Nwgame
Simple real-time multi-player game
Game mechanics
- The game is played in the browser
- The player is assigned a hero which is spawned on a random walkable tile. The hero is assigned a random name. The player can also choose a custom name for their hero
- If a player connects to the game with a name that already exists and is controlled by another player, both players control the same hero.
- Your hero can move freely over all empty/walkable tiles. They can also walk on tiles where enemies are already standing
- Each hero can attack everyone else within the radius of 1 tile around him (in all directions) + the tile they are standing on.
- If there are multiple enemies in range, all of them are attacked at the same time. One hit is enough to kill the enemy.
- If an enemy attacks you, your hero dies. When your hero is dead, it cannot perform any actions
- Every 5 seconds all dead heroes are removed (and randomly re-spawned if the player is still playing the game)
- Inactive players will respawn every 20 seconds until there are active players in the game
- When there are no active players for a minute the game will clean the map and all heroes
Control keys
