About Slap-It Together
Gameplay
"Set in a game show that only cares for the numbers; you and up to 3 online friends slap, throw and whack your way through hordes of enemies and hand-painted environments in this comedic zombie wave-based fighter."
Players (the contestants) are tasked with lasting as long as possible in a humourous horde-based survival. With the ability to pick-up a wide variety of objects around the levels, contestants can arm themselves with wacky weaponry (Baseball Bat, Guitar). Alternatively, they're free to go bare-handed and slap their opponents.
Story
The first time anyone heard of the Slap-It Games was on a globally broadcasted ad. It showed off a brand new game show, where four random (kidnapped) contestants are dropped into a prepared location, and must escape. All while fighting off wave after wave of zombies with nothing but their bare hands and anything they could find lying around.
Contestants are placed into a homey living space. Cameras are placed throughout the lounge, watching down on them. Once the contestants are prepared for their next trial, they can jump into The Pit (ball pit), and begin their fights.
Doctor Sir Rio Rascal [Game Show Host] is brilliant, charismatic, filthy rich and bonkers. He started the Slap-It Games because he loves watching others fail miserably, and gets upset when they don’t. He rigs the games to appease his ego.
To counter his mischief, contestants may receive Contestant Sponsors that have been smuggled in secretly. Alternatively, contestants may receive Game Sponsors who praise Dr. Sir Rio Rascal for his work, hindering the contestants' experience.
Playstyle Support
Slap-It Together is prominently an online co-op focused game. However, players will be able to play alone or locally (WIP) with up to 4 players. Furthermore, if you don't fancy teaming up and would much rather join the wonderful world of sabotage then players can be... less supportive.
Next week, we'll be showing off some gameplay videos!
