Most of you have probably noticed the Versus mode option in the main menu, but have you tried it out? You might be surprised!
Competitive mode?
The goal of competitive mode is the same as the campaign - cook the right dishes to feed your Hoochooboo. The challenge comes from the other team who are trying to feed their Hoochooboo faster... and the fact that tourists are a shared resource!
As you can see in the image above, the tourists appear in a central area accessible to both teams. This can lead to some manic melees as you end up fighting tourists and the other team at the same time! Or just run in after the other team has been fighting and swipe their hard earned meat. We're talking about 'teams' here, but you can definitely play competitive mode in 1v1!
The cooking areas are protected - mostly - so the other team can't just run in and spoil your meals, but almost everywhere else is fair game. The goal is simple, but the best way to win is more complex. Focus too much on blocking the other team and you'll not feed your own Hoochooboo enough, but it's not wise to just let them get on with it either.
This screenshot by player Katastrophy suggests that feeding your god is a better way to win than dying ;)
