Original concept by Charles V Fisher. Music by Frenchyboy
Rules:
- The first player to act alternates between full rounds. Both players perform these actions
- All steps are mandatory if they can be done
- Move a pump from one location to another (first select starting location, and then select destination)
- Ooze generates. If all locations in a section are filled, the ooze consumes that location (and any pump that might be there)
- Place ooze on any single location without ooze
- Remove ooze from a single location, where you have a pump
- Game ends when one player loses all of their pumps
There has been talk of taking a board game and digitizing it as either a mutator for a jam, or as a way to get more games out there. I wanted to see exactly how much work that would take. This took about 2 weeks of part time work, which is longer than a typical jam.
I tried to remain faithful to the rules of the board game (ooze generation, initial setup and rules for moving pumps around should be the same as the board game), while making it into a single player experience (something I am more familiar with creating). If you have a friend to play the board game with, I would be interested in seeing what you think of both experiences.
Charles, I hope I did your game justice.
