Minigame Seal Hunters

[Exide]

Gentlemen, I present to you:
-My latest masterpiece.-
-A greater party game hasn't been seen since Battle Tanks-

Seal Hunters​

This game is very simple.
You control a Seal Clobber, or Seal Hunter if you may, which is basically a troll with a club.
The object of the game is to club seals to death. There are two kinds of seals, small white ones (one point) and big, red ones (two points.)
The map is covered in slippery ice, which will make your troll glide.
There is also snow on the map, upon which your troll will walk, and dark ice which will kill any living thing that touches it.
Your troll will find powerups that will aid him in his seal clubbing.

When the game ends, the winner is the troll who has the most points.

i keep killing myself with rockets lmao

um id also prefer if the hammer was non target, but you probably put it there to show AoE.

immolation item! (for a short duration of course)

Nicely done! though it can use an AI.

Really funny game xD A simple AI should be easy to make
Anyway, the Rocket is pretty hard to aim, and the Hammer's targetting is quite uneeded. Might be better if it just went "Boom" when you click it.

When do barbaric trolls learn how to use lightning? That means they can use Machine Guns right? How about an item that shoots bullets at random angles when you use it xD
Axes could be an alternative.

Really fun game! Good job and good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. =)

I was actually thinking of adding an immolation item, but I fear it might be a bit overpowered.

I believe the far seer has chain lightning as an ability?
Either way, it's an item, so all they really got to do is to wave it in the right direction.

The hammer-targetting is very necessary. You will notice this when playing with several other players, since it is your best item (except 'steal gold') to ruin for another player.
Since you want to win, you certainly want to ruin the other player's stats.

Yes, rockets are treacherous. But that only makes it so much sweeter to actually hit someone you are aiming for.
Hint: Stand on the snow patch in the center of the map, when using rockets. (No chance of blowing up a seal that spawned right in front of you, there.)

We will never, ever see any machine guns in Seal Hunters.

I need to host this map on Battle.net more, and play with different amount of players, to get good feedback.
Meaning; no updates coming soon. (Unless I stumble upon a crucial bug, of course.)

Bonus info that no one cares about:
Seal Hunters is open-source. :thup:
Seal Hunters is coded in (lousy) vJASS only. :thup:

[Sindree]

kinda fun lol xP
tip for later migth be setting up event timer and "game ends in" timer since i got killed twice by ice randomly expanding, also many people left because they didnt know how long it would last before it ended.
Also "gamemodes" so u can set how fast the events are gonna go and how long the game will last would do wonders
