A 4 player FFA that's somewhat of a cross between Worms and Mario Kart Battle

Each player controls a Dropship in an enclosed arena and tries to kill opponents with two main attacks: Burst and Shot.

As long as you don't attack, your Particle Count increases. It's sort of similar to 'charging up' an attack or mana.

There's also powerups to pick up that you can use to help you win.

Anyways, there's an in-game tutorial at the beginning for newbies Enjoy! smile.gif

Note: There may still be some bugs in it, so please report to me if you do encounter one. Thanks!

Edit: Well, since I didn't have much time when I first posted this, I'll breifly describe the powerups now:

Shields - Gives 20 Ore that acts as life. Indicated by exploding Protoss Shuttle.
Super Shields - Same as Shields but gives 50 Ore.
Invincibility - Protects you from all damage for about 10 seconds. Indicated by dying hallucinations.
Lite Boost - Instantly increases Particle Count by 25.
Power Boost - Reach Maximum Particle Count.
Heavy Seeker - Doubles the homing capacity of the next Shot Attack. Indicated by exploding Valkyrie.
Particle Clear - Destroys all of your opponents' Particles.
Defensive Wall - Creates a slow moving Overlord that destroys Particles on contact. This will also destroy your Particles as well, so be careful!
Neutralize - Removes Invincibility, Shields, Defensive Walls, and Heavy Seeker effects that are being used by your opponents.
Absorption Vortex - A short stationary version of Defensive Wall that takes the enemy Particles and adds them to your count.

I used the "Junk Yard" AI script for that.

I'm hoping to get a final version out soon. It seems that as I fix one bug or glitch, a new one pops up.

Nice map, i've played it and it was pretty fun, and tutorial was helpful enough, i would give it:
  • 9,5/10 - Creativity
  • 5/10 - Terrain
  • 9/10 - Gameplay
  • 10/10 - Funness
  • Overall 9/10
But that's just MY opinion, i at least didn't find any bug, Good Luck and keep it up!

Pretty fun, but you should have added some more items or abilities seeing that its only a four player map

I originally wanted to add more powerups, but I ran out of ground single slot non-hero units (for simiplicity in Dropship unloading, Heroes = attacking, Non-Heroes = powerups) Although I could use 2-slot units...
