Chaosah Magical Arcade
Shoot ball into colorful blocks in this Peggle-like game based on world of Pepper and Carrot, web comic made by David Revoy
This game is made for Pepper and Carrot game jam in 9 days (first was skipped due to my laziness)
It was made mainly by me (Tired Bunny), but there were two members of my improvised team:
- MiFix - Testing on Windows
- Laika (System Maid) - Supervising, Devlog-Related tasks (I wait for a video ;з)
Gameplay
Aim using mouse (though unlike Peggle, aim is not completely aligned with mouse so look carefully), then press Left Mouse button to shoot!
Bouncing of colored blocks gives you points, and you need to clear all red blocks to clear the level until your ammunition runs out.
- Red (orange) blocks give you 100 points (+multiplier) and are required to beat the level
- Blue blocks give 10 (+multiplier), cope with it
- Purple blocks with plus sign giving 500 points (+multiplier) and change their position every turn
If you are lucky, you can shoot into free ball basket to get... Well, additional ball!
Multiplier is going up from 1x to 10 x based on how many red block you have cleared out. Once you clear all of them, multiplier goes 100x for a short amount of time until ball falls into pit and level ends. Leftover balls give 10000 points each!
Story? Lore?
There is currently no story except for - "Pepper made an arcade-like tabletop game using magic!"
I am deeply ashamed as a person who is very careful about the lore of my favorite worlds to make up such an excuse of a story
