Couch Wars

Build an army while making a path to your opponent. Have one giant epic battle as paths converge, and destroy your opponent’s base. Orc fight!

I wanted an excuse to experiment with Unity’s new Input System, so I took a shot at a local multiplayer game because couch co-op and versus really hit different than online gaming these days. Each player controls a cursor on their side of the screen, using either Mouse & Keyboard, Xbox Controller, or Playstation Controller. Selecting their base or any of their units opens a small context menu for summoning, moving, attacking, and more! The project centers around these two mechanics - Selecting tiles with a cursor, and utilizing a context menu.

Each player has resourves in the upper corner of their side of the screen. These resources cap out at 1-3 depending on the type, and can be used for Moving a unit, Attacking a unit, Casting spells, Placing new tiles, and Triggering special tile effects.
