Gauntlet Galaxy

Introduction

A simple 2D PvP multiplayer arena fighter built in Pygame, inspired by Super Smash Bros. Two players pick from 3 weapons (sword, bow, hammer), vote on arenas, then battle with platforming, attacks, and knockback until one gets KO'd off-screen. Local net play via sockets keeps it fast and fair.

Play Instructions

Instructions how to play your game. Include instructions so that the grader can experience your full game (doesn't overlook any hidden features).

  • Move left/right with 'a/d'
  • Jump (including double jump) with 'w' or 'space'
  • Duck with 's'
  • Attack with 'j'
  • Shield with 'k'
  • Dash with 'L-shift'

• At the start of the game:

  • Select a weapon (Sword, Bow, or Hammer)
  • Vote for an arena

• Objective:

  • Deal damage to your opponent to increase their knockback
  • Knock them off the map to score a KO

• Each weapon has unique behavior:

  • Sword: fast melee attacks
  • Bow: ranged projectiles
  • Hammer: slow but powerful attacks
