For this hackathon, we opted to create an online anonymous .io style multiplayer game. We used Node.js, express on the server side, socket.io for realtime multiplayer client-server information transmission, and phaser3.js for client side game physics and rendering.
The gameplay is heavily inspired by the simple nature of other .io games, but is meant as a smash bros style brawler with goomba stomp killing mechanics. Stomping on other players increases your jump height allowing you to access further reaches of the game arena.
We were awarded 1st place upon completion of this hackathon.
Inorder to run this app, install npm version 12.0 or greater. npm install to install dependencies, then npm start or node ./server.js to launch to port 8081. Open a browser window to localhost:8081 to play the game locally. Alternatively go to squabble.xyz to play our game.
