New Game: Versus

A new game based on the old 'Daleks' game, Versus pits you against ever increasing waves of enemies. You play the plucky little XKCD guy and you're on the run from a rampaging horde of Redditors. You take it in turns to move, as you run they will follow. If they crash into you the then it's game over. Your only defence is to make them crash into each other or into other piles of rubble.


You can teleport out of a tight spot, let off your one-time bomb, stand right where you are or go go 'last stand' if you think you're safe.


The primary design goal was to build a game quickly and simply, the secondary goal was to use little to no text anywhere in game, to see if I could put together a game that needed no written instructions. I think it kind of succeeds but it's all part of a larger learning process.

Play, win, lose, enjoy, let me know how you get on :)
