beat-em-up

Multiplayer Beat-Em-Up game with lobby, matches, punches and a chicken!

Made during a 24 hour hackathon at #GameHackDays - Feb 2013 (Note: the gamehack branch has the version showcased during the presentation at GameHack)

(This was originally implemented on an old version of Chrome)

Demo - Requires 4 players, ask your friends to join!

Installation

• Clone the repo.
• Install node.js.
• Go to /server, install express.js (npm install express) and socket.io (npm install socket.io).
• Run the server (node app.js)
• Navigate in Chrome / Firefox / IE10 / iOS to localhost:8080

Configuration

By default the match size is 4 players (so you need at least four people to play). You can change that number in server/modules/lobby.js by edditing the matchSize variable. Ideally it should be an even number so that you have two teams of equal size.

Gameplay

You can hit other people with the Z, X, and C keys, and walk with the arrow keys (↑, ↓, ←, →). Your team needs to pick up the chicken (by punching it, obviously) and keep hold of it to score points. The team with the highest score wins.
