Just realised that its my week to present a game, so, here, goes, nothing…
What would happen if street fighter and gish made beautiful babies? Soap Wars.
In the cold, barren and bacteria infested world of public bathrooms, there remains only one oasis of hygiene. Yet even this swine flu crushing Saviour has fallen into a pit of Raging Horror where it must fight for its life.
Carelessly dispensed the soap begins to plummet towards the basin, its potential is crushed when a hand lacking in basic coordination takes a wild swipe. The soap sees the hand, empty, confused, dirty, but it cant help any more, fate, and gravity, have taken over. The soap watches as its entire life plan dissolves because of one careless mistake. As it falls it screams, ‘why? am i not good enough? am i not worthy of aiding your sanitation purposes?’ But its too late. The cold porcelain shatters all its hopes and dreams. Its old life is over. Soap wars begins.
The unloved globules, tainted by the cheep dirty basin, striped of their hygienic purposes, bitter and confused, unleash their fury upon one another. they were once brothers, but no longer. theres only enough room for one blob of soap on this basin, will it be you?
This is essentially a button masher. two to four players, each pick a different soap colour (pink, green, blue, etc.) and fight to the death. the soap looses lives when it gets pushed or thrown off the edge of the basin. the more damage your soap takes the easier it is to get pushed off. Attacks range from jumping and crushing other soap, to pushing, bighting (i guess soap have teeth?) consuming others and spitting them off the edge. To avoid an attack you scatter, though this could make you easier to consume? and every now and then if you mash the buttons just right, a finger will come down to try to wipe the soap away, taking any that get in its way.
so theres my game. enjoy. personally, i predict it’ll be the next Big Hit.
or rather not.
