Arachi: Spiders and dwarves
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 9:18 amThis is a quickie I made over a LAN party during "silent" moments. It was a weekend project trying to get more in-depth with everything Game Editor can do. I don't know if I'LL EVER continue this one, but the base building blocks are there.
You are a giant spider and a rare specimen at that. Dwarves have come to kill you en-masse, for sport. How long can you survive?
Your goal is to eat a certain amount of dwarves each wave and survive as long as you can. You gain points for killing dwarves and surviving for periods of time, and the multiplier (and also dwarf agressiveness) is increased slightly each wave.
To kill a dwarf, you must trap it, then touch it. This regenerates your health. To trap a dwarf, lay a web trap or left click on the dwarf to shoot web at it. A web trap however can trap multiple dwarves at one time. A trapped dwarf is marked with a cyan color, however dwarves are never trapped for long.
You can move around by shooting web too; by clicking on a point of ground, when your web is ready and you have enough material, you will pull yourself toward the point you shot the web at. This is useful for evasion and just getting around.
Using your abilities drains you of material, but you can replenish material (and health slightly) by eating the birds that soar the skies of this world.
The local dwarves are quite daft; They will follow you when they can spot you, but you can sneak up on them by crawling through long reeds, then lure them to a trap by alerting them and making an escape.
Keys
Arrows - Move
Left Click - Shoot Web/Pull (if mouse click on ground)
R Ctrl - Lay web trap

Known bugs:
-levitating, moonwalking and stuck after climb dwarves
-out-of-bounds dwarves
-cursor flickering during wave intermission
