BOOMBANG
by Team Yizhou: Yizhou Duan, Celine Zhang, Jinqi Chang, Aya Hsueh, Victor Zuo
BombBang is an intricately designed two-player strategy game, divided into two main phases: the Building Phase and the Attack Phase.
Building Phase:
Players use all the materials from their backpacks to build castles on their designated sides. Crossing the central barrier is prohibited.
Players must strategically deploy resources, including special oil barrels that can cause chain reaction explosions.
Key bindings:
Player 1 uses keys 1-5 to select from five backpack slots; A and D to move left and right; S to place materials.
Player 2 uses keys Num 1-5 to select from their slots, the left and Right Arrow keys to move, and the Down Arrow key to place materials.
Once all materials are used, a three-second countdown begins, transitioning to the Attack Phase.
Attack Phase:
Bombs spawn continuously above players. The goal is to grab these bombs and destroy the opponent's castle.
Key bindings:
Player 1 moves and dodges with A, D, and W; picks up bombs with Left Shift.
Player 2 uses Num 1, Num 3, and Num 4 to move and jump; and picks up bombs with Right Shift.
The phase ends with a countdown timer. The winner is determined by who has the most remaining castle structure.
