you and a friend take control of a couple of cats with particularly volatile attitudes, and blast through each other's nine lives with a variety of unique bombs, all while trying to maintain your footing as the terrain is gradually demolished. Players with platforming skills will be at a serious advantage here.

Your standard yarn bombs are dangerous, but you can make yourself even more deadly by snatching a crate containing one of the game's power-ups, including floating remote bombs that explode on command, fast-flying missiles, homing ghost bombs, and more. Or, you can go in for a close-quarters scratch attack if you're feeling bold. Remember, if you can reach them, they can reach you!

FEATURES

- 2-player local explosive cat action

- Destructible tile-based terrain

- 14 unique stages, each with an alternate "REMIX" version (28 stages total)

- 8 different bomb types including the standard "yarn bomb" and seven power-ups

- Every type of attack can be turned against you in one way or another (so be careful!)

- Earn one of many awards based on your performance at the end of the match

- Authentic cat vocalizations that were definitely not produced by a grown man in front of his laptop in the middle of the night

- Blue player and yarn bombs set to a lighter shade for better readability.

--------------------------------------

You will need two game controllers to play this game.

As the button icons in the game suggest, I designed the game with Playstation in mind. This was for no reason other than that the only controllers I could get to work on my PC were my Dualshock 3s and Dualshock 4s. As of version 1.6, Dualshock 4 controllers should work natively on Windows. I have no idea about the MAC or Linux versions, or any other game controllers, but I'd be more than happy to hear about your experiences.

Check the attached README.txt file if you need help with setting up your controllers if necessary.

Note: While the game is exclusively two-player, you can use the spacebar to activate player 2 during the match start sequence if you only have one controller and you just want to see how the game feels.

Note: I'm temporarily removing the MAC and LINUX versions until I can work out the controller input issues.

MAC USERS: I have included a MAC build of the game, but this version has not been tested by me as I do not have access to a MAC.

LINUX USERS: Like the MAC build, I am uploading this for anyone who wants to give it a shot, but I have no idea if/how it will work. I assume that it will as Unity lets you create different builds by simply selecting from a drop-down menu.
